The Process & Procedures

There are 4 ways, that we can do e-accounting

  • Server Based
  • Remote access
  • Application Service Providers (ASP)
  • Online QuickBooks

01. Server Based

  • You Send us the Source Docs - You Scan the Documents & upload to a secure server OR e-mail them to our mail box.
  • 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).
  • 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.

03. Application Service Providers

  • You Send us the Source Docs - You Scan the Documents & upload to an ASP secure server.
  • We Use the ASP server software - We login to ASP server. (e.g. personable.com / cpaasp.com) and update the books.
  • 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.
Application

04. Online QuickBooks

Similar to ASPs, but we can use only online QuickBooks; no other application programs will be available. (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.
