\"woman<\/a>are you losing time every day?

\ncall me before you do anything: the art of accounting<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

i\u2019ve written about my introduction to quickbooks and how we took our entire staff to a training course for it.<\/p>\n

more:<\/b> i used to hate quickbooks<\/a> | 26 value-added benefits clients need to know<\/a> | how an out-of-work tax preparer \u2018saved\u2019 our lives<\/a> | i always want to be \u2019the other guy\u2019s accountant\u2019<\/a> | learning from lee iacocca et al.<\/a> | i lost a client to an accounting firm with cheaper fees<\/a>
\n\"goprocpa.com\"exclusively for pro members. <\/span><\/strong>log in here<\/a> or 2022世界杯足球排名 today<\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

today i am writing about training for the most basic software we use: excel, word and adobe. we have taken our staff to courses for these programs and have periodic in-house training, but i realize many firms do not.
\n
\nsubstantial investments are made in technology, including the hardware, software, portals, use of the cloud and security. these are easily measurable costs because they are purchased or contracted for. a measurable loss occurs when there is downtime if the software or systems are not performing. however, unmeasured costs because of underperforming or underutilized technology could actually be greater and are sometimes given a short rein in favor of the chargeable hour.<\/p>\n

technical and internal systems software needs to be learned because they are used interactively with other staff. when someone isn\u2019t using them properly, others quickly notice and let the person know pretty fast.<\/p>\n

basic software such as word, excel and adobe are used individually. other employees are not directly affected if the programs are not used properly so there is no peer checking when they are not used well. the only thing that drives proper usage is each person\u2019s desire to do things as easily and effectively as possible. those who don\u2019t think like this are really not the type of people most firms would want working for them. i know i think like this. do you?<\/p>\n

if what i just said was true, it is a sad commentary on many of us. because the use is continuous and daily and the misuse is in small doses, a great time loss occurs stealthily without anyone doing something to stop it.<\/p>\n

two solutions to end underutilization are 1) short 20-minute one-on-one walkthroughs in small groups or 2) a series of one-hour courses organized internally or with an outside instructor.<\/p>\n

these should be supplemented by a go-to person who is thoroughly familiar with the software and can address any questions. this go-to person could be from the it or administrative department or an accountant more experienced with that software. doing one or both of these has a cost, but there is much greater payback because it more effectively uses each person\u2019s time. training cannot occur until there is awareness of the need and the determination and effort to get it right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
