Dominic -I run a design build business; I've been where you are... having books that are weeks to months out of date is horrible and can spell disaster as you make decisions based on bad and untimely data.What we've done, after years of trial and error and tons of money lost on bad solutions, is the following -* Off set accountant who does monthly reconciliations and statements, year-end taxes (We run on basis of completion, which I recommend you switch to immediately)* Off site book keeper who does day to day data entry* Quickbooks on a server on the internet so everyone can log in remotely* Paychex handling weekly payrollDon't pay an accountant to do your data entry, it's usually way too expensive and not necessary... don't pay your data entry person to do your monthly reconciliations and statements (They don't know enough, typically).
