What Accounting Services Software does SOAIS work with?

We utilize QuickBooks for our offshore accounting services, however we are open to using any software which client insists on and is feasible for use in an outsourcing arrangement.

How can I Monitor My Bookkeeping in India?

Your data shall be posted in our shared server with stringent security measures. You can spot incorrect practices and quickly rectify them at their source. You can check the complete history of any activity. You can also check all the activities – accounting, editing, access etc using an audit trail for each transaction. You can control who gets access to your books and what they can see and do.

Does my location make a difference?

No, not at all. The system gives both your employees and those of the service provider simultaneous access to real-time accounted data. So it does not matter where you are as everyone can log in together. You won't have to buy software or maintain a complicated network or server, which naturally helps you save both time and money.

What are Some Other Advantages of Using QuickBooks Online?

Several actually. Upgrading is easy and seamless as compared to the usual software upgrade process. There are no hassles with older versions and legacy issues. Our quickbooks team in India will always use the same up-to-date version as all our clients. Hence, there will be no impact to the user as QuickBooks is upgraded. You can use a single, secure login to access multiple company subscriptions and at the same time have differing permission levels per company. Also, the QuickBooks Online Edition currently has no limit on the number of simultaneous users. You can track everything because the always-on audit trail is available for inspection 24X7 and captures every user's every edit.

How much effort is involved in Outsourcing QuickBooks Accounting Services to India?

Very little paper information needs to be transferred overseas. We strive to set up a "Paperless office" that will be safe and secure. However, some documents may need to be scanned, faxed, or mailed to India.

What Special Training and Knowledge is required?

Our staff in India is well versed with QuickBooks and can take up the assignment on a priority basis if desired. However should you choose any other accounting software to maintain your books of accounts, then our staff will have to be trained separately for such specific requirement.

What about Online Security and Security at your Office in India?

No one can see your data online unless you allow them to. QuickBooks Online Edition encodes your transmissions with secure encryption. The facility in India has restricted access to the building and each employee has restricted access to your files and documents. All employees undergo a screening process and sign confidentiality agreements.

With the accelerating globalization of the Information Technology (IT) solutions the paradigm of Outsourcing has become the media's punching bag du jour. The myriad advantages of the concept gratify this popularity. So what exactly does this term signify and how does it aid organizations in achieving quantifiable goals?

Simply put, outsourcing is an option for managing internal tasks. A staffing tool, outsourcing is an arrangement whereby an organization contracts with another organization to perform tasks or functions traditionally handled by internal staff.

So how does it benefit an organization?

Outsourcing gives tremendous help to companies to concentrate more on the core areas of their business. The most important factor behind the growth of this market worldwide is an increase in the number of enterprises that are reviewing their internal operations in an attempt to fully understand their core competencies and in the process they are able to focus more on their core competencies. Process outsourcing gives more freedom to the organization to focus more time, energy and resources on building the companies core business.

Offshoring, a subset of outsourcing allows organizations to transfer their internal processes to countries like India , which aids them in bringing down costs attributable to labor arbitrage
