Because there are millions using the cloud right now

Wonder if there's any sales stats kicking around. I personally know a lot of older people that won't use the cloud and more that won't use it for security purposes.

For security reasons then

They don't use email or online bill payments or even online shopping

Or have any accounts like water bills electric bills credit cards checking accounts Facebook
iPhone or android phones Ipad set up for online access

You can live like that it is hard to do now tho not impossible

I would have a hard time not having a email addresses

Because any thing In your emails is available to the email provider

And don't forget about credit cards and debt cards can't have them they are one of the biggest security risk that there is

They are all available online through their filings since it's a public company.

Well it looks like they lost $50 million on the desktop in 2015 over 2014, but still did $709 million in sales.

QBO grew 57%, payroll 18%

However QB Enterprise Solutions grew 29%

I just signed up for the free housecall pro this weekend and just started messing around with it. I charged my own credit card 5.00 as a test, and created a $5 invoice for myself in quick books. Now when that charge for $4 and change appears in my bank how do I reconcile that? I will call them now and ask before I upgrade, I don't want to knock them because I don't know enough about the quickbooks sync to judge just yet.

Just an update, reconciling the deposits has been no problem. House call has already created a cc processing fee account which is easy enough to assign the fees to. Overall I'm enjoying the service, my favorite part is the reminder emails the day before that I have set up per recommendation of someone else on here, customers have been better prepared for us. And the follow up email has really been great for getting Google reviews.

Great to hear grout guy! I'm loving it also! Another I do besides the email reminder the day before and the email the day after for reviews is to send a postcard a week after offering 20$ for anyone they give the card to. I tell them on the card they can even take a pic and send to their friends and we promise to take real good care of them. Just an idea of ya

Good to hear. Yeah if you ask for reviews via the email automation and also the postcard automation your reviews are going to go through the roof!

That's a brilliant idea - love the send a pic idea because it makes it shareable more than once and has a viral effect to it!

There is a way to reconcile in QB, you put in the total balance, but before you submit there is an options to remove money and code it to credit card processing, this way the invoice shows the total rcvd, but the bank rec, shows the money recvd. Then your P&L shows all your credit card processing fees.

Housecall fixed that issue so the integration is now flawless, everything goes where it needs to without me doing anything. I did have to bump up to the next level of QBO though, just a couple more bucks but so worth it.

Everyone better jump on the Tmf discount because it's ending in a couple days of 30% off for life and will never be available again. You will be grandfathered in, no other place has this high of a discount. Www.tryhousecall.com/TMF
