In the future, nearly all business accounting applications will be located on secure servers located on the Internet and not on your clients' computers.

That's a bold statement but it makes sense when you consider the benefits of online accounting applications.

Online Accounting applications allow you to...

• Work from the office, from home, or on the road.
• Access your clients' financial data anytime, anyplace, and enables your clients to do the same.
• Easily clean up the books and get to the business of financial reporting and other value-added services.
• Answer your clients' questions and solve problems quickly and easily.
• Reduce your travel time and cost of visiting clients.
• Consult, mentor, and train clients in accounting applications by seeing exactly what they are doing on the computer.

Online Accounting applications allow your clients to...

• Consolidate and manage a single set of books regardless of how many locations they have.
• Work from the office, from home, or on the road.
• Keep everyone on the same version of the software.
• Have the peace-of-mind in knowing that their sensitive accounting information is automatically backed up every day and protected from viruses.

You and your clients don't have to settle for those "watered down" online accounting applications. You get to use powerful full-featured QuickBooks Pro or QuickBooks Premiere online.

Your clients' accounting data couldn't be safer because...

• The data is locked down behind the latest 128-bit SSL encryption technology - the same security used by banks, stock brokerage firms, and the U.S. Department of Defense.
• The Microsoft Terminal Server technology that enables your clients to maintain their books online is proven, stable, and safe.
• Your software applications are hosted on a secure server in a state-of-the-art high-speed data center.
• The data is virus protected and backed up every day. The service also includes 24/7 technical support.

How It Works...

The Online Accounting package includes online access to the full version of QuickBooks Pro or Premier.

The online virtual computer is similar to your existing computer. The only difference is that the virtual computer can be accessed from any web browser on the Internet.

Your virtual computer is secured by the latest encryption software, protected from virus attacks, and backed up daily to ensure your applications are always kept safe, secure, and available.

Firm-Level Virtual Computer

You can set up a virtual computer for an off-site bookkeeper who keeps your clients' records up-to-date. You can log in and print statements and check the bookkeeper's work anytime you'd like.

This system allows you to employ stay-at-home moms and staff members who move out of your area - or even low-cost bookkeepers in other countries.

As a firm-level user, you can instantly access all of your online accounting clients' files with just one secure login.

You can have multiple versions of QuickBooks loaded in case you have clients using different versions.

Firm users also have access to Microsoft Office, so creating, managing, and editing client Word Documents or Excel Spreadsheets is a breeze.

Client-Level Virtual Computer

If you have a client with multiple offices or a client who is often out of the office, you can set up a virtual computer for them so they always have access to their accounting, receivables, and payables data.

You can log in to their virtual computer anytime and check their entries and make sure their QuickBooks records are kept in order.

Requirements

You can access your virtual computer from any computer on the internet with Internet Explorer version 6 and above - or any browser.

All the software is automatically installed for you although each user will need to supply their own license of QuickBooks.
