In an effort to force independent publishers, such as CPA911 Publishing, to accept its terms, Amazon, the online retailing giant, has refused to sell Kindle editions of our titles. It continues to sell print editions, but has pulled all Kindle editions. Our books are available in print or electronic edition at your local independent bookshop, www.BarnesandNoble.com, www.indiebound.org, iTunes, Kobo, and elsewhere. We appreciate your continued support.

Publisher, CPA911 Publishing

Since 2003 CPA911® Publishing has been producing books for accounting professionals, business owners, and software users. Our titles are authored by experts who provide insights, easy-to-follow instructions, tips, and shortcuts. The subjects covered run from general accounting to advanced Microsoft Excel® techniques for accountants. However, our primary focus is on helping users push the QuickBooks® accounting program to its limits. While QuickBooks may be one of the easiest and most ubiquitous accounting packages on the market, it’s not always the most flexible. Our QuickBooks experts dig deep into the software and discover ways to make the program work the way users work. The QuickBooks Running series books offer plenty of step-by-step instructions as well as tips and tricks. But, where the series really shines is in offering solutions. When you have to get a task done and QuickBooks refuses to cooperate, you’ll probably find a workaround in one of our Running QuickBooks books.

Our current list of offerings includes something for everyone. For the business owner who still gets confused when her accountant starts talking about debits and credits, we have Accounting Savvy for Business Owners, a primer on accounting basics for entrepreneurs. For accountants who perform advanced analysis using Microsoft Excel, we have the widely acclaimed, Excel for Accountants, now in its second edition. The Running series offers two titles, Running QuickBooks in Nonprofits, and Running QuickBooks 2012 Premier Editions. With its wealth of tips, tricks, and workarounds, Running QuickBooks in Nonprofits is a must have for nonprofit board members, accountants, and bookkeepers. Running QuickBooks 2012 Premier Editions covers those features found in the Contractor Edition, the Accountant Edition, and all the other Premier Editions of QuickBooks, not usually included in general QuickBooks books. It is particularly helpful for accountants whose clients are running the different versions of QuickBooks Premier. For the most comprehensive QuickBooks books on the market, look no further.

Kathy Ivens, the founder of CPA911 Publishing and author of at least a gazillion computer books has died after a valiant battle with cancer. She was a brilliant, funny, and determined woman. She was a very private person and did not want a great outpouring of sympathy. As a matter of fact, she threatened to come back and haunt me if I got overly sentimental about her death. So, I’m just going to say that she was a close personal friend, and I’m going to miss her a lot - especially her sharp wit and biting sarcasm.

Her family has requested that they be allowed to mourn in private. However, I have added a post to the Articles page on this site for friends, colleagues, and readers who want to share thoughts and remembrances of Kathy. I’ll be sure to pass them on to the family.
