There is no extra charge for multiple QuickBooks files. With the Swizznet QuickBooks hosting and online accounting system each user account can have as many QuickBooks files up on the system as they need. We do not monitor the quantity of QuickBooks files you have uploaded on the system and many accountants put all of their QuickBooks files up on the system so that they can take advantage of the continuous off-site back up, security and the ability to access it from anywhere. Our pricing is per user account and is not based on how many QuickBooks files you store on our system.

With Swizznet QuickBooks hosting we provide secure multi-user access so you and your users can be working in the same file at the same time. If you're using QuickBooks Pro or Premier you may have three to five user accounts accessing one QuickBooks file at any one time. In Enterprise you can have up to 30 user accounts accessing one QuickBooks file at any one time. These numbers are based on the software limitations within QuickBooks.

Our QuickBooks hosting and online accounting system gives you more tools, faster speed, and doesn't require that you log into your or your user's computers remotely like GoToMyPC.

With GoToMyPC and other remote access tools you are actually logging into someone else's computer. When logging onto someone else's computer there are privacy concerns (as you can see their full computer and all their files and email), speeds can be very slow because the speed is dependent on both their internet connection and the speed of their computer, and there is the problem of having to schedule access. In addition, printing can be problematic with these types of tools.

With our QuickBooks hosting solution you and your users are both logging in to a secure, remote network and can both be working at the same time with a fast, easy-to-use virtual desktop, complete with seamless printing. The speeds are much faster with our system because the programs are running from very high-powered servers and on a very robust, redundant backbone. In addition, with our system privacy is never an issue -- you can share the desired files and information with your users without ever seeing their local computer.

Your data is always protected and owned by you. As part of our QuickBooks hosting and online accounting terms and conditions, you own your data and all of your data will be protected and made available to you no matter what.

Upon cancellation of service, you can drag and drop them back to your local computer -- if you need help with this process you can call our technical support team and they can help you move these files back to your computer.

In the very unlikely event that Swizznet was to close their operations you would be given ample notice and support to move your files back to your local computer. If for some reason that was not feasible we would put them on a CD and send them to you via certified mail.

QuickBooks Online can be a great product if it works for your business,  but unfortunately it’s a fairly limited offering when compared with Intuit's QuickBooks desktop software versions (Pro, Premier or Enterprise) and it is an entirely different program to learn and navigate than the desktop software editions.  Swizznet is an alternative to QuickBooks Online for those businesses that require the anytime, anywhere access of QuickBooks Online, but also need the ability to do inventory, grouping, and other features only included in the full desktop versions. 

For companies with multiple QuickBooks files, Swizznet can be a very cost effective alternative to QuickBooks Online because we charge on a per user basis instead of on a per file basis like QuickBooks Online. In addition, with our system, you get secure online access to the full featured QuickBooks desktop programs, plus you get unlimited online data storage with continuous off-site backup and online access to MS Word, Excel and Adobe Reader – so you’re getting a full virtual office, not just online access to the limited QuickBooks Online program.

Yes. With Swizznet you truly can access your accounting information from anywhere. We have mobile apps available for the iPad, tablet, iPhone, Blackberry, Droid, and Windows Mobile devices.

Visit our support forums for setup information.

No. Swizznet QuickBooks hosting will charge you, the accountant, directly on a per-user, monthly basis. You can pass these charges along to your clients or not - whatever is most appropriate for your accounting practice. If you choose to mark up the charges to your clients we can provide suggested pricing. We will only charge your clients directly if you prefer that method.

Our QuickBooks hosting solution offers many tools to help accountants and businesses better collaborate for that online accounting and bookkeeping process. Some of the unique tools we offer include the ability to work in QuickBooks (or other files) in real-time simultaneously as well as the ability for accountants to shadow their users when they are logged onto the Swizznet QuickBooks hosting and online accounting solution. This means that when someone has a question about a function in QuickBooks, the accountant can log in, shadow their user, and immediately be taken to their client's desktop to see exactly what they're doing and give them instant help and tutorials. 

Other collaboration tools include document management, SmartVault and Bill.com integration, and the ability for your users to either directly scan their documents to the secure online data storage or to simply drag and drop their files up to the secure network for immediate shared access.

We can help you market your virtual bookkeeping and online accounting services. We can provide online accounting brochures in print or electronic form for your clients as well as online accounting content for your website. In addition, we can also provide custom-branded electronic brochures for your clients for no added cost.

You can also get a fully Swizznet login-enabled accounting website, complete with online accounting content via our website partner provider ClientWhys.

For more information on how we can help you market your online accounting services with Swizznet, contact the Swizznet Sales Team.

Yes. We can customize the look and feel of both the login page and virtual desktop. The cost to setup a customize login page and virtual desktop is $1000 for the setup and design time.

Intuit requires that all custom pages still display a small Powered by Swizznet logo and our standard disclaimer text at the bottom of the pages.

Yes! Simply download the login box code from below and paste the html code into the webpage that you want the login box to appear on.

Swizznet QuickBooks Hosting Login Box Code

If your internet connection goes down while you're connected to the Swizznet QuickBooks hosting solution, all of your work will automatically be saved and you will be able to reconnect to your programs and files on your next login. You can access your accounting files and applications from any computer, so if need be, you can always reconnect from an alternate location until your internet service resumes.

With Swizznet's QuickBooks hosting and online accounting solution you or your users can simply drag and drop the files to your secure storage drive using the Windows Explorer or you can scan documents directly to our system without the hassle of faxing, uploading, FTP'ing or emailing files. You always have full control and access to all your files and information and can bring them back to your local computer whenever you choose.

If you have scanning and document management access with your Swizznet QuickBooks hosting, you or your users can scan documents directly to your Swizznet storage drive to make that bookkeeping and online accounting process easier.

We recommend several different compact, sheet-fed scanners. The scanners we recommend are able to scan receipts and other document types quickly and easily. If you or your users already have a scanner, chances are good that it will seamlessly integrate as well because any scanner with a Twain driver can be used on our system and most scanners come with a Twain driver.

With the direct scanning, your users can scan directly to the secure online accounting system and you can immediately access their scans for processing. There is no uploading or downloading required.

Swizznet's QuickBooks hosting solution uses the very latest proven technology to provide you with a seamless, reliable virtual bookkeeping and online accounting system that you can work in all day, every day.

Our QuickBooks hosting and online accounting solution offers the best security for your data and sensitive information. Our platform offers the best security of any online accounting solution available in the market. Here are some of our security features:

• Citrix Technology
  We use the very latest Citrix technology to deliver secure access to all of your applications and files. Your information is sent between the secure network and your computer instead of going across the internet with your information.
• Continuous Offsite Backup
  Continuous backup means that your live data is being backed up every 30  minutes (not just backed up once a day like many hosting providers) and is sent offsite once a day. This means that if you have a file problem, we can go back to versions from 30 minutes previous up to one year previous. We do not backup QuickBooks backup (.qbb) files on the system - only live QuickBooks files. There is no need to manually backup your data on the system. If you would like to make manual backups you are still welcome to do so and move them to the local computer for archiving and storage.
• Redundant Firewalls
  We use best-in-class firewalls to protect your data and we use them redundantly so that if there is ever a problem with one, another would immediately take its place to ensure seamless protection.
• SSL Gateway
  Our platform is protected with the highest level of encryption using a Site Safe SSL certificate with a $1,000,000 guarantee for our users.
  
• Secure SAS 70 Type II Datacenter.
  Our system is located in a secure SAS70 II facility with every conceivable natural and human disaster in mind. The facility offers reliable connectivity, fast connection speeds and virtually no downtime. We evaluated many of the top data center facilities in the country and determined that this facility's commitment to service and available resources were perfectly in line with Swizznet’s core values and expectations for high quality service and reliability for our users.
• PCI Compliance
  We do things like quarterly port scanning and audits to help you meet those PCI compliance security requirements for those processing credit cards via QuickBooks Merchant Services.
• Intuit-Authorized Commercial Host
  We have completed the rigorous application and accreditation process and are authorized by Intuit to host QuickBooks® software.
• Accredited Managed Service Provider
  Swizznet has received accreditation under MSP Alliance's (MSPA) Managed Services Accreditation Program (MSAP). MSAP is the first program of its kind, specifically designed and created to provide customers of managed services providers with the assurance that the services provider they hire meets or exceeds the highest principles of quality in areas such as financial stability, facilities, managed services practices, and customer satisfaction.

Our QuickBooks hosting and online accounting system uses the very latest Citrix Client or Web Plugin and it is backward compatible with all other Citrix systems.

If you have another Citrix Client installed on your computer you will need to first go to Add/Remove Programs on your local computer and uninstall the previous Citrix client. You can then install our Citrix client and begin working in all of your Citrix programs normally. This uninstall/reinstall process is required because our Citrix Client/plug-in has a special printing solution integrated in that will ensure you always have seamless printing when using the Swizznet QuickBooks hosting and online accounting solution.

That's no problem. The Swizznet QuickBooks hosting and online accounting system provides complete support, including seamless printing, for Mac OS  users and makes it easy for you to collaborate with users from Mac or PC. Your Mac user can login and use the Swizznet QuickBooks hosting and online accounting solution the same way that PC users can and you both can actually be working in the same QuickBooks file at the same time, no matter what operating system you're working from. Mac users can seamlessly print, drag and drop files and use all of the applications on their virtual desktop.

*We only host the Window's based version of QuickBooks for access from Mac. We do not host the QuickBooks for Mac version - you must own a license to the versions of software we provide you access to.*

We have the fastest technology platform available for your QuickBooks hosting and online accounting needs. Our users tell us that QuickBooks running on our system is actually much faster than running it from their local computer.

Our Citrix technology platform doubles application performance speeds and provides printing speeds that are 2-3 times faster than printing from other remote network platforms like Terminal Services. This means that you'll never be stuck waiting for the hosted application to catch up with you. It's always fast and ready to go.  See Independent Third Party Study Results.

For program specific questions, please contact the program manufacturer (i.e.: contact Intuit for QuickBooks program questions).

There are thousands of different add-on's available that integrate with QuickBooks and unfortunately there is no set standard for how they are designed to sync or integrate with QuickBooks. Our redundant hosting environment is compatible with all applications that can sync with QuickBooks via the QuickBooks Web Connector, IIF import/export or via the Intuit Sync Manager. The Intuit Sync Manager is built into QuickBooks and allows all applications available in the Intuit App Center to sync with QuickBooks in our hosted environment.

Our system is built to be fully redundant and load-balanced to maximize speed and reliability- unfortunately this means that in the shared environment we cannot support add-on's which require something to be installed on the same server as QuickBooks.

Additional add-ons we support:

• Bill.com
• SmartVault
  
• SpringAhead
  
• CS QB Data Utility

Custom Add-on's and Virtual Servers
If you need an add-on that is not compatible with our redundant hosting environment we can set you up with your own custom virtual server for a one-time setup fee and an additional monthly fee. Please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information.

 

No.There is no need to manually backup your data on the system. Our QuickBooks® hosting and cloud computing solution is the only one to offer you continuous backup. This means that your live data is being backed up every 30  minutes, so if you have a file problem, we can go back to versions from 30 minutes previous up to one-year previous. Daily backups are available for 30 days and then the first backup of each month is available for one year.

We make every reasonable effort to backup your live files on the system. To keep costs down and to be able to offer storage without size limits we do not backup your QuickBooks backup (.qbb) files on the system - only your live data files.  If you would like to make manual backups of your QuickBooks files you can make them to your Z drive and then move them to your local computer for long-term storage and archiving.
