0 11.03.09 Site Tweaking Underway
You may have been wondering why there have been no updates for a few weeks. I promise that I haven’t forgotten about the site! There are a few changes going on right now, some in my personal life and some with this business. With any business it is important to keep a good balance between work and home life, even though sometimes there might be big changes going on in one or both.
I’ll be looking at reworking the current articles so that they clearly identify actionable items. Most likely you came to this site to find a quick solution to a problem you are experiencing, and with some feedback received and myself taking a step back I can see that my recommendations sometimes aren’t exactly clear. I hope to have existing articles re-worked, and the site organized in a different way to help you get to the information you seek quicker.
If you have any ideas or suggestions for helping to transform this site, feel free to send me a comment!

0 09.28.09 Should You Be Using QuickBooks 2010?
Over the last couple weeks I have helped a few companies upgrade their QuickBooks to QuickBooks Pro 2009. Both had been using it for the most basic of tasks (bank account reconciliation), but not for the many features available to them. I spent over half an hour going over some of the features available, and how they could really benefit their business.
This weekend I noticed that QuickBooks 2010 is now available (in Canada) and I went through the process of upgrading my 2009 copy to 2010. If you are currently using QuickBooks (any version) or if you are not using any business financial software, here are a few reasons that you should consider getting QuickBooks 2010.
2 09.15.09 Why You Should Use a Smart Phone
Cellular phones have come a long way since the first commercial cellular phone was launched in 1979. With many modern models, not only can you make phone calls, but there are more and more services being made available to provide the world’s information at your fingertips. Because greater functionality is built-in, smart phones can keep you organized and informed while out of the office.
