    Be careful about implementing changes - people often have habits developed, and it's tough to change them. Don't do it unless it's absolutely necessary, make sure you get their consent, and train them thoroughly so they understand the new procedure.

    Get Back to What You Love and Increase Your Bottom Line With These Time Savers
    It’s the same old story. You don’t spend as much time together as you used to. You’re trying to get that “loving feeling” back, but, as usual, you’ve got too much on your plate. There are leads to follow, faxes to send and business trips to plan. It doesn’t leave room for mu
    The Problem

    At one of the accounting forums I visit, quickbooksgroup.com, somebody wrote to explain a problem she was having in her QuickBooks file. After some posts back and forth with her, I saw that it boiled down to some changes her accountant made to the file - procedural changes which seemed unnecessary to me, and which happened without the file owner's permission or understanding. I told her:

    "Send the file back [to your accountant] and explain that her changes don't work for your way of doing things. Tell her to put things back the way you had them. Also tell her not to change your procedures without first explaining the new way she wants it, and also getting your permission for the change. Am I being unreasonable? Aren't you the one paying her bill?"

    I understand that sometimes a change needs to be made in a QuickBooks file. I also understand that sometimes a change does not need to be made. Sometimes it's simply a preference issue - this means that one person likes it one way, one person likes it another way. Neither is wrong.

    Who's File Is It, Anyway?

    It seems that sometimes we, as accountants and bookkeepers, forget who owns the file. Clearly, the person who posted the question was just as unclear as her accountant. Had she been clear that it was her file, not the accountant's, she would have known what to do without asking.

    What To Do If Your File Has Been Changed

    Don't be intimitated - even though your accountant knows more about accounting, it's your file. Regardless if the change was necessary, you have a right to know about it before it happens. Be straightforward with your accountant, and explain that you must give permission before a procedural change is made. Also, if you don't understand the new procedure, insist on proper training.
