Working online with your clients using hosted applications

When you and your clients have access to centralized applications and data, allowing you to work in multi- user mode regardless of your location or desktop computer, it's the best, most effective solution for bringing you and your client closer.

You (as well as the client) can immediately access their information from anywhere, providing adjustments, review and reporting directly with their live data. Clients no longer have to wait until you are finished working on their books - you both work in real-time on the same files. Nobody loses any entries by overwriting data.

Separating the data entry process from the review, adjustment and reporting processes is easier when the data and applications are centrally stored and managed. Regardless of a user's location or equipment profile, they can access the necessary programs and data files to get their job done quickly and efficiently.

Outsourcing non-core business functions becomes an affordable reality for any business, regardless of size, when you have the ability to implement business processes and activities without concern for physical or geographic constraints. For some accountants, just having the virtual desktop available makes life better. Even if the clients aren't working online, the accountant can store and manage multiple client data sets on their virtual system. The accountant can transfer files to/from client PCs easily when onsite (just drag and drop between your virtual desktop and the client PC!), and to access all that client data from anywhere at any time.

Many organizations are actively looking for ways to improve efficiency and profitability in these tough economic times. Outsourcing of non-core business processes or functions has proven to be one of the best ways to help "recession-proof" the business. Outsourcing helps companies by alleviating the strain on overburdened staff, and allows the business to use money and other resources wisely. And there's been significant growth in outsourcing business from small and medium size companies. The trend is expected to continue for some time.

Outsourcing is becoming broadly adopted as a smart way of doing business. It is becoming the norm, rather than the exception. And the volume of outsourcing in the small business area is growing dramatically, with studies reflecting an expected 50% increase in volume of outsource work in the next year. Now, more than ever, the small business market is the engine of economic growth.

  • Why outsourcing?
  •   As the available pool of trained accounting professionals decreases, the increased pressure on technology will naturally generate an increase in the use of outsourcers. The small business market is the economic growth sector, and the number of opportunities being presented to smaller firms is increasing significantly. This, coupled with the decline in the production of trained professionals, only increases the value of outsourcing.

    Financial processes were the first applications of computing resources. It only makes sense that financial processes are outsourced. The market has matured, and the technology is available to facilitate such outsourcing at a broad level - safely.

  • How do you differentiate your firm?
  •    How about by using technology? How about by reminding clients of your capabilities and establishing yourselves as experts to your clients and prospects?

    You're not going to achieve this with the expensive (and painful) process of creating another brochure. After all, when it's done, it's going to sound just like all the other firms.

  • Outsource Your e-Marketing to BizActions
  •   The best (meaning easiest, least expensive, and with a good ROI) way we know to get your message to your market is by publishing an e-Newsletter. It should be issued monthly (or more often), and it should contain must-read info. Finally, it should provide a painless mechanism to let you know which readers are interested in your capabilities, whether or not they contact you directly.

    This and more is easily possible, with minimum effort on your part. BizActions provides the informative, interesting content, the tracking of interests of the viewers, and gives you what you need to truly understand your market.
