Our Audience and Angle
Our newsletter, The Desktop Accountant (www.sleeter.com/newsletters) is geared towards accountants and consultants who provide consulting services to small business owners. It has tips and tricks on the techie aspects of QuickBooks and QuickBooks Add-ons, with troubleshooting techniques and other mostly technical topics. In addition, we pepper the newsletter with useful practice development and marketing tips. The unique angle we provide is how consultants can use technology to help their clients better. So instead of article that discuss how an accounting firm can implement technology internally, we focus more on how the consultants can use technology solutions in their client consulting work.
