Hi Everyone- I am sure I am making this more difficult than I need to. I have a potential new virtual client that currently uses QB 2009. I am very familiar using QB with Local Clients and I have used it to connect remotely to do data clean up. However, most of my current virtual clients either handwrite their checks and I enter them later, or I print them locally and send them to them to be signed and mailed. This potential client currently prints all checks from QB. My question is..how do you handle your clients' Accounts Payable checks. Do you do the input and have them print them off their local printer? Any details describing how you handle the AP process, virtually, would be appreciated.Thanks!

Do you do the input and have them print them off their local printer?

Yep, that about sums it up! I also had a client that would have ME print, sign, and mail the checks from MY computer (I was set up on his bank acct as a signer) and another one that sent me a rubber stamp w/his sig so I could produce/mail the checks for him. I do all bill paying am Friday mornings...

I have two client for which I prepare the cheques. One of them pre-signs a few cheques each week. The other client I print them off on real cheques and he comes and signs them every other week.
Each client is different. It will depend on the trust they have with you.

Hi - I have different clients who are all so different...

1st Client - I enter in payables, print checks, and sign, I am a signer on the account at bank.

2nd Client - I enter payables, and then I pay all bills on line with their bank.

3rd Client - I enter payables and log in to their computer at their office, print the checks out and they are there waiting for them to be signed.

There are several ways to tackle this task.

Hope this helps and good luck.

I, too, had wondered how this was usually conducted. Thanks. Bobbie.
