One of the real strengths of SmartBooks is our use of technology to make bookkeeping faster, more accu- rate, more responsive and more accessible. At the heart of the SmartBooks system is QuickBooks - the same QuickBooks that helps hundreds of thousands of companies manage their finances, but accessed online rather than from local computers and servers. Among other tools, SmartBooks also utilizes an online Accounts Payable system that makes managing and paying your bills fast, simple and almost paper- less. In our judgment, the SmartBooks model will become the norm in the years to come as organizations look to streamline and improve the quality of their bookkeeping.
