Tax season turns taxing for CPAs themselves as larger amount of work has to be managed in the most efficient and error free manner as possible. Time, IT infrastructure and the top of all the human resources have to be, not only managed but ensured that customer are satisfied by the service being offered. Some suggestions regarding these are:

Use outsourced manpower: Using outsourced manpower during peak season may be better than to have full time regular workers, who cost more and may need to be trained. Getting a well trained workforce with required skills that can start the work right from the word go saves a lot of cost and get the things done in time. The only caution: Quality check.

Have software application Hosted: Small business use different types of application such as accounting application, CRM software and Tax applications. Hosting accounting application such as QuickBooks, MyOb , and tax software such as Lacerte and Proseries is an excellent way to use Cloud computing technologies for business growth. For example QuickBooks hosting allows anytime anywhere access to accounting files makes collaboration among multiple users possible and comes with multiple data backup which is more secured compared to local data backup. On the top of it you get 24×7x365 technical help desk support. Not only can you manage the business better you are better placed to use outsourced workforce in a more productive way.

CRM hosting: Just like QuickBooks and tax application hosting, use of CRM software is an excellent way of managing and responding to customers in a more efficient way. One may go for CRM software hosting as well. The best CRM i have identified is ACT! By Sage CRM hosting.

Social networking: Social networking is an excellent tool to know about the latest business trends, make friends online and recruit cheap and efficient workers. Use it to increase your business as well. Nothing promotes your business better than social networking.

Business evaluation:
Do not forget to evaluate your business model from time to time and setting new goals. Aimless business growth may be straining to the business. So, keeping a tab on business growth, forecasting future growth is an essential component of today’s business environment.

Re: Best ways to enhance business productivity for small Business

Hello
Okay, so let's learn how to maximize our business productivity. Productivity is a hot topic right now because most of us can't figure out how to get it or achieve it or create it. We're deluged by more communication and more distraction and interruption. We've got more to do than ever, and somehow, it feels like we're slogging along and just can't get anything done. And yet, we know if we can be more productive in business that that's where all the rewards are because that's how we create more financial security and more monetary success. To me, business productivity comes down to a few key issues, and here they are.

No. 1) Minimizing and eliminating distraction and interruption.
No. 2) Focusing on the high value activities.
And No. 3) Creating habits and routines so that we do the right things every day.

So let's take these in order. No. 1) Distraction and interruption. Distraction and interruption are probably the biggest robbers in this day and age. In other words, they're the things that steal the most money, time, energy, quality of relationship from us.

We don't even notice it. We get distracted. We get interrupted. We also multi-task a lot, which is actually kind of self-imposed distraction and interruption. It turns out that when you focus on one thing for an extended period of time that you get a lot more done. I mean dramatically more done than if you are distracted and interrupted. I like to imagine - you know, I live here in Los Angeles, and let's say I wanted to drive down to San Diego. It might be 100 miles or so from where I live in San Diego. Now, I can drive out and get on the freeway, and I can drive straight to San Diego, 100 miles. It'll probably take me, with traffic, something like an hour and a half, maybe two hours driving at a leisurely pace.

Re: Best ways to enhance business productivity for small Business

Hello
he typical small business often spends a great deal more time than they realize attempting to answer calls, return calls, transfer calls, check messages, etc. Without the help of intuitive small business PBX systems, employees often try to juggle the process by keeping notes regarding the times of day the people they frequently call are available, writing paper notes or sending emails to return calls, or asking the caller to hang up and try their party’s direct line.

Not only does the process feel ‘choppy’ to the client, but also trying to juggle the call load can become quite confusing! Even if employees and associates set regular phone hours, they are often on other calls or away from their desks throughout the day. Advanced small business PBX systems include software that allows a receptionist to see on a computer screen whether or not a line is busy. The receptionist can then ask the caller if he or she would like to hold or be transferred to voice mail.

If a caller does leave a message, some of the more advanced small business PBX systems will even send the recipient and email with an audio file attached that can be opened and listened to online. Busy executives often don’t have the time to call in and check voicemail. Opening an audio file from email is not only fast, but the email itself becomes a ‘to do’ item that must be handled like other emails.
