DATA TRANSFER
We can offer several ways to transfer data to us and back to you. We can use something as easy as a fax machine for you to send us your raw data and for us to fax back reports. We also offer secure file transfer for you upload your raw data to us and for us to transfer back the QuickBooks data file so that you can review data and reports yourself. There is also the option of using mail for transferring data or for those in the local area we can use a courier to make data pick-ups and drop-offs. Our preferred method of data transfer is secure file transfer as this means that your data is backed-up locally on your computer, locally on our computers, and nationally on our file transfer system. We are more than happy to work and teach you how each system will work.
