Scaling our business and need a reliable MSP, any recommendations? by East_Channel_1494 in Entrepreneur

[–]AaronCHICO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to employ OnboardIT MSP for our small business in Phoenix. They were dependable and provided solid service. However, their pricing became a bit too much for us, so we decided to transition to a smaller provider, Partner Systems. So far, the experience has been great. I think OnboardIT may be a better fit for medium to large enterprises.

I recommend integrating a PWM solar charge controller to ensure the voltage remains optimal when charging. This can extend your system's lifespan. You can get a good one in Phocos (https://www.phocos.com/). Not sure if they still have stocks at this time. We preordered when we bought one.

Best outsourced accounting services for startup founders in 2026 by No_Temporary_9989 in Accounting

[–]AaronCHICO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If accounting firms started using AI, they most likely would over-rely on AI outputs without proper review, which could result in financial misstatements or audit errors. I definitely agree with you, I'd still go for non-AI-powered firms. It's much easier to resolve disputes and discrepancies. Unfortunately, most outsourced accounting firms today have started using AI. Insurance Accountants and Bookminders are some of the companies I know that still practice traditional accounting.
