Hello,
I am looking for a book that would cover accounting/bookkeeping for a very small manufacturing business. For example, I build custom furniture. I don't keep any materials in stock. I buy only what I need when I need it. I have two books: one is fine for a small retail business, the other is from a class I took back in the late '80's, and it's fine if you are say...WMH Toolgroup (I don't remember much from that class). I have been building custom furniture for the last year and have been tracking my finances with Quickbooks Simple Start. It doesn't seem adequate, and I'm not sure I'm even using it properly. Specifically, it would be nice to have info on properly setting up my chart of accounts. I know that visiting an accountant would be smart at some point (perhaps that point is now), but I am on a very tight budget and was hoping to delay a little longer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Brian Mahney
