This is a particular issue with accounting firms whose businesses evolve around various paper documents. The challenge of course in going paperless, is keeping and transmitting those electronic documents in a very secure fashion. If you are an accounting firm you need to have a secure online portal which you can exchange files with your customers. Especially if you are providing services for a publicly traded company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires all publicly traded companies to use SAS 70 Type II Certified datacenters. If you provide accounting service to one of these companies, you will be under the same requirements. Click here for a review of firms that provide online portals with their accounting websites.

I am tired of seeing paper everywhere so I’ve made my life as paper free as possible. I run an office at the moment and we’re trialling sending out wage slips by email and using electronic timesheets. Less paper means less wasteage and less mess.

I think that keeping everything electronic is great. however, i still keep paper copies and hard drives for when your computer decides to die on you.

f you use less paper (or no paper at all) chances are you won’t need that filling cabinet. You may have to rethink and analyze your needs. You might very well end up with a really minimalist office design/concept, meaning: desk, chair, computer and some accessories. Of course having a laptop or PDA really is a must for the freelancer “on the go“.

I’d love to go paperless, but running an online business it would be impossible. (Well almost). I agree that using the Pro version of acrobat is important. Backup is equally important. I’ve lost several hard drives before and use one of the $50 a year automatic service. Automatic is the key!

The goal of a ‘paperless office’ is a great ideal to work towards – and you can make progress in the way you organize your own life. Trouble is, there are so many organizations and people you have to deal with who don’t have the same aim! Could one scan everything that comes in an envelope and file it electronically? Perhaps – but until everybody works like this to save paper, it will have to be a mixed approach for me.
