CompleteSite Interactive Offers A Free Website And Two New Add-On Website Modules
The recently launched CompleteSite offers a new
concept for the accounting profession: modules that
can easily be added, together or separately, to virtually
any Website. For firms that do not yet have a Website,
CompleteSite Interactive will provide a multi-page,
customizable Website free of charge to host these
modules. Current modules include an Interactive Center
(consisting of both a Virtual Accounting Office and a
Client Services Center) and a Financial Guidance
Center. New modules are planned for the future.
Virtual Accounting Office (Firm Interactive)
The Virtual Accounting Office is intended to improve
firm productivity with the following features:
1. Document Manager -- allows accountants to
securely send, receive and store documents online.
They can choose to make files accessible only to firm
members, to all clients or to specific clients. Or they
can limit accessibility to just themselves.
2. Information Manager -- allows firm members to
access personal and firm information (contacts,
calendar, tasks, etc.) anytime, anywhere from client
office, home, hotel, aircraft - anywhere there is access
to the Internet.
3. Online Applications -- allows accountants to access
from a single source (their own Website) all of their
online applications.
4. Web Explorer - provides an accounting portal (an
adaptation of the award-winning My Accounting
Portal), offering easy, intuitive, and designed access to
the Internet right from the accountant's Website.
5. Marketing Center - offers specific ideas and how-to
tools for marketing an accounting firm, including models
(such as press releases). Several leading professional
marketing experts provide practical guidance, and offer
their services if needed.
6. News - provides easy access to general, business,
sports and other news from the top news sources.
Client Services Center (Client Interactive)
The Client Services Center is specifically intended to
strengthen client ties - and build new ones - with
numerous features that are intended to transform an
accountant's Website into a hub of client activity and
increase "stickiness." Among the sections:
1. Document Manager -- allows accountants and
clients to exchange documents and collaborate online,
anytime and anywhere, through a portal available only
to each client.
2. Information Manager -- allows clients to access
personal and firm information (contacts, calendar,
tasks, etc.) anytime, and anywhere there is access to
the Internet - through their accountant's Website.
(This feature is intended to greatly enhance
the "stickiness" of the accountant's Website.)
3. Login Center - allows clients to access their online
applications from a single-source, their accountant's
Website.
4. Recommended Products -- allows resellers to market
their affiliated products (or just recommend preferred
products).
5. Web Explorer -- includes extensively researched,
carefully screened links to over 4,000 "Best of the Web"
sites in every conceivable area of interest (plus over 2
million unscreened links).
6. News - provides easy access to general, business,
sports and other news of interest to clients.
Financial Guidance Center
The Financial Guidance Center offers nearly 3,000
pages of important financial guidance designed,
according to the company, to keep existing and
potential clients returning to the accountant's site on a
regular basis.
If you are a registered investment advisor or otherwise
need NASD-Compliant, this is available as an option as
part of the CompleteSite Interactive Website.
Free Website
For firms that don't have yet have a Website but want
to take advantage of the above features, CompleteSite
Interactive offers a free Website, with FREE website
hosting included. Accountants can also upload their
firm's logo for a truly personalized look. Customization
typically takes about 15 minutes, and changes can be
made instantaneously at any time.
A truly innovative, state-of-the-art product that offers major new benefits for the practitioner

There is a technology paradigm shift occurring. The
platform is evolving to the Internet, and many of the
old rules no longer apply. The accounting industry is
running at breakneck speed to keep up with the
advancements in technology for business. Successful
firms have come to the realization that the corporate
CFO and CIO (or the comptroller and the computer guy)
must now work more closely together.
Accountants have tried to become IT consultants in a
defensive effort to make their own processes more
effective. But an accountant, the true numbers
mechanic, is not typically a technologist. So it comes
to those who understand both the technology and the
business process to help provide the solution.

| Need More Business from Existing Clients? | | |
 It is easier to sell additional services to an existing
client than get a new client. Creating awareness of
your complete array of services is essential to generate
additional business. Have you ever discovered in a
conversation with a client, they purchased a service
from someone else - and your firm was qualified to
provide the service? What is probably even more
disturbing - they would have preferred doing business
with you, but did not know your firm could provide the
service. Assess your firm's cross selling success by
asking these two questions: Are all of your clients
purchasing all of the services they need that you could
provide? Are all of your clients aware of all of your
services?You can increase awareness by educating your staff
and your clients. In your normal staff meeting,
incorporate a ten-minute slot to reinforce and introduce
services you would like to promote. This is especially
helpful to younger staff members, who are likely to be
working at a client's site. Include instructions on
spotting potential opportunities, creating awareness
with the client, and turning the lead in to the
appropriate person in the firm. Regularly showcase an
array of services to your clients. This can be done
with direct mail, newsletters and seminars. BizActions
is an innovative new way of accomplishing this task.
Each BizActions email has a custom message section,
where you can describe a service and have an
immediate way for your client and/or prospect to
directly contact you for more information. Take a FREE 21 Day Trial of BizActions and grow your business one message at a time! | | |

| Why ASP? (Application Service Provider) | | |
 The ASP industry was created to provide a low-cost
alternative IT solution for businesses. In your office,
you probably have PCs that are networked together,
and you may even have a file server. As likely as it is
that you have a network and a server, it is equally
likely that you have ongoing problems with them.Industry analysts have said that maintaining networked
PCs costs the average business between $250 and
$385 per month per PC. They also say that maintaining
even a small file server can cost a business between
$350 and $1000 per month. These costs reflect only
the maintenance of the systems, not the management
time (or down time, lost productivity, lost data, lost
business...)
| | |
| WAN your LAN | | |
 Using the e-Accounting application services, you no
longer need to have a file server in your office and you
don't have to install applications on all your
workstations. The ASP service eliminates the worry
and expense of building and maintaining a business
network. Your applications and your data are hosted
and delivered to you via a VIRTUAL WINDOWS DESKTOP
that you access over the Internet. Now, you can
access your network, your desktop, your applications,
and your data - at any time from anywhere! Your
business LAN becomes a high-powered WAN, providing
service to all users regardless of their location. For a
single monthly subscription fee, you have access to
your desktop and applications from anywhere. You can
login to the system while at a client's office, from...
from anywhere you have Internet access.Start with a subscription for yourself, and then bring
your clients online with the service. Now they, too, can
access their accounting from anywhere. If the client
business has multiple locations, you can provide them
with a service that allows all their offices to be working
on the same set of books in real time. Once you start
bringing clients onto the system, bring up your other
staff members, too, so that they can work on the client
books. Everyone is working on the same system, the
same platform, the same version of the application, and
all the data is up-to-date and real time.
