Work – Process & Procedures |
There are 4 ways, that we can
do e-accounting
a. Server Based
b. Remote access
c. Application Service Providers (ASP)
d. Online QuickBooks
a. Server Based
1. You
Send us the Source Docs - You Scan the Documents &
upload to a secure server OR e-mail them to our mail
box
2. We
update your books - We update your books the same
night. You will have to provide us a back up copy
of your books – (QuickBooks back up)
3. We
give you the Updated Books - We mail the updated books
to your e-mail or load them on to a secure server.
You come to office the next morning and download the
updated books from the server to your computer.
b. Remote access
1.
You Send us the Source Docs - You Scan the Documents
& upload to a secure server, e-mail them to our mail
box or place it in your computer for our access.
2. We
Connect to Your Computer via internet securely- We
connect to your computer using a remote desktop access
service like GoToMyPC.com or Secure VPN
3. We
Update the Books and logout - You come to office the
next morning and find the books updated on your computer!
c. Application Service Providers:
1. You
Send us the Source Docs - You Scan the Documents &
upload to an ASP secure server.
2.
We Use the ASP server software - We login to ASP server.
(e.g. personable.com / cpaasp.com) and update the
books
3. We
Update the Books and logout - You login to the online
accounting software via internet whenever you need
- 24x7 - and see the updated books. This is more cost
effective and secure system which we can also adopt.
There are ASPs which provides online accounting on
a Virtual Desktop atmosphere.
d. Online QuickBooks:
Similar to ASPs, but we can use only
online QuickBooks; no other application programs will
be available. (www.accounting.quickbooks.com) This
has a disadvantage that presently they do not provide
the inventory feature. So in case we intend to maintain
inventory, this will not be suitable. Cost about $
20.00 per month.
