QuickBooks® Online (QBO) and QuickBooks® Desktop (QBD) are very powerful products if setup and used correctly. We can show you various hidden features as well as research and help install and setup any 3rd party applications that help you run and manage your business.
Learn MoreOur core service is bookkeeping. We provide this service using QuickBooks® desktop hosted in the cloud or QuickBooks® Online so the books can be accessed and worked on remotely by us and you. We are experts in all the current technologies that enable more efficient and effective bookkeeping to allow for accurate real-time financial reports.
Learn MoreConverting from another system to QuickBooks® can be a daunting task. There are no direct tools to do this automatically and in many cases the file sizes are very large. We can determine the best approach and work with you on getting that data imported correctly into QuickBooks®.
Learn MoreIn addition to basic QuickBooks® training on many of the features built-in to the desktop and online products, we offer custom training using your data and your business process.
Learn MoreWe are both QuickBooks® and accounting experts. We can review your file from an accounting perspective to ensure the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss and Statement of Cash Flows is accurate and setup correctly. We will look at trends in your profit and loss over time to see if revenue and expenses are being booked timely and consistently. From an actual file perspective, we will look at the size of the file, as well as features that are turned or, off or not being used.

There are many setup parameters to go through to enable a proper system for both reviewing history as well as projecting forward. We can help set up QuickBooks® properly from the start.

Mike Derrico
IT
I started my career in 1983 when I designed and built a device to share a computer program, written by the president of a local bank and his son, running on an Apple Lisa computer. The device allowed the large and expensive Lisa's computer to be shared with bank employees. With this program, and with my device, we started a company to market this unique solution to banks. At this point, computer networks were just starting to be used in businesses. I transitioned my efforts to providing support for migrating banking terminal/mainframe functions to the emerging Personal Computer networking platform. For the next decade, I worked with, and beta tested, numerous technologies to integrate the banking functions from dumb terminals into the now smart desktop computers. After working with a few small consulting firms, I started my own company focusing on providing I.T. support to SMBs. More recently I am now doing the exact opposite by helping customers migrate their PC applications and data from their local computers to The Cloud. A few years ago, I joined Siegel Solutions to add my years of I.T. experience to their firm.
In my spare time, I like to travel, fly my drone and, most importantly, spend time with my family. I also still enjoy tinkering with technology.
