A Christmas Story |
December 2009 |
Lucy Lou was found wandering the streets of Sacramento in 110 degree August heat. The Good Samaritan who found her took her to the local shelter. The Sacramento Schipperke Rescue Group picked up the little dog they soon dubbed “Lucky”. They placed Lucky in a foster home and began her extensive medical recovery. They searched for two months to find her owner, with no success.
 They did, however, find that Lucky was a very loving little dog. She was very grateful to have a warm place to sleep and someone to care for her. Lucky found her way to the Queen via the rescue group, and upon her adoption was renamed “Lucy Lou.” She went from a scared, lonely dog, to a happy, attentive dog within weeks. She ran with abandon with her little left hind leg sticking out (a previous break that never healed properly?), and was eager to give and receive love, sit on your lap, and lick your hand. She was overjoyed to find that the Queen had young grandchildren to play with! She is now a happy, confident dog – brave and confident enough to sit on that strange man’s lap in the red suit and get her picture taken. What a wonderful time of year to reflect on how many generous, loving angels were out there to take Lucy from the streets to her new home. And Lucy has been an angel herself, bringing love and warm spirits back to the Queen, who had lost her beloved dog “Poncho” just a few months earlier. Blessings and joy abound! |
We wish you all a safe, warm, loving holiday season and a peaceful and prosperous New Year. There is still time to get your year-end accounting in order. Call the Queen at 415-925-1830 and find out how easy it can be. |

Is your paperwork piling up?
Were you unable to take a vacation this summer because the paperwork was piled up, or because you didn’t want to leave your business, even for a few weeks? We don’t always take the time we need to relax and rejuvenate, but the Queen of QuickBooks can help you get away.
Read on to find out how she helped one busy client enjoy his vacation this summer.
Meet Bob:
Bob owns a plumbing and heating business, and most of the time he manages the books himself. For a couple of weeks every year the business hums along nicely while Bob enjoys a well-deserved vacation, knowing all is under control back at the fort. He returns refreshed and ready to dive in to work … but it wasn’t always this easy.
Bob had a problem:
Keeping the accounting books up-to-date was complicated and time-consuming. Bob wasn’t even sure he was doing it right, because the hours his laborers reported never seemed to match up with the hours he invoiced for a job. When he did leave, things really fell through the cracks.
Then Bob called the Queen of QuickBooks.
The Queen helped Bob set up his QuickBooks correctly with labor allocation, job costing, and integrated payroll. Once the accounting was set up correctly, all Bob had to do was enter the hours and what job they were for. The Queen made it easy to determine job costs, prepare invoices, and accurately process payroll—all with a few keystrokes.
Now Bob can do it himself, quickly and accurately. And when vacation time rolls around, one of the Queen’s Royal Bookkeepers steps in to keep things running smoothly.
The Queen’s Bookkeepers work while you relax.
Did you know there’s no vacation in the Land of Accounting? That’s right: The Queen’s specially trained Royal SWAT Team rotates their vacations, so someone is always available to help keep your business running by paying the bills, processing accounts receivable, making deposits, keeping your accounting records up to date, and making sure the payroll checks go out—even if you’re not around.
Would you like to be sitting in Bob’s chair?
Bob was able to enjoy his time off because he planned ahead, got his records in order, and made arrangements for vacation coverage. You can use the same cost-effective strategy. Whether you’re considering a vacation or beginning your year-end tax planning, you’ll rest easier knowing the Queen has set up your company file correctly.
Free consultation…
Call (415) 925-1830 for a free consultation with the Queen herself. She will ask about the specifics of your business and help you determine whether one of the Royal Bookkeepers could be helping you or if direct training for your bookkeeping staff would be the most effective.

Who’s on your Team?
We’re well into summer, but I’m not talking baseball here. I’m referring to the teams we all need to help manage our businesses. Your team members may include a tax accountant, a banker, an attorney, and other professionals.
You don’t need these people on your payroll full-time, but you do
need to use their services on a regular or occasional basis.
It’s important to get the right team members working for you, because the better your team is, the better your business will be. So, who’s on your team? Do you have all the right players in place?

It’s half past 2009—Do you know where your money is?
In these challenging economic times, it’s more important than ever to manage your money well. With your bookkeeping in order, you can answer crucial questions like:
- How much money do I have?
- Which products and services give me the highest profit?
- Which jobs am I spending too much time on with little return?
- Where am I losing money?
- How can I manage money strategically to maximize my cash flow?
There is still time to get your 2009 bookkeeping records into good shape, (more…)
Make your Year End appointment with the Queen:
- Prepare for the inevitable tax crunch now. Before the end of January it is important to review your existing 2008 data with the Queen to make sure all is in order for your tax preparer.
- 1099s are due at the end of January. Make sure you are reconciled and all paid amounts are accurate. These have to be sent out by January 31, and making corrections after that is problematic and expensive.
- April 15th is not your tax deadline. Your tax preparer will want your complete and accurate file by no later than March 1, and maybe sooner.
- January appointments are already filling up—book your appointment now. The Queen will review completed files for accuracy and compliancy, or do the cleanup and past due data input necessary to get it corrected.
