QuickBooks and Beyond Blog Launches

PLEASANTON, CA, February 11, 2011 — The Sleeter Group, supporting accountants,
consultants and small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), is launching its new
blog today. Entitled QuickBooks and Beyond, The Sleeter Group’s blog will
include articles about various aspects of accounting software and add-ons, as
well as practice management.

Sleeter Group Founder and President Doug Sleeter states, “We’re
really excited about the new blog. This will be an ideal place for consultants
and business owners to get great tips and up-to-the-minute information about
how to succeed with QuickBooks and other accounting software. We’re committed
to delivering high value, current information that people cannot find anywhere
else.”

Sleeter has hand-picked Charlie Russell, President of CCRSoftware and an “Inner
Circle” contributor to Intuit’s Small Business Blog, to be Managing
Editor of QuickBooks and Beyond. Russell was selected because of his deep knowledge
and expertise of accounting software as well as serving clients. Russell’s
existing blog, Practical QuickBooks, is being transitioned into this new blog
under The Sleeter Group’s umbrella. “By joining forces with The
Sleeter Group, I can provide even more in-depth articles than I could by myself.
The Sleeter Group’s wealth of technical information on QuickBooks, as
well as their contacts with accounting software and add-on developers, will
really enhance what I can provide,” states Russell.

Russell will tap into the combined expertise of an array of writers and contributors
from the Sleeter Group Consultants Network and Sleeter Group staff to enhance
the variety of postings offered. “I’m excited about working with
Doug and his staff, as well as with the many excellent writers who are members
of the Sleeter Group Consultants Network,” Russell continues.

The blog will be open to all readers. “We realized that sending 140
characters at a time really isn’t enabling us to offer enough substance
to the hundreds of thousands of people in our target market. QuickBooks and
Beyond gives us the chance to expound upon issues of importance to the consultant
and the business owner,” says Deborah Pembrook, The Sleeter Group’s
Manager of Educational Products, referring to the company’s Twitter feed
(@sleetergroup).

There are various subscription options available from the home page.
