Accounts Payable and Payroll Year-End Checklists

Nothing feels better than completing a checklist, and the P&N team has created an easy-to-follow list for you. From verifying the accuracy of 1099 amounts to generating W-2s, our list has you covered. For a full checklist, download our year-end presentation.

Sage 100 Tax Table Update

If you use Sage 100, do you need assistance installing the latest tax table update? The P&N team is here to help.

The tax table update is an essential end-of-year step for those who run payroll, and it needs to be completed prior to the first 2018 payroll. If you need assistance installing these updates, simply contact the P&N team at support@pncpa.com to schedule a time for the updates.

Timesaving Tips

Everyone could use some extra time, and with these tips, you are bound to become more efficient in many areas of your job. Here are a few timesaving tips:

• Avoid the time consuming hassle of organizing, formatting, printing, and mailing by utilizing Aatrix. Aatrix can print and mail/e-mail your year-end forms. Contact the P&N team at support@pncpa.com to get started with Aatrix.
• Avoid paper cuts - go paperless! Paperless Office automatically generates PDFs within Sage 100, including journal, registers, customer invoices, employee/vendor remittance advices, and more.
• F2-F4 could be your new best friend. No, this isn’t a cousin of R2D2! F2-F4  is an essential keyboard shortcut that any Sage user should be using for faster master list lookups and data entry.
