Common Sense Solutions to Outsourcing Accounting Software and IT Infrastructure

While outsourcing IT is not new by any means, many professionals still have numerous concerns around the security, privacy and protection of data. And while we don’t live in a perfect world, there are a number of technology solutions available for CPA firms and companies that want to outsource their systems and ensure they are safely maintained. To find out how this works and what kinds of steps providers take meet these needs, Accounting Software 411 discussed these issues with a knowledgeable industry expert.




Ideas in Motion: Paul Eisenberg: Super Sleuth of Collections

If you ask any CPA what the most favorite part of his or her business is, perhaps the very last words you’ll be likely to hear is something about collecting unpaid debt. However, ask CPA Paul Eisenberg that same question, and the answer would be inversely proportional to the majority of the accounting profession. This is because Paul carries with him another designation that is becoming more common to the accounting profession, CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner). The profession is also highly dependent on technology as we learned in our interview with Mr. Eisenberg.


Ideas in Motion is a monthly column designed to focus on best practices within CPA firms and organizations involved in providing technology related services.
