  • #16 Now, we’ve had some people ask whether or not our webinars can count towards PD hours. The good news is that they can! Credit will be given based on time in session, you simply need to email Adriana – her email is on screen. The bad news is that if you are listening to this on demand unfortunately we are not able to give you PD credit. Never fear though, we have at least one webinar a month so you will have plenty of opportunities to earn credit.
  • #17 Why would such a large organization feel the need to outsource? Our company has been thinking of switching to a cloud based systems but some people have their reservations. Are cloud based systems secure? This question is for Andrew.  What do you feel has been the biggest benefit for you since ­working with a company for your bookkeeping?
