I just had to post something about the benefits of working remotely! I have all of my “work stuff” spread out around my computer at home and needed to get some information from a client. Turns out that she is also working from home today! Because she has her company file hosted remotely, she is able to process invoices, payroll, and other daily tasks from the comfort of her home while the ice and snow pile up outside. Our firm also employs remote technology that enables us to access our workpapers and other documents so that when the weather (or creeping crud) prevents us from getting to the office, we can still be productive. There are so many applications available that are not only paperless, but integrate with QuickBooks and other accounting software. Many of these applications save time and money in the long run because they reduce data entry and redundancy.
If you are interested in learning more about hosted data services, or any other methods for working from multiple locations, give us a call. We would be happy to go over your options.Â
As a side note, if your QuickBooks file is sluggish or just getting unwieldy, we can help you get it in shape! And unlike having QuickBooks join Weight Watchers, you can normally see results in 24-48 hours!
Just received this note from Intuit:
A commercial power failure has disrupted some of our online services. We are operating on back-up power and are working to restore services. We’ll provide an update on this issue at 12:30 p.m. Pacific time.
This is Cindy, and I have a question for those of you who are using QuickBooks.
If you could spend 60-90 minutes learning more about QuickBooks, what would you like to know? Sheryl and I are currently setting up some “learning experiences” for new and established QuickBooks users and we are running into a “brain block.” Because we use this program on a daily basis, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows as much about how the program works as we do. Rather than a formal classroom setting, I am thinking about some sort of roundtable discussion forum where we can share some tips and tricks. If this is something in which you might want to participate, drop us a line.
This is Cindy and I get to add a new certification to my name! I passed the Level 1 Method Consultant Certification Exam that was given last week in Atlanta. Fifty of us sat for the exam and those of us who passed are in the inaugural group of consultants for Method (www.methodintegration.com)  I get a new logo too!
Scaling New Heights was a fantastic opportunity for me to talk to software developers, other ProAdvisors, and vendors whose products integrate well with QuickBooks or offer an alternative for business reporting. The climb up Stone Mountain was hot (that is why I chose to take the cable car to the top!) but the view that day was beautiful. The laser light show (sponsored by Sage) was very enjoyable and the meal on the porch with a view of the monument was great (both the meal and the view).
Next step for me is to start working with people on Method and studying for the Level 2 certification in September!
