How to run payroll (Completed by Abacist, process noted here in case A8 ever has to step in)
File receipt under accounting hanging folder.
Set the goal of sending all invoices out during the first week of the month.
Note: Bank statements usually post by the 4th of the month. Save statements under Admin>Accounting-BECU folder.
Every month login to Smartsheet using the biz@allied8.com login and download the backup dated the first of the month (see steps below) under Active Projects, Admin, Library, and Templates folders.
- Right click the folder > select Request Backup > click View Recent Backups > select the folder dated at closest to the first of the month > download backup
When a project is completed, archive the smartsheet project folder and download a backup of it. Once downloaded save to network drive; create a new folder called Smartsheet Backup.
Most reimbursable costs should have already been scanned since receipts are attached to Harvest Invoices. Ensure that reimbursable expenses have been recorded in Harvest. Add them if they have been missed.
