Employee
Spotlight
Marcia Kasper
Consulting Administrator
Each
quarter, SSYH lets you get to know one of our employees a little
better. This quarter's featured employee is Marcia Kasper,
Consulting Administrator.
Marcia Kasper
joined the staff at Stanley Stuart Yoffee & Hendrix, Inc. in
June of 1999 as the Accounting Specialist. Marcia was
responsible for all accounting functions, as well as
administering the consulting side of the business. However, due
to the company's growing client base, additional support was
needed to properly maintain the service side of SSYH. Marcia
recently moved into a new position as Consulting Administrator,
in which her goal is to optimize consultant utilization and
client satisfaction.
Marcia has over 14 years of accounting experience, which has
helped her in both her previous accounting role, as well as her
current position, in which she is responsible for service
billings, consultant scheduling, maintaining client projects and
budgets, and creating and maintaining SSYH customer portal sites.
Marcia was born in Massachusetts and moved to Ocala, FL at the
age of seven, where she attended high school and college. She
later moved to Orlando. Marcia has one daughter and a miniature
pinscher named Oakey. In her spare time she enjoys camping,
fishing and reading.

What's
New at SSYH
All of us at SSYH wish you and the rest of your team a
happy new year! We will be hosting a Client
Appreciation Event in Central Florida next quarter. Also, Convergence 2007 is in
San Diego, CA on March 11-14. We will follow up with further details
for both events soon!
Christine McCarron, Account Executive - Existing
Customers was recently recognized
by Microsoft for exceeding her 2006 goals. She was welcomed into the Microsoft 100% Club and
awarded a trip to Hawaii. We would like to thank all of our
clients for their loyalty and for their commitment to growing
their business with the Microsoft Dynamics solutions.
Business Intelligence Practice
We are pleased to announce the formation of a dedicated
Business Intelligence (BI) practice. This practice will be led
by David Yoffee, one of the founding members of SSYH.
Business Intelligence has two major components - a data
warehouse and data viewing tools. The databases in ERP systems,
such as Microsoft Dynamics SL/GP, are optimized for transaction
processing. Reporting is possible, but additional benefits are
had by moving the transactional data into a data warehouse that
is optimized for data reporting. Easy-to-use data viewing
tools allow users to self-perform data queries and analysis
using "drag and drop" functionality.
Reporting parameters such as years,
divisions, product lines, service lines, projects, sales people,
etc., can all instantly be manipulated. Results can be in
traditional spreadsheet formats, charts and graphs, key
performance indicator objects and even geographic maps.
We have several different software products available to both
build data warehouses and view your data, and are very excited
about the potential of this new practice. For further
information or to arrange a custom demonstration tailored to
your organization's specific requirements, please contact
Christine McCarron at ext. 132.

Microsoft Dynamics SL (Solomon)
Payroll Year-End Tips:
-
Complete all payroll runs for the current year.
-
Create a backup of your database and mark as 2006 pre
year-end tax update.
-
Install the
2006 year-end update.
-
Run the W2
Calculation.
-
Review Employee W2 info in Employee W2 History. You can use
Initialize Mode to edit the information.
-
Print the
W2 forms.
-
Create a
backup of your database and mark as 2006 post year-end file.
-
Run 1099 Preview Report. You can use the Vendor History
Report, AP Transaction Report, and the Vendor Trial Balance -
All Documents Report to compare 1099 info. Changes can be made
in AP Vendor Maintenenace 1099 Tab using Initialize Mode.
-
Once you have printed the 1099 for
the year, review the 1099 Calendar Year Control. The Change
Status Process Option will allow you to close the 1099 year.
This will prevent checks from being written for this year. The
Purge Oldest Year option will purge the oldest year and roll the
years forward. For example, if you have the current 1099 year as
2005, and the next 1099 year as 2006, the system will purge the
1099 info for 2005, make 2006 the current year, and 2007 the
next 1099 year.
Note: Do not purge 2006 information until you have printed
and verified the 1099s. Once you close or purge a year, you
cannot go back.
Note: You can install the 2007 tax updates at anytime. These updates
can be obtained from CustomerSource.
For more information on 1099 or Tax Updates
contact SSYH or refer to
CustomerSource.
