Give the Gift of Access
The last month of the year is not the optimum time for implementing new technologies in your practice, but there are a few things that you can do now to help ease the crunch time of tax season. Setting up yourself (and your clients) for remote access to your accounting systems is one area where a little effort can make a bit difference when the workload begins to increase.
The application hosting service allows the accounting professional and the client business owner to access their accounting applications and data from any Internet-connected location. For the business owner, this provides the flexibility of being able to access business information at any time and from anywhere. Whether vacationing during the holidays, or working overtime in the store - the business owner has the benefit of knowing their systems are protected, backed up, and always on when they need it. For the accounting professional, it means having the flexibility of working on client files on your own schedule, as well as having the ability to access or review multiple client files quickly and efficiently. When the applications and the data are always available, the firm knows it can address client demands in a timely manner - even during the busy season.
Imagine being able to keep up with the write-up, bookkeeping, and other regular work your clients require during tax time. Now, imagine being able to keep up with the workload with your existing staff and resources. Application hosting services can deliver increased efficiency that helps you get more work done in less time, possibly alleviating the need for additional temporary support or professional staff.
