| I believe there are web-based accounting program sites available for clients to use. I have a client who travels world wide and would like to access their general ledger, account payable etc from anywhere they can hook up to high-speed internet as well as office staff using the general ledger on-line. The program and data would remain at a secure web-site.
Has anyone heard of or used anything like this? If so please give some feedback. Thank you and have a good filing season! | |

| Anyone using the Accounting Relief software...it looks like is a great tool for accountants and never have to worry about playing around with quick books..you can give limited access to clients so they can do all billing, invoicing and banking entries on line and you still have the control over data...I just signed up and putting some of the QB clients on this software...any feedback from anyone else will be great.. | |

| Logmein.com is the bomb, used it almost every day before Corporate Satan bought us and said we couldn't use it any longer.

| It is embarrassing to me that a company of our size is still using QB, but we use the online version, and it would be good for a smaller, less complex company. We are looking into upgrading and have found two SaaS solutions that look good: Netsuite and Intacct. | |

| I don't understand all the commotion. If you need something, open the winder and holler.
Even when I worked in a highrise years ago, we'd go on the roof and holler over to the next building if we needed something. If it was noisy outside, we'd wave a shirt, or raise a flag. This brings up another point. Who wants to know? If I'm going to Muai, f*^k the office. I aint' worried about the deposit being a little off if I'm in Muai. | |

| The Sleeter Group has recently mentioned Accountantsworld, Intacct, and Citrix. I looked at Accountantsworld yesterday and was impressed. They have videos for all their applications so you can get an idea of what the software does. I see Intacct is a preferred provider of financial applications for AICPA business applications [whatever that means] which sounds good and it's only $5 a month?!#$! Wow. Wonder if you have to be certified to use these services? Kind a looks like it. Quickbooks online is free but doesn't include inventory, purchase orders, or online bill pay, and payroll is an option [additional cost]. The free version is limited to 20 customers. $9.95 a month has unlimited customers. The files it saves also can't be converted 100% to a pc run version of QB. But you can save a copy of the data to hard disk. Oh, and [chuckle, this always gets me] NO ACCOUNTING KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY!!! HE-HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, well doggies Uncle Jed, let's go get us a copy!
Yeah, that's also what the company I worked for several years ago thought. Heck we can do this without knowing anything about accountin', yes siree, bob; cost of goods sold was charged when inventory was paid for AND when it was sold, credits taken against inventory purchases were never recorded in QB, non-accountable plan expense reimbursements were not reported as income on 1099s, yada, yada, yada, resulting in a minimum of at least a quarter million dollars overstatement of COGS over 2 years [2002, 2003. I save their ass for 2004 by arriving just intime to correct that year], plus overstatement of other expenses of at least $30K a year, all on about $700 to $750K in revenues. Yes siree, worked great for them by having NO ACCOUNTING KNOWLEDGE. Heck, to date the IRS has never caught on even though Gross Margin [revenues - COGS] in both years was negative [gross loss]. The 2nd year it was very negative. Could mean only 2 things I can think of, either somethings' wrong with the accounting or you're selling your goods for less than what you bought them for. [personally I like the first idea] But the fuddle heads at the IRS don't go for the $75K understatement in taxes, noooooooooooo, they go for the nickle and dime stuff, you know a thousand here, a few thousand there. Yeah apparently Intuit has invaded them too! NO ACCOUNTING KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED. He-heeeeeeeeee, doggies!! For those who buy what QB is selling, i.e. no accounting knowledge required, I'd like to talk to you about collateralized debt obligations and credit default swaps I bought very cheap. wink wink. QB plus No Accounting Knowledge = DEEP DO DO | |
