Employees expect to work in any environment, on any device, and on <em>their<\/em> schedule. They want to be able to work anywhere while enjoying the freedom to attend family commitments, doctor\u2019s appointments, and more, without sacrificing their work or ability to grow. With the right approach to attraction, retention, and technology, growing or managing your firm <a href=\"https:\/\/accountants.intuit.com\/taxprocenter\/tag\/working-remotely\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">remotely<\/a> can be a win-win-win for your business, employees, and clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When attracting remote employees, your offering should clearly indicate key attributes required to be successful, including organizational skills, time management, excellent communication, and the ability to work without direct supervision. In addition, being specific on how your firm handles remote work gives potential employees a sense of what to expect and makes it more likely to attract the employees you are trying to hire. Who wouldn\u2019t want the best and brightest?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elizabeth Manso, CPA, founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellobrigade.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brigade<\/a>, has found great value in providing potential employees the freedom to work how and when it works best for them\u2014as long as they produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are results-oriented, and we make that clear to our candidates,\u201d she says. \u201cThis means that we understand the need for flexibility, so as long as you get your work done and available for team meetings, you can take care of your personal, as well as your professional, responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/proconnect.intuit.com\/desktop-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hosting for Intuit\u00ae Lacerte\u00ae Tax and Intuit ProSeries\u00ae Tax<\/a>, you create an \u201calways-on\u201d business with the flexibility to delegate, review, and collaborate, anywhere and anytime. With Hosting, you can work together with teammates on a return, using the same data at the same time, allowing your team to do their best work and maximizing the ability of your distributed team to produce results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, your firm must offer what job seekers are looking for, so how do you ensure they are a good fit for your organization, and what do you do when you realize they are not? Some time-tested rules for in-person hiring should be emphasized when it comes to remote employee attraction and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe most important principle in any hiring situation is even more critical when it comes to remote staff,\u201d said Manso. \u201cHire slow and fire fast! While this might sound harsh, it is reality. You need to be willing to accept when things aren\u2019t working out, and take action to reduce the negative impact for your firm and all individuals involved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/elizabeth-manso-new.jpg?w=700\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28380 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/elizabeth-manso-new.jpg 940w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/elizabeth-manso-new.jpg?resize=150,126 150w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/elizabeth-manso-new.jpg?resize=300,251 300w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/elizabeth-manso-new.jpg?resize=768,644 768w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/elizabeth-manso-new.jpg?resize=700,587 700w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/elizabeth-manso-new.jpg?resize=740,620 740w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/elizabeth-manso-new.jpg?resize=720,604 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;The most important principle in any hiring situation is even more critical when it comes to remote staff. Hire slow and fire fast! While this might sound harsh, it is reality.&#8221;<\/strong> &#8211; Elizabeth Manso<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>By engaging in the hiring process deliberately and interviewing thoroughly, you can better minimize risk to your business. Focus on your core values, mission statement, and expectations. Know who you are, who you serve, and how you serve. Be clear on what is important, find people who share the same values, then leverage technology and Hosting solutions to make the most of your remote team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without solid technology in place that allows you to manage work effectively across a distributed team, you invite risk in the form of unhappy or chronically frustrated employees who can be tempted to venture back into the remote hiring pool. Prioritizing the needs of remote workers, especially the ability to easily access and collaborate on the same projects, helps retain the top talent you work hard to acquire.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Brigade, a results-oriented, incentivized culture embraces the power of technology to give remote associates freedom and flexibility, while the business strategy rewards performance. \u201cBrigade also incentivizes our team,\u201d said Manso. \u201cFor example, we offer a commission on clean-up projects and a new client bonus, so team members have the incentive to fit a new client into their roster and meeting timelines efficiently.\u201d Brigade also awards quarterly bonuses based on team performance and provides annual bonuses based on tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to monetary rewards and flexibility, top talent is often seeking something more from their employer: growth, which Manso leverages as another incentive at Brigade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the key selling points we have for remote team members is that they really have no limit to their growth if they are willing to do the work necessary to excel. For high performing talent, the opportunity to work remotely and also have growth opportunities is a big plus.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hosting features automated backups and updates, and seamlessly integrates with your software for uninterrupted workflow. For you, that means less time spent managing software and IT issues, and more time to focus on your business. And it is secure. Hosting tax software in the cloud provides protection beyond the limits of your computer or local server. With Hosting for Intuit Lacerte and ProSeries, you gain layers of security measures, including data encryption, an enterprise firewall, no vulnerability of physical data storage, and the added confidence that it meets all <a href=\"https:\/\/accountants.intuit.com\/taxprocenter\/practice-management\/how-to-stay-in-lockstep-with-the-irs-security-six\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRS \u201cSecurity Six\u201d requirements<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By addressing the reality of a remote or hybrid workforce, the cloud allows firms to grow and optimize their business in new ways, while simultaneously prioritizing the needs of the team, customers, and business. When firms spend less time on IT management, they have more time to prioritize the things that are most impactful for their business to survive, such as growth, managing client relationships, and empowering employees to do their best work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Editor\u2019s note:<\/strong> Discover the advantages of the cloud for your practice; get more information on <a href=\"https:\/\/proconnect.intuit.com\/desktop-hosting\/?s_cid=PA_HOST_TPC_DThosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lacerte and ProSeries cloud-hosting solutions<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your team is working remotely, consider the benefits of Hosting for Lacerte and ProSeries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":144648993,"featured_media":28369,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rkv_browse_by_id":0,"rkv_cta_id":0,"rkv_optimize_for_pagespeed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"useModifiedDate":false,"customPublishDate":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[116807],"tags":[646041765],"intuit_collection":[],"intuit_series":[],"coauthors":[509474241],"class_list":["post-28364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-practice-management","tag-hosting"],"header_image":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hosting Gives Remote Teams Always-On Access<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Cloud hosting for Lacerte or ProSeries lets remote tax teams access data on any device, any time - supporting flexible work, staff retention, and client service.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/accountants.intuit.com\/taxprocenter\/practice-management\/working-remotely-hosting-offers-always-on-access\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Working remotely?
