Consulting Services

Although the resources available on this web site solve many issues for small businesses and those that support them, there are times when one-on-one attention is needed. Below is a description of how we have worked with many clients in a personal way.

“When we were looking for QuickBooks consulting we called many of the names from the Intuit web sites list of Pro Advisors.  Several of the consultants recommended Bonnie.  They said that Bonnie is the best in the business. Her rate may be higher but you get the quality service you are paying for.   We were very impressed that Bonnie was respected by her collegues in her profession.  Now that we have used her services, Bonnie is not only quick in answering our questions but many times has several different approaches AND her answers work.  We have nothing but praise for Bonnie and her company.” Toy Nodzak, http://www.halfpricedrapes.com/

Keeping the QuickBooks File Healthy

We offer several alternatives for regular check ups of the QuickBooks data file. At a minimum, we recommend that the check up be performed prior to year end tax planning, and again prior to the file being sent off for the tax return preparation. Many clients prefer a more regular check up to avoid any surprises and to make sure that the information they are receiving via reports from QuickBooks is accurate. This process is completed by us then the client receives an e-mail that details the issues, an optional service of a telephone call is available to discuss what needs to be done to correct the issues.

By bridging this gap, she can find a way so that the needs of everyone who is using QuickBooks is heard.

Getting More from QuickBooks

Integration Consulting
is also an area of expertise for us. At least 30% of our collective time is spent investigating, testing, supporting, or consulting on add-ons and other integration issues. QuickBooks serves the needs of many, but there are also some specific needs that can only be addressed by an add-on and/or custom integration between another software program and QuickBooks. If it feels like there should be a better way, there probably is.

QuickBooks Technical Support via telephone or e-mail

Live Technical Support — When your clients need help with QuickBooks® software issues or have problems which you either don’t have the time or expertise to assist with, we can work as an independent contractor to solve the problem. This lets you maintain your relationship with your client by offering them the help they need without having to send them to another firm. We can work directly with the client or through you as an independent contractor. Either way, you maintain the relationship with your client, we simply act in a support role.

You can charge them a nominal fee or present it as a value-added service. Seminar content is flexible as is the format of the handouts. The seminars are especially effective when done in conjunction with a pre or post-seminar email, tele-class or telephone consulting, either by you or us. No matter how you do it, you are seen as a professional who is truly concerned about the success of your clients! This is also the perfect way for your firm (or your firm and a couple other local firms) to have private training for your staff.
