Our Cloud Desktop

Action Items

Action Items is our Inbox where we store all of our work in process.
 
We gather statements, logs, and reports from financial institutions, payroll companies, point of sale systems, and inventory management programs and store them here until reconciliations are completed.
 
Anything that is in the Action Items is waiting to be posted, verified and/or filed.
 
You will find your unpaid vendor bills here waiting to be paid in the next scheduled check run.
 
After the work is done these financial documents are moved into your Filing Cabinet.

To get started, we need to gather some critical information about our client, YOU.

This is a quick reference for you and your CPA.
 
Open the Status Report to find out when you signed up for services, what service plan you are on, what clean-up / catch-up is in progress, and which items still need attention.

We also send an email to your CPA to let them know.
