How to Set Up Books on Quickbooks
Every QuickBooks "book" can be used by the software to store new information, such as accounting records, updates to your bank statements and depreciation values of products during a fiscal year. You should generate a new book for the program each time you begin tracking a new entity, such as a business or individual. QuickBooks calls each of these books a "company file."
