Ryan, I'm not totally paperless but I use Neat Receipts for much of the paper clutter. I especially like it for scanning in the ATM card receipts such as the fuel pump printer receipts because they are hard to file and fade in a couple of years. The software and scanner are fast and the receipts can be sorted many different ways and reprinted if a paper copy is needed at a future time. I have been using this system for several years and like it. When I'm working with my records I can have the program open and sorted according to date, amount, etc. which makes retrieval very easy to verify an entry. I use two monitor screens and have one monitor that is huge which allows me to window three apps at once. I still keep hard copies of contracts and most of the monthly statements & invoices. It's just easier for me to throw those things in the file cabinent instead of scanning them. I do scan most of the occasional vendor items that I don't want to maintain a file for. Quickbooks now has a feature that allows you to scan the receipt and index it to the entry. I'm using Farmworks and I asked them if that was in the future plans. The reply was that it was on the wish list for some future update. The paperless office makes a lot of sense to me for most of the items that need to be filed away. There a several exceptions though in my view. |
