Accounting Review

Q: What is an Accounting Review and why is this not covered in my support plan?

A: Our support plans are not meant to be a substitute for understanding the flow of financial information and working with a qualified accountant to make sure the bookkeeping processes are accurate.  Many times we find client’s staff contact support to dig into reports to determine where the numbers are coming from. While our technical support team will not dissect the numbers, they will offer suggestions of reports which may help to review the issue.  They will also direct you to FAQs, KB Articles, and/or supportive help topics to help in troubleshooting your issue.

Our Accounting Review service is available to have your concerns reviewed by a top tier specialist with extensive knowledge of the software and accounting principles.  Through this service, they will review the software functionality and the bookkeeping data to ensure the software is/is not performing as intended.  This service is a paid service which we stand behind.  If there is found to be an issue with the software which is defined as a “bug”, your review will be credited $150.00 per “bug”. To take advantage of this service, please do the following:

  1. Complete the Accounting Review Service Request.
  2. Complete the Accounting Review Authorization.
  3. Send a backup of your company file to our office.
  4. Email the completed authorization to trainer@aptora.com with Request for Accounting Review in the subject line.
