Money Saving Tip When Mailing Accounting Paperwork
I’ve learned a few tricks I want to share about saving money when mailing paperwork to clients.
Especially at year-end I mail paperwork often. Here are my tricks.
First is to always use a Priority Mail Box, as pictured here. It's not only
faster but safer. I've never had a Priority Mail package lost.
Next, is to save money by using the Priority Mail box that does NOT say “Flat Rate” to save money. These boxes are harder to find so when I do find them, I stock up for the year.
Top Picture Box One: This box Priority Mail Flat Rate costs $18.40. See how it says "Flat Rate" on the box? That's your clue that you'll pay more.
Bottom Picture Box Two. (The picture that does not exist here because I cannot find one online) Seems as if the post office seems to want to keep a secret. It is different from Box One in one important way. It does NOT say "Flat Rate". It says nothing. Look for a blank area. That means it's by weight only. By weight has never cost me or the client more than $12.80, often closer to $10. If you’re mailing accounting paperwork, use the Priority box that's by weight only to save money.
Radically Simple Accounting & Small Projects
After sitting at a computer for work, I love getting outdoors and doing landscaping in my free time. Mostly I am transforming my own small yard/garden but I also volunteer to improve my church and the Issaquah post office landscaping.
After this year's Woodinville
Garden Tour, I came away both disappointed enough in my own real estate/garden situation to cry at my next therapy session and inspired enough to get back to
work on the yard/garden I do have to finish this summer's
project.
Every week I
visit the library to pick up this week's books on
hold that have finally come in. This week I am enjoying the perfect book
titled, "Big Dreams, Small Garden". The book is about.... wait for
it...."creating the garden you love when you can't afford the one you
want". Synchronicity?
Books are important. It's
important to me that I wrote a book in my area of expertise titled, "Radically Simple Accounting". Out of blue I’ll
get an email from a reader about how much they appreciate my book, and how it
helps them. I don’t have the budget to promote my book the way I’d like so
the number of readers is small, as are my number of reviews. However, the
reviews are mostly 5-star positive on the print book, 4-star positive on the audiobook. Readers say that it's a book worth reading or listening to.
It was important to me to
contribute to the world of accounting just as it was important to her to
contribute to the world of gardening. And I'm grateful for both.
Is QuickBooks Desktop being Discontinued?
There is a rumor going around that QuickBooks Desktop is being discontinued. The rumor is that if you want to stay with QuickBooks you have to move to QuickBooks Online.
This is 100% not true. QuickBooks Desktop has a huge following so you don’t have to worry about it going away.
If you prefer QuickBooks Desktop but want remote access capability, you can get it by getting your QuickBooks hosted. To explain what hosting is, and where you can purchase that service I've included information and a link in my free white paper titled, Remote Access Options For QuickBooks.
To get to the white paper, go to my website -> Public Relations -> Free Download. I’ll put a live link here: Remote Access Options for QuickBooks
I personally prefer QuickBooks Enterprise (Desktop) software but support both versions. Clients who have been with Quickbooks Desktop for years are staying with it. Newer clients to QuickBooks tend to go with QuickBooks Online so I know and support both.
