Intacct is currently serving more than 1,800 clients.

As a business owner, you might wish you could be in more than one place at the same time. You want to see how the day’s sales went, but you are at home. You are in one office, yet you need to review payables at a second location. You finally take a vacation and something needs your immediate approval. The solution is to move all of your accounting data to a location that can be accessed anytime, from anywhere. Conversion to a web-based accounting solution like Intacct will provide secure access to real-time data with nothing more than an internet connection and a computer.

Some of the many advantages include:

• A day's transactions can be entered at branch/store/office locations and then reviewed from anywhere on either a consolidated or stand alone basis.
• Payables invoices for multiple locations can be entered at the branch/store/office level, approved electronically (from anywhere) and checks can be issued at a centralized location. The actual invoice can be viewed online prior to approval for payment.
• Control/access to information is maintained on a decentralized basis, while the use of centralized functions, such as collections, can be easily facilitated.
• Custom reports can be created to track useful business metrics; real time data reduces the lag time between achieving results and accurately reporting them.
• It’s great for non-profits or other companies with external/decentralized board/management. Financial reports are available on-line to pre-authorized users.
• Custom security levels can be adjusted for each user’s needs and access levels. Internal controls are easy to implement and enforce.
• There is no need to create back-ups or install program updates.

Small business owners might think this is a solution for big businesses only. But how often have you had to go into the office on a Saturday to pay bills? How often do you end up entering the accounting information into QuickBooks in order to get a feel for what your financial status is? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay bills from home? Wouldn't it be great if your staff could enter transactions into the accounting system as they were happening, eliminating the need for “after-the-fact” accounting?
