Q. How
an outsourced Bookkeeping and
Accounting
Department will help me
to manage my business?
|
|
| |
A. By outsourcing your accounting position(s),
your company will no longer have to endure the hiring
process and lose valuable time and money training
professional bookkeepers. Or, if you have been doing the
bookkeeping yourself, you can finally free up your time
to focus on things more important to you and your
business. You’ll be able to make informed decisions
based on more than just your cash balance at the bank.

Q. Won’t I lose control if the books are done by an
outside service? |
|
| |
A. The short answer: No. You will actually now have more
control since you will have improved financials at your
fingertips and have more time and money to plan instead
of simply reacting to business events. |

Access & Security |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Q. How will I obtain access to my accounting material?
|
|
| |
A.
Your accounting material is always up to date and always accurate. This
is the same procedure and technology
your bank, medical record keepers, and the IRS
use to access and process information. It is secure and
it is dependable with 100% back-up running in real time. |

| |
Q. Who controls the money and makes the decisions?
|
|
| |
A. You have 100% control of
the money and the decisions
on how they are used or invested. You decide what
individuals and which vendors get paid. We provide the
data, but you approve all invoices for payment and sign
all checks. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Q. Can other people access my data?
|
|
| |
A. No
one can access your data without your company’s
written permission. We go to extraordinary
lengths when it comes to security measures. We can offer
greater security than many companies would have. Your
data are backed up on a real time basis to a secure
offsite backup facility. Also, the facility’s power
supply is hooked up to backup generators to protect
against power failures. How many of us with computers in
our offices have this type of system and security?
Security measures are taken to make sure that your
information is protected. Each company’s data is
password-protected. As your data travels over the
Internet, it is protected by a technology called Secure
Sockets Layer. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Q. What about security? |
|
| |
A. We use the same level of encryption that a major
bank, such as CitiBank and Wells Fargo, uses. You can be
assured that you and only you are privy to your most
important data. (Security.) |
