It's Not Too Late to Prepare Your Year-End Reports
Are you getting the most out of Crystal Reports? Do you have all the year-end financial reports you need or the resources to get them done?
Insight Direct's team of experienced Data Services professionals are available to build ANY report you need to successfully run your business. All you need to do is purchase a Custom Report Quotation from the Insight Direct Online Store located in the Member Center. So don't wait any longer. Order your new report today!
With the help of our Data Services experts, we can build and customize any report to meet your business objectives including:
- Tracking your company's sales revenue growth
- Monitoring sales activity by account representative
- Displaying critical business data with geographic mapping capabilities
- and much more
To begin building your custom report, we first need to understand the amount of work involved so we can provide a fair and accurate quote for the report design. For a $400 consultation fee, we will help you fill out the Custom Report Quick Start Kit and we will analyze your specific reporting and business requirements. This step typically takes two to three hours, and if less time is required, we will then credit the balance towards the report creation. At the conclusion of this process, you will receive a fixed-price quotation for the complete cost of building the report.
Completing a Custom Report Quick Start Kit
To enable us to fully understand your requirements, we have created an easy-to-follow Custom Report Quick Start Kit that enables you to provide us with the information we need to develop an accurate quote.
Once we receive your online payment for the consultation fee, you will receive an e-mail with a link to download the Custom Report Quick Start Kit User's Guide. Within two days, your personal report consultant will contact you to discuss your requirements, describe how to use the Custom Report Request Kit, and answer any questions. From there, your consultant will work with you closely to ensure the kit contains all of the information needed for the successful completion of your custom report.
Start today! Log into the Member Center to complete a Custom Report Quick Start Kit.

Critical GST / HST Information for Canadian QuickBooks Customers
Source: Intuit Canada
As a valued customer, we want to ensure you are informed of changes that affect you and your business.
In the 2007 federal budget, the Canadian government announced a 1% reduction in the GST and HST rates, effective January 1, 2008. The new GST rate will be 5% and the HST rate will be 13%.
If you track sales tax in QuickBooks, you will need to update the GST and HST sales tax rates in your company file. To help you prepare for this change, QuickBooks has created easy instructions that will take you through this process step-by-step. Note that after you change your tax rates, you’ll have to take special steps to edit transactions that take place before January 1, 2008. For more details on updating your company file, see quickbooks.ca/gst.
If you need further assistance, please visit quickbooks.ca/support.
For further details regarding the GST and HST changes, visit the Canada Revenue Agency website at www.cra-arc.gc.ca.

Chimney sweeps know this is not your grandfather's business anymore. The top hat and tails have been replaced by Tyvek suits and respirators. Territories have expanded beyond small local communities and competition has intensified. The tools of the trade have evolved from rudimentary mirrors and brushes to sophisticated imaging and testing equipment. Customer service, invoicing and marketing have also become even more critical to profitability. Running a chimney sweep business in the 21st century is far more complicated than in your Grandad's day.
