What’s Standing in Your Way?
From: “Access to Access” and Seth Godin’s Blog
What’s standing in your way? What would help you start and ship and create something of value?
Access to ideas is easier than ever before. You can see over the shoulders of the great leaders in every industry, instantly and for free.
Access to tools is easier too. Every digital tool in the world is easily available, often for free.
Access to markets? The internet brings every market segment into clear view and lowers the cost of reaching it.
Access to capital? It’s never been easier to find funding for an idea that’s enabled by the efficiencies the web creates.
Alas, the only access that’s harder than ever is access to the part of your brain that’s willing to take advantage of all of this. Precisely because it’s easier and faster than ever before, it’s easy to be afraid to reach out, to connect and to commit. No one can help you with that but you.

What is the Sage Peachtree Internal Accounting Review?
From: “What is the Internal Accounting Review?” at Peachtree.com
The Internal Accounting Review is a tool that allows you to run an internal audit on your Sage Peachtree company data. It looks for common transaction mistakes and potentially fraudulent activity by running a series of up to 15 checks against your company data. If transactions are found, they are listed under the appropriate Internal Accounting Review check name for your review. You then have the opportunity to take the appropriate action on each transaction.
These checks represent common transaction mistakes and/or conditions that might be revealed in an external audit. While this review is not exhaustive, it is intended to help you identify, investigate, and if necessary, correct issues that may be problems. Here’s what we look for:
1. Purchases or bills that don’t credit an accounts payable account
2. Sales or invoices that don’t debit an accounts receivable account
3. Payments or checks that don’t credit a cash account
4. Receipts or money received that doesn’t debit a cash account
5. Transactions that debit and credit the same general ledger account
6. Possible duplicate transactions of the same type
7. Vendor invoices or bills from prior periods that have not been received
8. Transactions entered in the future
9. Transactions posted to inactive records
10. Un-reconciled cash accounts
11. Inventory items that default to duplicate general ledger accounts
12. Out of sequence checks
13. Accounts receivable accounts that are out of balance with the aged receivables report
14. Accounts payable accounts that are out of balance with the aged payables report
15. Possible duplicate paychecks for an employee within a pay period

From: “Go Mobile! QR Codes for Your Business” and The Sage Peachtree Insider
(Scan this QR Code for a Free Offer from 121 Business Software Consulting)
You see them everywhere these days, those funny little black-and-white squares filled with squiggles. They’re showing up on brochures, magazine ads, store shelves, and on the web. But exactly what are they and what are they for? Initially used to electronically track inventory, QR codes, short for Quick Response Codes, are fast growing marketing tool that links smartphone users to additional product information, special offers or videos on the web.
One of the best examples of a successful QR marketing campaign is at GNC stores. There’s a QR code in their front window with a sign that says “The most phenomenal thing you’ll do all day.” Smartphone users can scan the code and immediately download a message rewarding them with a free drink inside the store. It’s a very smart and fun way to drive more store traffic.
Want to try it for your business? It’s easier than you think. There are several sites that help you quickly and easily genrate your own QR code. You’ll need a most important thing to remember is to build in a compelling offer. If consumers go to the trouble to scan your QR code, they should receive something good in return.
Use a “barcode scanner” app on your mobile phone to test out the QR Code shown above.

Why Pick Sage Peachtree?
By Suzy Payne Rabb
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked to discuss the differences between Sage Peachtree and Quickbooks or other small business entry-level accounting solution. It’s also a topic I see discussed over and over in various forums. Needs vary business to business, industry to industry. What you pick should be determined by your needs. Here are a few reasons why I picked Sage Peachtree:
Inventory
Sage Peachtree has a more sophisticated inventory system than most other entry level solutions. It provides true and accurate FIFO costing and also provides serialized inventory features at the Premium and Quantum levels. Set-up of assemblies is easy and revisions are allowed. When set-up correctly, the automatic costing is flawless.
Built-in Financial Statement Designer
A lot of users don’t use or even know about one of my favorite features–the Financial Statement Designer. This designer is built right into the core product and can deliver practically any format desired. We’ve been able to emulate some very high-end financial reporting systems, even adding some key performance indicator stats to customized formats.
Flexible Controls
You can setup Sage Peachtree to allow changes in prior periods or you can set it up to block any change to a prior period transaction by user. I work with all kinds of users. There are some users who definitely need and want this level of control. But, there are others who don’t. If you are the owner, the accountant and the only user, sometimes too much control can cause more problems than it solves. With Sage Peachtree, I can deliver either.
Incredible Cash Flow Analysis Tool
This feature was significantly enhanced several versions ago and now it is awesome. You can forecast cash flow from actual due dates or historical average days to pay on outstanding AR, AP. But, what you may not know is that you can optionally add or remove anticipated cash flows from recorded sales orders and purchase orders. At last look at the competition, Sage Peachtree’s Cash Flow Analysis was head and shoulders ahead of competing solutions.
Voiding Checks
All companies have to void checks from time to time. Voiding a check should not change a prior period’s financials and with Sage Peachtree, it doesn’t. Sage Peachtree does not touch the original check transaction, but instead prompts for a “void date” and creates a new reversing transaction on the date specified. Why would you want it to work any other way? At last check, voiding a check in Quickbooks changed the prior period financials. While you may think check voiding is a minor feature, you should avoid use of any feature that changes prior period financials.
These are some of the reasons I picked Sage Peachtree several years ago and stay with it today. In the coming months I will share more.
