Read on for some real examples of how our Quickbooks Remote program is working:
(The names have been left out for privacy reasons)

RETAIL CASE STUDY:  Sharing Quickbooks online makes it convenient for one retail client to have ASAP to do bank reconciliations, financial statements and oversee the books, while maintaining the ability for the owner to make daily sales entries to the books onsite, write checks, pay bills and share info with their CPA.  This client appreciates the real time information and round the clock accessibility - all without transferring discs or having to schedule office visits.

HOA CASE STUDY:  ASAP manages the administrative and financial duties for an area HOA participating in the ASAP QB Online program.  Our QB Online program allows the HOA board members living elsewhere to access the books any time and any place there is a high-speed Internet connection. Meetings can be held long-distance, sharing live information over a fast, secure connection.

NOT-FOR-PROFIT CASE STUDY:  One area charitable group finds it very cost effective to have their executive director take care of most of the day-to-day bookkeeping, while enjoying the security of having professional oversight and financial reporting available from ASAP online, in real time.

RESTAURANT CASE STUDY:  ASAP’s Online QB Hosting Service has made things much easier for one restaurant client.  Now the owner/chef is able to verify and record the receipt of inventory, print checks and log daily sales figures, while ASAP takes care of his accounts receivable, accounts payable, reconciles the bank statement, keeps his books and generates financial statements.  ASAP’s Time clock system helps keep close track of employee costs and automates and simplifies the payroll process – reducing errors and fraud. With the help of ASAP, this restaurateur is able to closely monitor his labor distribution, tip reporting and minimum wage make-up, as well as vacation and sick accruals online and at a time that is convenient for him.  The Online QB Hosting Service has allowed this restaurateur to work in concert with ASAP to watch costs and improve the bottom line.

Here are some frequently asked questions:

FAQ

Q:        How are my files backed up?

A:        We perform a nightly backup of the Quickbooks files from the server and securely transfers them to an offsite location.

Q:        Can I back up my own files?

A:        Yes, you can copy files into your own computer’s hard drive through the drive mapping mechanism provided in the Remote Desktop client.

Q:        Can I create my own PDF’s from Quickbooks?

A:        Yes, you can generate and email PDF’s directly from the Quickbooks software.  This is a function provided by the software itself.

Q:        What happens if I lose my connection to the server?

A:        The server is set up to recover your session if you disconnect and attempt to reconnect within 15 minutes.  After that time it assumes that you forgot to log off and terminates the session.

Q:        How do I print from within the Quickbooks Hosting environment?

A:        Printing is always a challenge from any system, and a hosted environment like this is no exception.  If you are using a printer that is not natively supported by Microsoft Windows XP, you may need to co-ordinate a driver install with one of our techs.  They will be happy to assist in the process and have not failed at a printer install yet. 

Q:        What kind of connection do I need to have to use the Quickbooks 
            hosting service?

A:         Although a broadband connection, such as DSL or cable modem, is preferable whenever performing tasks over the Internet, a 28.8k connection through a dial-up provider is sufficient to use the Quickbooks hosting service.

Q:        How many people can access our Quickbooks file at a time?

A:        It depends upon the number of authorized users you have contracted for.  If you have only contracted for one authorized user, one person from your firm can be working in your Quickbooks file at a time, in addition to your ASAP Accounting and Payroll professional.  You may give your password information to anyone in your firm, but only one person may be active in the file at any given time unless you have contracted for more than one authorized user.

Q:        I’m a Mac user.  Will the ASAP QB Online program work for me?

A:        Yes, this online service will work with any version of Mac OS10, as well as any PC.
