Excited and numb that we have helped advisors and end users with our expertise.
Four years in a row. Thank you. Wow! How can we help our community find a niche and grow their business?
Our clients play a big factor in our success. With high demand in the real estate segmentation, we are guiding the DIY end users in a cost efficient way, and accountants, CPA, and advisors expand their services in the niche industry to be an expert. The latest one is our Real Estate Broker reference guide, which offers our plug and play QuickBooks template file with industry standard chart of accounts.
In person, I'm still connecting one on one with our clients and learning new strategies for dealing and wheeling in the real estate industry. Knowledge is priceless. Makes me think one step ahead on how to implement the nuances to clients financials. I spend hours and hours of researching, testing and taking courses (even when it goes over my head). And make changes to better our deliverables.
I take on a challenge any day and enjoy mentoring professionals. We as a team are fractional controllers and developers who offer custom programming, QuickBooks set-up, review, and analysis, consulting and training on a higher plato.
The buzzword is "automation." While we are so engrossed in creating a process, procedure, and workflow, why not take some time to know the business back office operations? Create a niche and standarize them from assessment to deliverables. We all are at a crossroad on how to express interests, needs and pains, or even what questions to ask or where to look for answers. Ask for help, taking that step will get you closer to your goal. Invest in yourself.
2017 list is long, but one stands out from my to-do list is to create a certification course for advisors for the real estate and property management industry segmentation.
This year, we have accomplished two from our to-do list. We developed two new softwares approved by Intuit. The first is for property management "OMoney" calculates management fees, posts and write owner 's checks into QuickBooks and creates owner's reports in summary and detail to PDF.
The HammerZen app imports Home Depot receipts into QuickBooks Desktop and Online versions. Perfect for contractors, real estate investors and anyone who purchases at a Home Depot. You may ask why partial? We still need to get the word out and help everyone automate and save time and money.
