The client can opt for any one of the three processes offered, depending on their individual preference and convenience.   All options are extremely safe and come equipped with state-of-the-art network security devices.

•1.       Server Based (FTP) Bookkeeping Process:

In this process, the client sends the documents either by scanning the documents and uploading them to a secure FTP server or by faxing the documents to a toll-free fax number. A back up copy of the books also needs to be provided, which can be done using QuickBooks backup. The service provider then works on the books during the same night and uploads the books onto a server or sends them to the client via email. The client is then able to download the books from the server by the next morning.

•2.       Remote Access Bookkeeping Process :

In this process, the client has the option of emailing, faxing (to a toll free number), uploading onto a secure server or just placing the books in the computer which can be then remotely accessed. The service provider then connects to the client’s computer using a remote desktop access service, such as Secure VPN. The client will then have access to the updated books next morning right on his computer.

•3.       Application Service Provider(ASP) Bookkeeping Process :

In this process, the client either sends the books via email, fax (to a toll free number) or just uploads the books to a secure server. The service provider then updates the books using any of the preferred Online Accounting Software available, a good example being quickbooksonline.com. The client then has to just login to the Online Accounting Software in order to view the books.
