Denim jeans and Europe seem to be made for each other. The relationship goes back a long time. In fact the very word jeans come from a type of material that was named after sailors from Genoa in Italy. The word denim is from another French material serge de nimes.The end of the Second World War was the time when denim blue jeans gained new status in Europe. Rugged yet relaxing they stood for freedom and a great future. Both men and women wore them. In Europe the surplus Levi’s jeans left behind by American armed forces were now available in limited supplies. They were extremely popular with teens.The 60’s saw the coming in of slim jeans. They were extremely popular as l
When you first started your business, you probably did your own accounting; and that worked out fine. You were short on spendable capital and doing most of the necessary chores yourself was the only way to get started. But eventually, you got to a point where you really needed to concentrate on the income-producing aspects of your business and hire others to tend to the details.
Recognizing when this point occurs is the first major challenge for the entrepreneur. Many will pass it right by, believing the only way to keep track of their company is by doing all the accounting for it themselves. This is an easy trap to which almost everyone is susceptible. Don’t feel bad if it happened to you, just rectify it!
Think about what your time is worth. For example, as a lawyer, you could command in excess of $300 per hour. Does it really make sense for you to do your own accounting, when it could be done just as well, maybe even better, by someone you could pay $25 per hour? Of course not! You can still keep a close eye on your business accounting without doing it yourself. It just takes discipline and a good idea of what reports you need to see and how often. Then assign the detail work to someone else!

If you've been following our series on medical billing and more specifically, our series on electronic billing of claims using NSF 3.01 specifications, you have no doubt noticed that there are quite a few records involved with sending a claim to a carrier, whether it be Medicare, Medicaid, or a private insurance company. Well, before we go into explicit detail on the trailer record specifications themselves, a general overview on trailer records is probably in order. Why? Well, unfortunately, even if the individual claims in a submission are clean, meaning no errors or violations, a problem with any of the trailer records can get not just one, but ALL the claims rejected.Th

The Federal Trade Commission has set forth an agenda to revamp the Franchise Rule. Actually not revamp and get rid of the unnecessary over regulation and over disclosure, but to re-define it and pile on more minutia. The Federal Trade Commission ought to re-consider all these potential rule changes and advise from attorneys in the industry because such comments and advise are self serving and do not help consumers. Attorney firms might hire Federal Trade Commission staff in the future and therefore many see vast amounts of abuse of power and conflict of interest. Basically you cannot trust them anymore; the regulators today who will be attorneys in private practice tomorrow in a cons

The kind of job described above can be called different things in different companies. Some typical titles are bookkeeper, accounts payable or receivable clerk or billing clerk. To maintain consistency, we’ll call it an accounting assistant.
To hire a competent accounting assistant for your firm you can expect to pay between $15 and $25 per hour, depending on experience. Add to this the additional costs of employees – paid vacations, sick leave, insurance, bonuses, retirement, profit sharing plans, etc. You’ll probably find someone who wants to work 40 hours per week more easily than a part-timer, but that’s not impossible. At any rate, you’ll be locked in to paying for a certain minimum amount of hours no matter how much work there actually is.
The advantages, though, are also quite convincing. An employee will be more loyal to your company. He will also be more likely to take a permanent interest and perhaps make a career with you. He will learn more about your business and therefore be better able to make profitable recommendations for your company.
OUTSOURCE
On the other hand, you can outsource your daily accounting duties. There are several cost savings advantages to taking this route.
You won’t be paying for employer payroll tax expense, employee benefits and liability insurance. These costs will, of course, be built into the consultant’s fee, so it’s a wash at best. But you still save money, because you have no recruiting and interviewing costs and no training costs. And should you be unsatisfied with the service, there will be no additional recruiting, interviewing and training costs to replace your accounting assistant.
You will not have to worry about employee lawsuits. You can release an outsourced accounting assistant without raising your unemployment rates.
Most professional accounting assistants will have their own office space and will not need their own office or cubicle at your office, saving you the space and cost of desk, computer, software, office supplies, etc
