An essential add-on for cloud accounting

Cloud accounting software provides much in the way of convenience and the ability to easily integrate various 3rd party offerings to create automatic workflows and otherwise enhance efficiency. However, Intuit does NOT guarantee the integrity of your QBO data and does not officially provide backups in the case of catastrophic data loss or corruption. While events like this rarely occur they are not unheard of. I had been putting off purchasing Rewind for my own company and those of my accounting clients until I heard a horror story from a colleague where her client DID lose their QBO data, and it took this college more than 8 hours on the phone with Intuit to get a 2-week old copy of their data located and restored. Unfortunately for that client, several months of data had been processed during those two missing weeks and a lot of time had to be spent re-doing it all. I immediately signed up for Rewind Backups that day and have not looked back because it is cheap insurance against that type of nightmare.
