how easy is QuickBooks to setup and use? someone told me it'd be best to have an accountant do the initial setup with it.

I found it very easy to set up and use ten years ago when I started using it. But, I was in the accounting business at the time, so my background most likely influenced how easy it was for me.

Hopefully, someone with no accounting background will post their experience. Another possible avenue would be to google quickbooks setup and see what kind of info you can find on the ol net

Yea Sparky, I recall PT being double entry. Also, if memory serves...back in the day it was all modular. And each module had to be configured to 'hit' the right other modules in the right places for everything to work correctly...hence my pain in the ass comment. Again, I have no idea how it is today.

I also know of a couple accountants that love having their customers send a QB file in at year end...makes things much easier
