A couple decades ago when most of us got started, time and billing software was rather primitive stuff. Most of the advantage of using, say, Timeslips or a similar program was that it tied into the network and allowed the cost accountants to generate reports fairly easily that showed everyone's hours with cost and account breakdowns. But the software tended to be standalone stuff that didn't integrate well with many other products.

Fixed asset management software is a great tool that can help your clients manage their business and find other effective ways to save tax dollars. As a tax expert, you can appreciate (pun intended) the benefits to having your clients fixed assets updated monthly.

In the crazy days of the past decade, it has often been hard to separate old-school manual procedures from the cutting edge accounting requirements of the clients we serve today.

Software vendors rarely agree with each other. But these days, nonprofit solution providers can't help but share a common goal of moving their nonprofit clients to the cloud*. For many nonprofits as well as for many other organizations in our post-recession world, the cloud is seen as a way of simplifying IT support requirements, reducing costs, and enabling smaller (often remote) staffs to get more accomplished.
