  Intuit has its head in the clouds this week as it publicly announces a new hosting program for QuickBooks, allowing QuickBooks professionals to host their clients' software and data files. This month we also have several useful tips to share with you. These tips, written by QuickBooks experts, are designed to help you make the most of your QuickBooks experience. As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions.

| QuickBooks Desktops in the Cloud |
 The term "Cloud Computing" is most frequently used as another way to refer to outsourced information technology management - the servers, the applications, and the data are located and managed at a location other than your own - usually by a commercial service provider. "Cloud" solutions are accessed via the Internet, rather than being installed on your own computer. InsynQ offers cloud computing options for QuickBooks Pro, Premier and Enterprise, giving you the benefits of managed systems and anytime, anywhere to business applications and data. Visit www.cpaasp.com to get more information. |

| Why your client's sales amounts in QuickBooks are probably wrong |
| QuickBooks reports are largely based on two different lists – Accounts and Items.
