Don’t be afraid to ask – or learn!  Processing ACH payments (yesterday’s post) is one of many reasons it pays to be educated.  Attend Ethical Trust Accounting on October 27 and have complete confidence that all your bases are covered.

  • Processing third party payments
  • Using fixed fee agreements
  • Paying yourself
  • Reporting overdrafts

  • Processing credit cards
  • Retaining records
