(Created page with "Frequently we are asked to help a treasurer figure out what is “wrong with Jewel,” because it is "not letting me remit or print reports." And when I ask them what their “Next Step” button says, they tell me that it says "Start New Offering." That tells me that, even though they may think that they are nearly finished closing the month, they have not even started the process yet. Let me illustrate it this way. Let's say you are ready to take a trip. You pack and...")
