A. Offsite support is the traditional option where you provide me with your financial documents, I record your transactions, reconcile your checkbook, make any adjusting entries, then produce a set of financial statements for your use. This option is great if the volume of your financial transactions is rather low, you don't have a need for very timely financial statements, and your main goal is tax compliance.

B. Onsite support is another traditional option where I would periodically visit your place of business and perform agreed upon accounting tasks. This can range from a few hours each month to several hours each week, depending upon your needs. This option is great if you have more complex and timely transactions, and would like a little more than what you would get from the offsite support option.

C. Remote support is a newer, more technologically advanced option that is my signature service. In a nutshell, I would periodically access your computer remotely from my office and perform the agreed upon accounting tasks. It is a lower cost and more efficient version of onsite support, and uses some very exciting collaborative networking tools that are now available. Furthermore, you can use these very same tools yourself, if you'd like to periodically access your computer at work from, say, home, or from another location. Most of my clients prefer this option, and I almost always recommend it over the other two, because it is more timely than the first option, and much less expensive than the second. The only prerequisite you will need is a broadband Internet connection, which many businesses have these days.
