“Peter DeSmidt of DeSmidt Consulting Inc. has been extremely useful with his knowledge and expertise in the area of managerial Accounting.  His solid understanding of our Accounting software system has helped keep our company going strong in these hard economic times.  We would highly recommend him as a reliable addition to your business consultant staff.”

Stuart W.

“Peter DeSmidt of DeSmidt Consulting Inc. provided services to us for a period of 5 years.  He has performed all tasks in an efficient and cost effective manner and has always met required timelines and accuracy expected from a professional service provider.”

Ivan B.

“Peter DeSmidt has provided Accounting services to us, on a part time contract basis since 1997.  Peter’s strengths include his ability to work with limited supervision, to multi task at an organized and detailed level, to perform research at a comprehensive and thorough level, and to be able to see a project through to completion and on time.  We appreciate the services he provides to us.”

Dan G.

“Peter DeSmidt has provided Accounting services to us, on a periodic basis, since 2000.  We find Peter to be a reliable, highly organized and detailed oriented Accountant.  His primary role as a subcontractor, to our company, was the gathering and analysis of financial data, journal entries, and the preparation of our monthly financial statements.  We anticipate using his skills again in the future as the need arises.”

Richard B.

“Peter DeSmidt has been a consultant to us since 1999.  We utilized his services often and he was particularly invaluable during our crunch periods.  Through his extensive experience, Peter has demonstrated strong analytical skills coupled with a strong knowledge of overall Accounting procedures.  He learns quickly, and pays exceptional attention to detail.  I recommend Peter’s services to any firm that desires a seasoned Accountant who can make a significant contribution.”

Cynthia F.

“Peter DeSmidt of DeSmidt Consulting Inc. sold us our Accounting software upgrade.  He installed the software, did file conversions, set up multi companies and has provided us with telephone, as well as, onsite support.  The software is working very well and he appears to have a very good knowledge about our system.  We appreciate what he has done for us and will continue use of his services in the future.”

Shirley A.

“I want to take the time to thank you for all of your help over the past weeks.  It has been quite a strain to get all of our computers to function properly after the software upgrade, but with your help it has been easier.  I cannot thank you enough for your courteous manner and quick response to our every question and difficulty.”

Beth D.

“Last year we recognized a need to upgrade our Accounting and management information systems.  Based on your recommendations, which were endorsed by our Accounting firm, we implemented the new software and hardware.  We have been extremely pleased with the results.  The system performs as planned and fully meets our needs.  There have been things which we had to learn which only served to confirm the value of your assistance.  You took each item and quickly provided an explanation or solution that worked in every case.  Your being available, listening carefully and thinking through each question made the system implementation a real pleasure despite the work.  We really know you were part of our team.  We look forward to a continuing relationship with DeSmidt Consulting Inc. whenever we need professional help in computer hardware, software, Accounting or management information systems.”

Josiah B.

“Peter DeSmidt of DeSmidt Consulting Inc. sold us our integrated Accounting software.  He installed the software and has provided us with requested training and periodic Accounting and systems services.  Before, we were using an outside Accounting firm to prepare our monthly financial statements.  Through his efforts, he produces our financial statements internally, by our requested completion dates.  With this we have saved hundreds of dollars per month and our statements are available approximately ten days sooner that before.  We appreciate what he has done for us.“

Michael S.

“This is a note of thanks for all of your help over the past 18 months.  We would never have been able to implement our computer Accounting system without your help or being able to consistently produce reliable and timely financial statements.  I am an entrepreneur, without an extensive accounting staff and you have provided me with an invaluable service at a very fair price.  I will be happy to recommend your company’s service to other small business owners.”

Jim B.

“Peter DeSmidt of DeSmidt Consulting Inc. sold us our Accounting software.  He installed the software and has provided us with requested training and periodic Accounting and systems services.  The software is working very well and he has a very good working knowledge level about the software.  Through his efforts, and in conjunction with our software, he produces our financial statements internally.  We appreciate what he has done for us and I would recommend his services to any small business that is seeking to automate their Accounting function.”

J. T. L.

“Peter DeSmidt installed, implemented and set up our financial reports on our software Accounting system.  Through his efforts, he has saved us thousands of dollars per month in Accounting time and we are able to produce our financial statements weeks earlier than we were able to do with our previous system.  We appreciate what he has done for us.”

Advantages of outsourcing your Accounting utilizing your QuickBooks or Peachtree

August 23, 2009 at 5:30 pm

 

Your small and medium-sized company is often not in a position to hire a full-time bookkeeper or an accountant.  Your company would benefit the most from the expertise of an experienced Accountant or Controller.

We let your bookkeeper do their work and perform their duties, using QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Pro or Peachtree or ePeachtree then we perform the Accounting and Controller duties.  We can take responsibility for the financial side of your business, or we can function purely as your part-time Accountant and Controller, managing your existing accounting and bookkeeping staff. Every business and situation is different.  We can work with your accounting and bookkeeping staff, attorneys, bankers, insurance brokers and tax preparers at a fraction of the cost of a full time employee.  We are seasoned professionals and have the experience, expertise, education and qualifications to be your virtual / on-going Accountant or Controller.

As you may be aware, one third of new small businesses fail in the first two years and one half fail within four years.  Poor financial management is the main reason most small businesses become failures. Often business owners want to maintain complete control of their business or they are afraid that outsourcing the bookkeeping and accounting functions would be too expensive, or both.

You need to realize that outsourcing the bookkeeping and accounting functions can save you both time and money. This will also allow you to focus more on your business, and would give your small business a better chance at survival.

The Benefits of Outsourcing Your Bookkeeping and Accounting using QuickBooks or Peachtree include:

            Lowering your costs and increasing the quality of your staff.

            Reducing your overhead, headaches and worries.

            Allowing you to focus on what you do best – managing your company.

            Saving your company time and effort.

            Adding a wealth of knowledge and experience.

            Allowing you to gain access to extensive additional capabilities and services.

            Building a more efficient bookkeeping staff.

            Allowing you to take advantage of the latest technology.

You, or your staff, can perform payroll, billing, invoicing, collecting, payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank transactions, bank reconciliations, inventory control, etc.

We can then perform, all or in part:

*Monthly Accounting and Controller Services

*Accounts Payable and Receivable Management
