Traditionally, bookkeeping services have been performed at the customer's

location where an accounting person must occupy a workstation. This increases

overhead expenses, requires extra space and may be disruptive. Alternatively,

work may be performed at a remote location, but during this time the client

cannot make accounting entries or see new information until the new data file

is returned

But LosAngelesQuickbooksHelp.com

approaches this differently. Under this setup, entries are made from workstations

at Kennedy's offices, directly into PC's at the clients' location

using online services such as GoToMyPC.com, software such as PCAnywhere or a

VPN (Virtual Private Networking) connection

For a slightly higher price ($34.95 per month) accounting files may be hosted

at a remote location in a secure data center. This option still allows Kennedy's

staff to make entries at any time, but without gaining entry to the clients

local area network. No special software is needed beyond a browser. This would

be especially attractive when security concerns are paramount or officers are

traveling

Transaction data may be gathered in a number of ways, including ubiquitous

Internet-based sources favored by e-commerce type companies. But most clients

will fax, email, or even mail data for entry. Since an extra copy is then created

and organized, the client ends up with a free backup of most hard-copy files.

Data file backups are also made on a daily basis to tape and to remote locations

"This is a great alternative for small businesses all over," said

Joe Kennedy. "We can do things in a less disruptive manner, more accurately,

under better management, and above all at better rates"

Kennedy continued "some businesses require daily updates where we do

everything, and others want us to just do a few headache-type of tasks at month-end.

Of course we'll get involved in either way"
