We are very close to having moved our company (SensorMed) over to Quickbooks. However, there are a few items that we can't quite figure out. Are there any Quickbooks experts out there? Based on the hours we have already put into it, iI think it would only take another hour or so to finish things up. If anyone knows of a Quickbooks guru, please let us know.

Thanks,

They have an on-line resume publishing service. However, I don't know how good it really is - just something to try.

I highly recommend Tech2020 Learning and Networking events for technical entrepreneurs (and those that support us). I have always found these events to be worth my time (and time is our most valuable asset). I have utilized their services for 3+ years. Let me know if you have any questions about their programs.
