Access your bookkeeping anytime anywhere
Advantage of using Margaret Benson's online accounting service
As your accounting firm, we are able to manage or troubleshoot your problems quickly. The expense and time needed for you to make a backup copy of your data base, and then stop doing your data entry until you get your backup back is over with our Online Accounting System. We are able to answer questions and walk you through problems as they happen.
We use a two level authentication process, to ensure world class data security. The Backups are 100% automatic. Your files are backed up 4 times daily, and your information is stored in a secure data center in Silicon Valley. Those servers are then backed up daily to a second secure data center offsite location. There is no application data stored on your laptop or on your office server. So your data is secure from fire, theft, storms, floods, or hard drive failures (Every week 140,000 hard drives crash in the USA). Backing up data on CDs or external hard drives can eat up a lot of time. And there is still a chance that your backups can be lost, stolen or destroyed.
Citrix Hosting
Access to applications through Citrix provides a faster, more reliable connection than using Microsoft Terminal Services. The hardware you use to access your information no longer determines the speed of working on your applications; the constraining factor is now the speed of your internet connection.
