Gregg S. Bossen CPA, the author
Gregg is a practicing CPA with a full-service accounting firm located in Atlanta, Georgia. After graduating college from Emory University in 1987, he began his career at KPMG Peat Marwick.

Most of his clients are small business owners who use QuickBooks®.
Since 2000, Gregg has been teaching QuickBooks® seminars around the country for various groups and is considered to be an expert in the program. He has taught both new users as well as other CPAs, who are themselves considered experts in the software. Gregg is a certified QuickBooks® Pro Advisor. Annually, Gregg teaches for Intuit, the makers of QuickBooks®, during the QuickBooks® Accountant’s Update Seminar given around the country. The seminar’s purpose is to teach accountants the new features available in the latest version of QuickBooks®. In total, Gregg has taught over 600 seminars to more than 15,000 students. Presently, Gregg is teaching a seminar designed exclusively for contractors at the Construction Expo, a trade show traveling the U.S.
QuickBooks® Made Easy™
QuickBooks Made Easy is a collection of interactive industry-specific trainings on CD. Unlike most QuickBooks® training products, which are generic and lack industry specificity, QuickBooks® Made Easy™ is uniquely designed to teach you how to set up and enter transactions common for your industry. Each training on CD comes with an accompanying handbook that can be used separately as well.
Simply load the CD into your computer, watch, and listen as Gregg shows you how to quickly set up your books and enter transactions common to your industry. With each topic, Gregg will explain not only what the best method is, but he will also explain why he adopts a particular method over another. Next, he will demonstrate the technique, using the QuickBooks® screens as he types and clicks his way through each step. You may follow along in the handbook, if you wish. He even tells you when to turn the pages. It is just like being in the live class but better: you are the only student! You can view the CD whenever you want, and by clicking the “rewind” button, you can make Gregg repeat himself over and over again until you feel comfortable with the material.
The training is designed for users of QuickBooks® who have not had a lot training with the software. If you are completely new to QuickBooks®, you will find this training to be the perfect way to learn. If you have been using the program for a while with no training, you will find the product invaluable. It will clear up many questions you have had about how to enter industry specific transactions more efficiently and how to get the reports you have always wanted but struggled to find.
The training is quick, less than 5 hours long, yet comprehensive, for your specific industry. This is possible because the training teaches you only what you need to know for your business. For example, preparing estimates is taught in the QuickBooks® Made Easy™ for Contractors product but not in the QuickBooks® Made Easy™ for Houses of Worship product—because Houses of Worship do not need it! Best of all, the product is unusually entertaining for a software training on CD. We even made it funny at times! Why, you may ask? Why not!
