5 New Financial Calculators

Business Valuation                                                      
This calculator creates a possible market valuation for your business. Enter your cash flow information for the next four years, your cost of capital and your expected growth rate. We will then determine how much your future cash flow is worth today.
 

Accelerated Debt Payoff                                              
This calculator can show you how to accelerate your debt payoff. Consolidating your debt is only half of the battle. You still need a plan to get your debt paid in full.  

Roll-Down Your Credit Card Debt!                                
This calculator applies two simple principles to paying off your credit card debt. First payoff your highest interest rate first. When a card balance is paid in full, apply its monthly payment to the card with the next highest interest rate. 

Loan Comparison Calculator                                       
This calculator will sort through the monthly payments, fees and other costs associated with getting a new loan. By comparing these important variables side by side, this calculator can help you pick the loan that works best for you.  

Don't Delay Your Savings!                                           
This calculator helps show you how much postponing your retirement savings plan can really cost you.
 

  
How To Add the New Calculators To Your Site

If you're on our Gold or Platinum plan, please call or email us and we'll add the New Financial Calculators to your site for you.


New Email Marketing System
You now have a new email marketing system that is much more flexible than the original.

The new system allows you to have more than one list of users. So you can create groups of prospective clients, active clients, and former clients and send each group separate emails.

You can also schedule emails to go out on precise dates rather than just relative days. (January 1st rather than 14 days after signing up for the campaign.)

There's a new built-in WYSIWYG editor that enables you to easily build HTML messages with graphics and color.

The integrated address book feature allows you to manage contacts with fields designated for name, address (including city, state, and zip code), email, fax, and two phone numbers. There are also 10 user customizable fields that you can use for such things as web address, pager number, birthday, etc.

The new system is already installed for you. You don't have to do a thing. If you need help with this system please click on the "Help" icon or call us at 1-800-896-4500.


LinkDefender : CPR for Dead Links
Your clients and prospective clients want a dependable accountant. They need a bookkeeper that doesn't 'miss things.' They search for a tax preparer that won't leave anything out.

What does it say to people when they are surfing the web looking for an accountant and they find a site with broken links on it? It says, "Here's someone who doesn't have it all together."

Over 5% of all links on the Web today are broken. An average site has roughly 200 links on it and ten of them are broken.

Imagine if you had to check through all your links by hand to make sure that they worked and then had to figure out how to fix the broken ones by yourself. Think of all the non-billable hours that would have to be used a week to make sure that your website remains fully-functional.

From now on, you won't have to worry becuase we do it for you.

We check weekly to make sure that all of your links are fully functional. We fix the ones that we can and we email you if we need your assistance.
