Why should you offer your clients online accounting or virtual bookkeeping services using our QuickBooks® cloud computing solution? Whether your client is just down the road, or you've just always offered traditional bookkeeping services, the idea of an online bookkeeping solution may leave you asking why. The list of reasons for offering online accounting services is endless and is continually growing. Here are just some of the benefits of our QuickBooks® hosting and cloud computing solution for you and your clients: Year-round income. Bookkeeping can be an excellent source of year-round income for accountants. Our QuickBooks® hosting and online accounting solution takes the hassles out of the bookkeeping process and makes it easy for you to grow this year-round revenue stream. Save your clients half. By outsourcing their business bookkeeping and accounting to you, your clients often save half the cost of hiring an in-house bookkeeper plus they get an expert managing their books. As the accountant, you can provide professional level services that businesses otherwise could not afford to have in-house, while giving them 24/7 access to their financial files, reports, and information. Make bookkeeping easy. Business owners are looking for an easy accounting solution that they don't have to worry about. By offering online accounting services to your bookkeeping clients, you can better meet their needs and make their bookkeeping process easy, fast, and hassle-free. Their accounting process is reduced to simply having someone scan in or drag and drop their source files for you to process. Work from anywhere. Our system gives you, your clients and employees the ability to work from anywhere. This empowers you to hire remote employees, work from home or even from the coffee shop down the street. You no longer have to be tied to your physical office to access all your files and applications. The option to work from home can be an added bonus for employees with a long commute or can be the answer for your clients who travel frequently for business. Save time for you and your clients. Our QuickBooks® hosting and online accounting solution can help save you unbillable time AND save your clients valuable time. Getting those accounting source documents is reduced to simply dragging and dropping or scanning documents directly to the secure network for you to process. All of their financial information is available in real-time whenever they need it. Save money on IT Costs. Our system can eliminate the need for you to implement, maintain and invest in your own internal network. Our system gives you the ability to interact with both your staff and clients, easily and securely. Many business owners are not, and do not want to be, IT experts - we can alleviate the IT hassle and give you and your clients a secure, reliable network with enterprise-level technology. Best of all, since our servers do all the heavy lifting to run QuickBooks® and other applications, you won't need to upgrade your workstations as often and can even use a netbook or iPad. Give your clients 24/7 access and control. Many business owners want and need to have access to their accounting files on a day-to-day basis. This lack of access is often why business owners choose the more costly option of an in-house bookkeeper. With our system, you can give them that day-to-day access and more. Our system provides the security and assurance that they can not only access their accounting information whenever they need it, but now they can access it wherever their business takes them - their office, their home, business trips, etc.. We make it easy for companies to outsource their accounting to a qualified, experienced bookkeeper, for often half the cost of an in-house employee. Put an end to the hassle of trying to get paper and files back and forth. Tired of having to pick up, wait for the mail, sift through unorganized documents, and/or decipher fuzzy faxes? With Swizznet, your clients can simply scan in their hard-copy documents to the location of your choosing on the secure network and that's it. It's immediately there for you to process. Our system reduces their task to simply clicking a button to scan in the documents. If the documents are already in electronic format, they can simply drag and drop them to the secure network, as easy as moving files around on your local machine. No work duplication. Are you tired of having to continually duplicate work? Sending QuickBooks® files back and forth can often create the hassle of re-entering or duplicating work. By giving you and your client's real-time access to your accounting files, we put an end to duplicate work. We give you work-flow control and allow all parties to access the files they need when they need them. You and your client can even be working in the same file at the same time. Increase client satisfaction. Our online accounting system helps you bridge the gap between you and your clients whether they are just down the street or three states away. Your clients will feel like they have more access, control and security so that they can relax and focus on other areas of their business operations. By offering your clients the best possible service, access and security you will increase both client satisfaction and retention rates. Grow your business. Our system gives you the tools to streamline the bookkeeping process so that you can not only grow your client book, but you can hire new employees and directly grow your revenue streams. Our system can help you be more productive and we can also give you the tools to hire new employees to service your clients - with the freedom to have them work remotely. Attract new bookkeeping clients even in a down economy. As the economy struggles, our online accounting tools can help you attract new clients. Saving money in this type of economy is more important than ever to business owners. We can help you attract more clients and save them money by outsourcing their accounting to you. Tightening pocketbooks make outsourcing more and more attractive to business owners - especially when it means that they don't have to lose access to their books. Collaborate with Mac Clients. With Swizznet, you and your clients can collaborate and work in QuickBooks® simultaneously whether you are on a Mac or PC or both. Swizznet removes the barriers between Mac and PC and makes collaboration a snap. Get help marketing your business. We are happy to provide you with the tools and content you need to market your bookkeeping business. We have experience and expertise in marketing online accounting services and want to help you. We can provide you with free client brochures and online content for your website. Hire employees. More work than you can handle? No more room in your office? Hire a remote bookkeeping employee. Our QuickBooks® hosting and online accounting solution, coupled with email, instant messenger and webcam, can make it easy to hire remote employees. You can share files and interact, just as if they were in your office, but you don't have to bear the cost and overhead of hiring them in-house. Many workers today want the ability to telecommute or work remotely for a more solid work/life balance or to simply put an end to commuting. Our system makes it possible for you to attract and retain better, more qualified employees. Offer CFO-on-Call services. Our platform makes it so that you can offer complete full-charge bookkeeping and CFO On Call services to your clients. This means that you can charge them a flat, monthly fee for all of their accounting needs (often saving them half the cost of hiring an in-house employee). You can cover their day-to-day needs with full-charge bookkeeping services and provide them with higher-level CFO consultations on a monthly or quarterly basis. By saving time with our online accounting solution, you easily add in a 1 hour free consultation each month. You can use this time to go over financial reports, upcoming business changes, forecasts, etc. with your clients. Help On-Demand. With our system’s user shadowing tool, you can answer your client’s questions quickly and easily without guessing. If they have a question about how to do something in QuickBooks®, you can actually log on and see what they’re seeing so that you can answer their question immediately without having to drive to their location or guess at the answer. Live support services. We believe in developing relationships with our clients and are here to help when you need us. You won’t be passed around or put in a long wait cue – you can talk to a live person you know and are familiar with to get the help you need, when you need it. Protect sensitive data. One of businesses' biggest unprotected assets is their data. Our system allows you to protect your sensitive data for your clients. If your clients are processing credit cards through QuickBooks®, they need to be PCI compliant. We can help you provide them with a PCI compliant solution. We can also help you and your clients safeguard sensitive payroll and employee data. Backup/secure your files. We can protect all of your valuable data for you and your clients. We offer the best back-up solution of any other online accounting providers by performing a full backup every 30 minutes, and can give your clients peace-of-mind with bank-like security and back-up. Go green. With our document management solution and online filing cabinet, you and your clients really can go paperless. With direct scan technology, your clients can easily transfer their hard-copy files into electronic format. Our system makes it so you and your clients can mark-up or put custom stamps on source documents before processing and filing them away in our online filing cabinet. You can even offer an added-value solution and provide your clients with an annual DVD backup of all of their files so that they can recycle their paper documents - saving on storage costs and helping the environment. Save on gas. With the price of gas on the rise, finding ways to save is more important than ever. You can save money on gas for yourself, your employees, and/or your clients. By simply telecommuting even 1-2 days per week using our QuickBooks® hosting and online accounting solution, you could be saving enough money in gas to more than pay for the service.
