Introduction

Greetings all,

The purpose of this blog will be to document my experiences in setting up a new company, from scratch, using QuickBooks 2009.

The company is called Novelle Bridal (http://www.novellebridal.com), a retail store specialing in wedding gowns and accesories.  We are located in Edmonton, AB and will be opening in February of 2009.  The store is run by my wife, Angel, with help from me.  We are currently in the stage of finishing up renovations, and trying to get the store ready for its Grand Opening.

I will try to document all the joys and pains of using QuickBooks, as well as allow readers to ask questions about my experiences.

Here is a little information about our store :
