    Apply e-Accounting To Your Practice

    Many accounting and finance professionals come to us with questions about how to get new clients for their new "online accounting" or outsource business. What most of these professionals don't understand is that their existing client base is probably looking at an online solution already.

    We see it happen more and more each day. A business owner contacts us and asks us to call their accountant and tell them about our online QuickBooks Pro service. The client knows they want the flexibility of accessing their applications and data from anywhere. The client knows they don't want to have to hassle with backups and virus protection any more. And the client knows that the accountant needs access to the books.

    What our professionals don't seem to fully understand is that their existing client bases may well be the best initial source for additional outsourced or online accounting work. Looking to those write-up or tax clients and offering them an additional level of service requires fewer resources than selling new clients. In many cases, our professionals find that the client was already seeking a similar solution.

    Don't wait for your clients to ask you about working online. Connecting to your clients via the Internet can be a big boost to your efficiency and profitability, so you have nothing to lose and very much to gain.

    Network in a Box
    InsynQ e-Accounting has developed an information technology delivery model that allows for an efficient distribution of network service as well as the underlying technical expertise that supports it. We call this service model our Virtual Desktop.

    Virtual Desktops are affordable, requiring no big initial investment, and they're easy to use. Your service can be setup and deployed in a fraction of the time that a traditional network takes, and without all the mystery or fancy technical jargon. If you already have Internet access in your business... then you're already installed!

    Virtual Desktops (Microsoft Windows desktops with Microsoft Windows desktop applications!) can web- enable traditional business processes. By using the Internet as an inexpensive wide area network, businesses of all sizes can have access to each other and the standard applications and information they need to conduct business.

    For existing subscribers and e-Accounting clients and for a limited time only, we are offering a complete virtual office setup for 5 users including: 5 virtual desktops with Microsoft Office XP, an email account for each user, and the hosting service for QuickBooks Pro (v2001 or 2002) for only $89.95 per user per month. What's more, you can have us host your Timeslips application on your virtual desktop for just a few extra dollars per month.

    The Online Solution for QuickBooks Pro
    Intuit's QuickBooks Pro is one of the most popular small business accounting packages available. And it's no wonder, given the huge numbers of QuickBooks trainers, consultants, and sales and support organizations that exist. So how does a professional practice differentiate itself while at the same time leveraging the incredible market and momentum that QuickBooks has created?

    Through e-Accounting's hosted QuickBooks services, your clients are able to run their fully-functional QuickBooks Pro applications just like they do now - but they can access the application and the data from virtually anywhere Internet connectivity is available. Now, businesses with multiple locations can run a single set of books in real-time and without the costs of a wide area network. Business owners can do their books at night in the comfort of their own home. And you, the accounting professional, trainer or consultant, can have real-time ANY TIME access to your clients' applications and data - from anywhere.

    Onsite consulting or support may be part of the service you provide. Consider how much more effective your support could be if you could simply login and connect to your clients' data whenever they need your help. No more fumbling with remote control software that exposes your system (and your client systems) to potential security risks. No more copying data files to diskette. No more driving. Just improved efficiency and better service.

    Real-time access to business applications and data is what e-Accounting can offer you and your clients. Real-time data; real-time business intelligence. Working smarter just became a little easier.

    How do you INTERACT with your clients?
    There are a wide variety of online accounting and business applications currently available which address a number of business process outsourcing situations. It would seem, however, that some of the most basic and fundamental tools necessary to facilitate this business model have been forgotten. Until now.

    The e-Accounting application services (such as our hosted QuickBooks Pro solutions) represent the best way to work more closely with your clients while decreasing the overall costs of maintaining technology. But using the online application service introduces new and sometimes challenging issues, such as getting source documents from clients, communicating tasks and due dates, and establishing a workflow process that meets the needs of both the client and the practice.

    We have the solution. We have the means to provide you and your clients with a simple yet effective resource to use for exchanging documents and other data; we have a task scheduler and appointment calendar for you and your client to coordinate your efforts; and we have the links to launch your online application service or solution right from your website.

    Welcome to Complete Site Interactive - the one place you need to be to interact with your clients, your team members, and your entire practice.

    Reports that actually get read...
    The value you represent to your client is not just in keeping score. It's in the interpretation of the numbers, and the recommended solutions to business problems that you provide. You need a tool that can quickly and efficiently analyze the financial data, and report on it in such a manner as to really give your client the "inside scoop". Cash flow projections, ratios, industry benchmark reporting, and strong forecasting capabilities are just a part of what you could be delivering to your client.

    Significant business intelligence - measurements of current performance, relative performance in your industry, and projected performance based on a series of assumptions - is what you can now profitably produce easily, effectively, and with a consistent methodology that ensures a high quality product. Give your client the numbers, and then provide a narrative and recommendations - all in plain language that your client understands. Vital signs, providing a snapshot with full color graphs and detailed drill-down capability, helps you reveal the key aspects of business performance quickly and concisely.

    The tool is e-Accounting's FINANCIAL AGENT, a Web- based reporting application that can import data directly from an Excel spreadsheet. If you can export your financial statements to Excel, then you can report on that data using Financial Agent. The setup is simple and wizard-driven, assisting you with the setup of the company information and mapping of accounts. And all reports generated from Financial Agent are compatible with Microsoft Office, so you can add your logo and modify the reports as required for your practice and client.

    You already recognize the value of this type of application for larger companies. Imagine how much value and insight you could be delivering to your small business clients by using a reporting tools that lets you quickly, easily and consistently provide detailed financial reports without the typically-associated cost and time. FINANCIAL AGENT is your reporting partner, and it's only from e-Accounting.
