  • Summer is almost over and another tax season looms ahead. Is your business ready to handle the crunch of tax time? Do you have what it takes to keep the office going when employees and co-workers can't make it in due to weather or other conditions? Have you considered how you're going to keep building the practice when you're all tied up with actually doing the work?

    e-Accounting Total Solutions has the tools, applications and resources for business professionals that help them answer "YES" to all of the above questions and much, much more. It's time to let us help you and your clients get started online. Once you start, you'll never go back!

    Get Your Tax Prep Right Here!

     

     

    Here it comes! Another tax season is upon us, and you're facing potential system upgrades, certain software updates, and a full range of IT headaches and preparations to get your practice ready for the crunch. Wouldn't you like things to get just a little bit easier?

    e-Accounting already offers hosting and application management services for QuickBooks Pro - one of the most popular small business accounting packages available. For those of you who do tax preparation work for clients using QuickBooks Pro (and any other e- Accounting application), having your tax application in the same Internet-based environment as the accounting data can make the preparation process a snap!

    In a survey we sent to subscribing e-Accountants, we asked which tax preparation applications you would most like to see in this environment. And the clear winner was Intuit's ProSeries.

    e-Accounting has been hosting dedicated ProSeries implementations for several years, so we have experience with this application in a server-based environment. Now, we are preparing to launch the application into our e-Accounting "farm", and allow all online accountants to subscribe to host ProSeries right on the virtual desktop! You'll be able to access the QuickBooks Pro accounting application online, import the data directly into ProSeries, and handle your tax preparation and electronic filing from anywhere at any time! "Grow" your staff without increasing office costs and requirements; allow users to work from home or other business locations; and earn more by being more efficient during this very busy time of year.

    Contact us for more information, and get online and ready before it's too late!

    Accounting On The Internet: Paradigm shift in chewy chunks
    The market is full of online solutions for businesses. You see the "new" accounting systems , with their Web- based presentation and all the ASP benefits you can swallow. You see the small business tools that have been designed to help business users perform their daily tasks without any knowledge or training in accounting systems and such. The question is, are most businesses ready to accept this new way of doing business?

    We see most of our professionals approaching online technologies with a certain level of skepticism, and rightfully so. Accountants tend to be conservative because there is a high level of trust involved in what they do for their clients. All these new systems and applications represent change and with change comes a level of risk. And most accountants are hesitant to expose their clients to dramatic change - and risk - for fear of damaging that trust relationship. There's a lot riding on it.

    So when you begin to explore this brave new world of working online with your clients and team members, take it one step at a time. Don't try to change your technology environment all at once. Your staff and clients won't go for it.

    It's time for you to explore the solutions and services that e-Accounting provides. Our hosting service for QuickBooks Pro, for example (and ProSeries in time for tax season!), is helping hundreds of accountants to get their clients working online with no retraining and no data conversions required. It's a pretty harmless solution when you consider that if it doesn't work out, you can always go back.

    Using technology to improve the efficiency of your service can have a significant positive impact to your bottom line. But engaging new clients may become difficult if you are unable to find the skilled workforce you need in order to keep up with market demands.
