Intuit will never proactively or unprompted call you to fix technical issues, report data corruption, or process payments. If you receive an unsolicited call claiming to be from Intuit, QuickBooks, or Merchant Services, it is a scam. Hang up immediately, as these fraudsters aim to steal data or gain remote access to your computer. How the Scam Works • Fake Tech Issues: Scammers claim your QuickBooks software is corrupted, out of storage, or blocked from receiving necessary server updates. • High-Pressure Tactics: They threaten immediate service interruption or loss of data to panic you into acting quickly. • Remote Access: They offer to "fix" the issue by having you download software or grant remote access to your computer. How to Protect Yourself Never grant access : Do not allow anyone to remotely control your computer unless you placed the call and verified their identity. Do not click links : Avoid clicking links or downloading attachments from unsolicited emails or pop-up messages. Verify : If you are unsure if a message is legitimate, do not call the number they provide. Instead, look up the official Intuit Support page and contact them directly. Report Fraud : Forward suspicious emails and report fake calls directly to the Intuit Online Security Center or email them to security@intuit.com.
We still have time before the Quarter Finals in the World Cup Tournament, but here are the Quarter Finalists of time saving processes for QuickBooks Online. Using “Receipts” app to upload your bills into QBO. This not only speeds up the process of entering bills into QBO, it also attaches a PDF of the bill in QBO for easy reference, creates greater accuracy by eliminating mistyping information, and increases consistency with coding to the correct GL account. Linking Bank and Credit Card accounts to QBO to utilize the “Bank Transactions” app. This saves time by matching items clearing the bank or credit card to your QBO account and offering suggestions on posting items clearing the bank or credit card which have not been entered in QBO yet. At the end of the month, the bank reconciliation is already done and just needs to be approved. Setting up vendors to be paid by ACH through QBO. Eliminate costs of stamp, paper, printer ink and time in paying bills. Recurring entries. Gain efficiency by setting up recurring entries for bills, invoices, and general journal entries that occur repeatedly. With any automation, human verification is essential. If you have any questions about any of these cost and time saving processes, please contact us for more information.
The weather is getting warmer and with that comes summer and seasonal hiring. As an employer you need to be prepared. You need the same information for a seasonal/summer employee that you do for a full-time employee. The forms and documentation you will need from your employees are as follows: W-4 (Employee’s Withholding Certificate) I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification) including acceptable documents (listed on form) to establish both identity and employee authorization Certificate of Residency Direct Deposit Authorization (if applicable) 4029 (Exemption from Social Security and Medicare Taxes) (if applicable) *Remember if you are hiring a high schooler age 14-17 you will also need a copy of their working papers. You also need to be familiar with the Child Labor Laws to determine permittable working hours and duties for individuals 17 years old and younger. These can be found on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s website here. Also, keep in mind the state minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. If you have more questions on summer and seasonal hiring, please contact our payroll department.

That’s understandable, so here’s a list of smaller projects you can work on now that will help you get ready for and make the most of your busiest time of year and beyond! • Put together an email list: Collect emails from current or past customers/clients you want to reach with email marketing.
