I’m looking forward to sharing more about the amazing experiences I had at the back-to-back accounting conferences I just attended.  However, one short post in the meanwhile:

It is SUCH a relief to find out that so many of the workarounds I’ve created for my clients — most notably, recurring daily journal entries to capture data from online Point of Sale systems (although there were at least two other topics) — aren’t because I was just “missing something” or confused about how these systems (Square, Vend, etc.) work.  The fact is, they simply don’t function properly.  The “integrations” with QuickBooks Online aren’t what they purport themselves to be, and I have it on good authority that the most expert POS consultants in the world are using the same exact workarounds that I thought I’d invented.  It may not be “good” news, per se, but it’s such a relief!
