“ Harriet was tasked with helping us bring all of our financial data from commonsku into Quickbooks Online. Because of the volume of data that needed to be brought over, deciphered and reconciled it seemed like an impossible task to tackle. However, Harriet went above and beyond to understand commonsku and brought us up to date in no time. She is super knowledgeable and took her time to make sure that we understood what was being done and trained us on how to keep up with this ourselves moving forward. I can’t thank Harriet enough for always answering my questions and helping us with this crucial part of our business. I’d recommend Harriet to anyone trying to connect the dots between commonsku and Quickbooks Online.”

“ Harriet was incredible in helping me get my Quickbooks Online integrated with SAGE. I do all my sales orders and purchase orders through SAGE however, had not been able to successfully invoice from SAGE directly into QBO. This resulted in a lot of time spent manually entering invoices into QBO. Harriet was able to work her accountant magic, and now I just have to click two buttons and my invoices appear like magic in QBO. If you are also in SAGE, but have not yet figured this piece out yet, this is money well spent, in just time savings and improved accuracy alone! Harriet is easy to talk to, systematic, and funny to boot! Thanks so much.”

“ Before I met with Harriet, I tried to export transactions from sage to QB on my own. This resulted in lots of painstaking mistakes that had to be fixed in the long run. There were client duplications and sometimes the exports just didn’t work, forcing me to re-key most of my transactions manually.
I must admit, I am not a bookkeeper; I’m a salesman. So, I was a little embarrassed to show my messy bookkeeping to Harriet. She quickly pointed out some obvious tasks that needed to be tended to. But the best part was that she set up my system quickly and it started to export, correctly, every time. This saved me a lot of time and headache.
Another amazing benefit was her assistance in helping me understand the sales tax report. I recently converted from QB desktop to QB online and the sales tax report changed completely. Harriet took the time to walk me through the differences and how to proceed with my sales tax filing.
I wish I had hired Harriet sooner. All my mistakes of messy bookkeeping are still costing me time and money today.”

“ Harriet proved to be an invaluable asset in supporting our transition from ProfitMaker to QuickBooks Online earlier this year. With our business standardized on ProfitMaker for over two decades, the prospect of migrating two decades worth of financial data to a new platform seemed daunting and overwhelming. However, Harriet provided unwavering support throughout the entire process, guiding us through the setup of our chart of accounts and seamlessly transferring all year-end balances to QBO. In addition, Harriet did a great job in training us on QBO, and she was always available to take our numerous support calls with her warm and comforting demeanor. Based on our highly positive experience, I recommend Harriet to any business in the process of transitioning from ProfitMaker to QBO.”

“Harriet Gatter from Accounting Support, LLC helped transition our Quickbooks from a “generic version” to a solid accounting system geared towards the promotional products industry. We “stumbled” upon Harriet in a post on Linkedin and it’s been the “perfect match” ever since. Harriet’s knowledge and passion for the industry has made our accounting process seamless. Literally setting up all aspects of our Quickbooks from start to finish; coupled with spectacular training. Additionally, Harriet’s availability for ongoing support is spectacular, always available for a call and no problem too large.”

We worked with Harriet to convert from an old industry software package known as Order Master to Quick Books. The thought of tackling this challenge alone was daunting. She made the process virtually seamless from beginning to end. She is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. The conversion has eliminated many duplications and streamlined our business. I don’t believe we could have done it without her help.

Last year, I launched my promotional products distributorship. After selecting my industry software program, I was introduced to Harriet Gatter, Accounting Support, LLC. to guide me through QuickBooks. “Guide” is an understatement. Harriet helped me with every aspect of integrating my industry software with QuickBooks. Harriet was unconcerned with my zero bookkeeping knowledge. According to her, “I’ve never lost anyone yet”. I was pretty sure I was going to be the first to sink.
Harriet is amazing. Not only did I not sink but what seemed so daunting and unmanageable, I can now do. I’m invoicing, paying bills, receiving payments and reconciling my months. I would never have learned this on my own and Harriet made sure I was learning and understanding each step. Of course, she could have breezed thru the program but Harriet was insistent that I understood each step.
Not only am I becoming quite proficient in QuickBooks, I have a great mentor on my side.Thank You Harriet for all your support and guidance.

I came to Harriet after creating a do-it-yourself mess. After severing my affiliation with a mega-distributor, I thought it would be easy to buy QB Premier (as suggested), and have it work seamlessly with SAGE. It was a fool’s errand, but I didn’t realize that for many months. I hired a part time assistant with QB training to “fix” it, and finally realized I had a bigger problem than I’d started with.
Along came Harriet to the rescue! From setting up QB to work cohesively with SAGE Order Management,, to rebuilding almost a year of records, to providing me with documentation of best practices moving forward, I don’t know what I would have done without her.
Here’s the best advice you’ll get this week: Hire Harriet to get you set up properly BEFORE you decide to try to be an expert at everything. Don’t be Stupid me, be Smart me! Even if you have a staff member whose job is to maintain QB, Harriet will get everything set up properly, as well as train the person who will be taking over the job later. And…if you want Harriet to do your books on an ongoing basis, well, she’s there for that too!

Harriet helped transition my company from DemandBridge software to QuickBooks Premier. I could not have done it without Harriet’s help. She was professional and always got back to me in a timely manner. When the start date happened on September 1st all my accounts were balanced and up and running.

Five years ago we purchased an existing distributorship. The previous owner used OrderMaster so we continued using it. We had to use pre-printed forms and type each item into the orders. There was a lot of duplicated effort and lost productivity. After deciding to make the switch to SAGE Order Management, we contacted Harriet to assist the transition. January 1st we hit the ground running with SAGE. We can generate quotes and orders quickly and the interface between SAGE and QuickBooks actually works. Over six months later I cannot imagine going back to the old system. Harriet made a very daunting transition possible while still running the business every day. We could not have done it without her. Thank you, Harriet!

Connect the Dots Promotions converted from AIA. We decided to go with the Sage platform for order entry and needed direction on how to integrate with QuickBooks. Harriet made the transition seamless. She set up the templates that we required in a reasonable amount of time. We were able to direct our valuable resources to other issues that arise in a transition like this and she took care of the rest. The training and materials that were provided are still referred to often. I highly recommend Harriet and Accounting Support, LLC.

Harriet Gatter from Accounting Support, LLC helped us convert our old order entry system to one that uses Sage Order Management and QuickBooks.
Using Sage as our research search engine, we can now go from a proposal to a completed sales order, customer acknowledgement, vendor POs and customer invoice with little work. Harriet assisted in setting up our QuickBooks so that the documents created in Sage are exported in a correct form and accepted by QuickBooks in a manner that requires few adjustments. Harriet made the transition and set up easy for us to understand and implement. She is a good teacher. I recommend Harriet as an accounting and QuickBooks expert who can solve problems, teach and assist promotional products distributors.

I’m a small business owner that wears every hat in the company.
Accounting was my least favorite aspect of my day to day especially because I didn’t exactly know what I was doing. After years of meeting with my accountant at tax time and not having Quickbooks to pull my reports for me, I’d spend days preparing and compiling the necessary info.
In mid 2016 I heard of Harriet Gatter. In sheer desperation, I called though quite embarrassed.
She quickly eased my insecurities and assessed what I needed. Harriet had me set up in QB very quickly and the magic started. She taught me step by step how to make QB work simultaneously with SAGE Order Management for our industry. She was so patient yet thorough.
I’m thrilled to say, in no time at all, I’m up and running completely on my own.

We’ve been using Sage and QuickBooks for the last 5 years. Harriet helped us integrate the 2 together about 6 months ago. Thanks to her help with the integration and her advice, our company is running much more efficiently.
Nothing gets missed on the purchase order side and everything gets billed on the sales side! Thanks Harriet!

Earlier this year Marketing Connections made a transition to using Quick Books exclusively for all of our in-house bookkeeping. We eliminated a software that no longer met our needs. We engaged Harriet to help us through some major steps during this transition. She not only has extensive experience using Quick Books but also has developed an expertise using Quick Books primarily for our Promotional Products Industry.
In making this transition to Quick Books, we were tasked to more fully understand & develop QB procedures to replace our old ones. Initially, we needed to develop QB procedures for Order Entry & Invoicing & related A/R & A/P & payment functions. We needed to replicate many of the procedures & functions from our old software and learn how to do them in QB. As we progressed, we also discovered a number of related QB functions we needed to tailor for our specific operations. These included our Chart of Accounts, General Ledger Items lists, Supplier & Customer Lists to name a few.
With Harriet we then developed a training plan to do this for 3 confidential primary users, plus 2 more restricted users. Harriet was instrumental through many communications, conference calls & e-mails, to help us successfully make this transition to our now exclusively using Quick Books. She has helped us through numerous problems & solutions with many elements of our systems along the way. She has been most responsive and creative at times, when we needed timely solutions to bottlenecks in our system. As a result we are now much more efficient in our overall operations. We are using sometimes unique Quick Books features to manage our business. Finally, she helped us develop memorized reporting which allows us to make timely financial adjustments as needed.
