Time and Distance Eliminated

the client in a way that makes it profitable for the
provider. The solution is outsourced accounting online,
or e-Accounting. e-Accounting gives your practice,

increase business opportunity and profitability. e-

you and your client the freedom to focus on your core
business and capabilities.

and with your team members. Reduce or eliminate your
requirement for sophisticated technology solutions, and
give everyone the ease-of-use and security of server-
based computing. Centralize and manage your
applications, protect your data resources, and
streamline your business processes. Increase your
capacity to do business, and your profitability, simply
by making your current model much more efficient and
effective.
e-Accounting is about increasing your opportunity and
value. Through the use of outsourcers, you can
increase or expand the services you offer your clients.

success. Working online, you and your outsourcers can

the cost and inefficiency in your business. e-

consuming work that is the bane of your practice.

and it is now time to be thinking in terms of your
summer business-building strategy. Gearing up for next

building a solid foundation. e-Accounting helps you
build a foundation that can support sustained growth
while keeping customer service at the highest possible
levels.

| It's the REAL QuickBooks! | | |
 Almost daily we are asked who are competitors are. As
far as e-Accounting goes... there aren't competitors,
just potential partners. The philosophy is e-Accounting
TOTAL solutions. Choice is key, but consistency is just
as important.In order to help remove the barriers between "doing
business the old way" and "doing business online", we
recognize that many companies must take baby steps
to get there from here. Working with accounting online
falls into the same category of change, where baby
steps are required. | | |
| Web-delivered, but not browser-based | | | Rarely do we see a mature, functional organization take
one whopping jump from brick and mortar business to
Internet-based everything. Moving to an online
working arrangement doesn't have to represent a
radical change in applications or processes. Certainly,
introcing new efficiencies that simply come with the
platform will be part of the immediate change, but there
is no reason to create a requirement to retrain
personnel or convert data. Introduce your client, and
your own team members, to a way of computing that
just makes things better and not incredibly different.
Once the initial adoption has occurred and you're
working on the Internet, then you can gently introduce
alternative applications and processes that take even
more advantage of this new working environment. By serving the business software that your clients are
already using, such as QuickBooks Pro, e-Accounting is
able to give you and your clients the best of both
worlds. We deliver the actual Windows desktop
application over the Internet. It is exactly the same
application that you already know how to use on your
own computer. With e-Accounting, you simply connect
to your "virtual computer" through the Internet, using
only a browser. The desktop application that is
launched is the familiar QuickBooks Pro applications,
and the data files in use are the native QuickBooks
data files. There is no conversion required, and all the
functionality and performance of the QB application is
translated directly to this environment. And, unlike
many of the Web-based accounting systems available
today, you can easily backup ALL of your data from the
hossted system, giving you and your client the peace
of mind that you can retrieve the data you put in, even
if your Internet service becomes unavailable. Running QuickBooks online... | | |
| Does Your Website DELIVER Business? | | |
 Most professional service firms view their business
Website as the equivalent of an online brochure. This
is a great way to tell visitors about your firm and what
you have to offer, but it has little value unless you
actually have visitors to your Website. And once they
get to your site, do you have what it takes to keep
them coming back for more? You need dynamic,
informative content on your site that helps identify
areas where you can be best used. Your firm is the
trusted advisor to your clients. Help them to better
understand when and how to leverage your expertise
and experience with personal and business financial
issues.Personal Life Events, Business Strategies, Tax
Strategies, Investment Strategies - these are areas
where situations and events may impact the personal
or business financial health of your client. Providing
information about these situations helps your clients
better manage their financial resources, and introduces
questions and scenarios that get them thinking. In
turn, this type of activity helps drive more business to
your practice. Much more than a brochure... it's business development! | | |
