Remote Quality Bookkeeping: A Trusted Back Office Partner For Businesses Nationwide
For 25 years, Remote Quality Bookkeeping has helped small and mid-sized businesses handle their financial operations. With a mission to deliver accurate, secure, cost-effective, and personalized financial support, they leverage cutting-edge technology such as encryption, OCR, and work document management and workflow. Remote Quality Bookkeeping is a collaborative team using industry-specific expertise to ensure clients receive precision and peace of mind.
Remote Quality Bookkeeping is known for catering to various industries, from retail franchises to independent service providers and growing e-commerce ventures, with its comprehensive services. It offers complete back-office solutions, essentially serving as a client's full accounting department. Remote Quality Bookkeeping also delivers individual services like payroll processing, forensic accounting, tax planning assistance, and sales and meals tax reporting. For those seeking unique or complex operations, the firm provides customized accounting workflows and processes.
The Maine-based company stands out for solving challenges small and mid-sized business owners face. Many struggle with the assumption that accounting software alone is enough to keep their finances in order. Unknown to them, without the expertise to ensure accurate input and interpretation, misleading reports are inevitable.
Remote Quality Bookkeeping assists in filling such gaps. It turns raw transaction data from bank accounts, loans, and credit cards into clear, timely financial statements that business owners can use. It avoids communication breakdowns that usually occur in larger, less personalized firms. The firm's streamlined approach meets GAAP regulations, meaning clients aren't left in the dark, whether reconciling accounts, navigating payroll intricacies, or managing complex sales tax obligations.
This commitment to client success has been shaped by founder and president Mark Kilduff since Remote Quality Bookkeeping's early days. The firm's history began when Kilduff was working alongside a tax attorney, helping prepare clients for audits by painstakingly reconstructing financial records from the ground up. That early experience taught him the importance of accuracy, structure, and trust.
After years of traveling from site to site doing hands-on bookkeeping, Kilduff realized the inefficiency of the traditional model. A pivotal moment occurred when he began hosting QuickBooks files on a dedicated server, enabling remote access. When a snowstorm once shut down most of the state but didn't affect his ability to work, Kilduff knew he was onto something. The company was then born, initially named "Remote QuickBooks," before it was changed to Remote Quality Bookkeeping, which captured the firm's essence even better.
The company grew as the demand for reliable, remote financial services increased. Remote Quality Bookkeeping created repeatable systems for common industries to serve large networks of clients. In addition, it maintained flexibility through what it now calls the flexible service model, allowing clients to pick and choose only the services they need. This means clients aren't locked into bundled pricing or cookie-cutter packages. With such agility, a high standard of security, and 24/7 network monitoring, Remote Quality Bookkeeping maintains the intimate, high-touch experience its clientele valued from the beginning.
Remote Quality Bookkeeping remains focused on innovation and value creation. It intends to continue empowering businesses so they can turn their vision into reality. "Reaching our 25th anniversary reflects the trust our clients placed in us, as well as the dedication of our team to never let them down," says Kilduff. "Every financial report we deliver, every question we answer, it all adds up to our mission of helping our clients succeed in the long run."

Airline Chiefs Meet In India Amid Turbulence Of Trump
Airline bosses meet from Sunday in New Delhi at their annual industry conference, battling to mitigate the impact of Donald Trump's policies that have hit travel to the United States and potentially raised costs for aviation. Trump's bid to impose tariffs on the United States' trading partners have upended commercial flows, with legal challenges against his plan adding to uncertainties. The tense atmosphere in the United States, from Trump's plans to revoke foreign students' visas to reports of travellers detained at US borders, has also put a dampener on tourism. "The airline sector is always sensitive to the economic and political climate," Paul Chiambaretto, professor of strategy and marketing at France's Montpellier Business School, told AFP. "Any form of uncertainty will reduce traffic," he added, noting that "especially" impacted business travellers, the most profitable segment. The influential International Air Transport Association (IATA) is due to update its traffic and profitability projections as the delegates from the group gathering 350 airlines hold their talks. In December it forecast a record 5.2 billion air journeys in 2025 -- up 6.7 percent from an already unprecedented 2024. It predicted carriers would generate $36.6 billion in cumulative net profit, on revenue exceeding $1 trillion. However, the US president's "Liberation Day" tariff blitz and his administration's stance on issues from immigration to education could throw a spanner in the works. As early as March, the North American air transport market, which represents 23 percent of global traffic, began to decline and several US-based airlines warned they would not meet their financial targets. A study released this month by the World Travel and Tourism Council and Oxford Economics found that the United States was on track to lose some $12.5 billion in revenue from foreign tourists this year owing to worries about travelling to the country. The group, made up of leading travel firms, said this "represents a direct blow to the US economy overall, impacting communities, jobs, and businesses from coast to coast". "While other nations are rolling out the welcome mat, the US government is putting up the 'closed' sign," WTTC president Julia Simpson said. Didier Brechemier, an airline industry expert at Roland Berger, said: "Today, bookings for the North Atlantic are lower than they were at the same time last year." IATA Director General Willie Walsh noted on Thursday "some signs of fragility of consumer and business confidence with continued weakness in the US domestic market and a sharp fall in North American premium class travel". Air transport has for decades benefited from the removal of import taxes, rising living standards -- particularly in Asia -- and open borders, with the number of air trips tripling since 2000. But the return of protectionism is endangering the industrial model of aircraft manufacturers, whose assembly lines mobilise suppliers worldwide, with costs likely to increase, putting more of a burden on carriers. There's good news for carriers, though, with oil prices falling owing to an anticipated slowdown in economic growth. That could help firms reduce their fuel bills -- representing between a quarter and a third of their operational costs -- by hundreds of millions of dollars. Washington's new Republican administration is also fully supporting the development of fossil fuels, in contrast to that of Democratic former president Joe Biden, who subsidised Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Sustainable development "has largely disappeared from the airline industry's immediate priorities", says Jerome Bouchard, a partner at consultants Oliver Wyman. Also likely on the agenda for IATA will be the impact of geopolitical tensions on the industry. India is experiencing explosive growth, with the number of airports and passengers in the world's most populous nation doubling over the past decade, while major airlines IndiGo and Air India have hundreds of aircraft on order. But the country's recent deadly spat with neighbour Pakistan, which saw the two sides impose airspace bans on each other, highlighted the fragility of civil aviation in the face of such upheavals. The row poses an additional complication for connections to Asia, as Russia has banned US and EU aircraft overflights in retaliation for sanctions linked to its invasion of Ukraine.

Centida BI & Analytics Celebrates Over a Decade of Transforming Financial Intelligence and Strategic Decision-Making
Centida BI & Analytics, a Germany-based business intelligence (BI) and analytics consultancy, commemorates over 10 years of delivering measurable value to organizations through its management consulting, advanced data engineering, and strategic technology implementation. Founded in 2014, it has evolved from a small, agile team addressing financial inefficiencies into a globally recognized firm empowering teams with innovative decision-making tools and real-time insights. "This milestone just shows how committed we are to solving complex problems for our clients," says Christian Barte, CEO and Managing Director of Centida. "We've never been interested in offering flashy dashboards or one-off workshops. From day one, we've been combining our team's expertise with robust technical execution. That's why we still stand here today." Centida is known for addressing intricate challenges in financial planning, reporting, and forecasting. It goes beyond conventional BI services, and instead of offering superficial analytics or basic visualization tools, it builds data models, end-to-end planning and reporting architectures, and long-term operational ecosystems tailored to its clientele's needs. Clients consistently choose Centida for its ability to provide strategic insight and technical implementation. These two elements are usually siloed across traditional consulting and information technology (IT) firms. With an international team of professionals who bring backgrounds in finance, IT, mathematics, and C-level experience, Centida's consultants speak the same language as their clients. "Many of our team members are former CFOs or senior finance leaders. They're more than qualified to understand the real-world demands of corporate finance while delivering agile, technology-driven solutions," Barte remarks. Centida's unique approach stems from its inception. The idea for the company was born when Barte and Ilya Fedorkov, CTO and Managing Partner, experienced firsthand the frustration of accessing accurate, timely business data as then-senior leaders in a large telecommunications and IT corporation. Even simple cost management insights required time-consuming processes. By the time reports were generated, they were already outdated. "We knew we needed a faster, more adaptive information system. So we created a model where business intelligence could be agile, reliable, and responsive," Fedorkov remarks. The founders initially built an internal agile data lab, which quickly gained traction for its effectiveness. It evolved into a separate entity, and Centida was born. Barte and Fedorkov had a vision to build and run the technical solutions that would diagnose and solve strategic challenges, bridging a gap in the industry between advisory and delivery. Centida has grown over the years. From classical BI implementations, the company expanded into strategic planning, budgeting, and forecasting. More recently, Centida has applied its capabilities to broader business functions including human resources, marketing, sales, and production. The firm's upward trajectory has been steady. It has achieved consistent revenue growth and has extended its market reach well beyond Europe, now serving clients across North America and Africa. It has also transitioned from being an integrator of planning and reporting solutions to becoming a full-service, end-to-end partner, guiding clients from advisory and implementation to lifecycle management of their analytics platforms. As Centida BI & Analytics celebrates its milestone, it remains grounded in integrity and a commitment to client success, the values that shaped its early days. It looks forward to seeing the firm doubling in size in a few years and intensifying its focus on applied AI in planning and reporting. "Our goal is to lead the charge in practical, user-focused AI applications for financial decision-making," Barte shares. "We want to create AI tools that deliver real-world value. That means complex workflows, identifying savings, and unlocking growth potential for our clients. That's where the future is, and that's where we'll be."

SciTech-Service Oy Celebrates 42 Years of Establishing Innovation in the Bioeconomy Transition
SciTech-Service Oy proudly marks its 42nd anniversary, celebrating over four decades of innovative work at the convergence of science and sustainable technology. Since 1983, this Finland-based firm has been leading in interpreting scientific knowledge into practical eco-conscious solutions that support industries in their shift from fossil-based to bio-based materials. Under the leadership of CEO Dr. Eric Enqvist, the company continues with its clear mission of supporting client innovation by developing process concepts. Filtration Testing at SciTech's Laboratory - Rauma, Finland "We are helping mankind to find a travelable way to a circular bioeconomy," says Dr. Enqvist. "Technology, for us, is the application of scientific knowledge for business purposes. We don't just conduct experiments, we create the missing pieces that allow ideas to become practical and scalable solutions." From its beginnings in the pulp and paper industry to today's advanced focus on cellulosic textiles and bio-based chemicals, SciTech has consistently anticipated and adapted to the global shift in industrial needs. The company's strength lies in its deep understanding of wood chemistry, material science, and process engineering, enabling it to offer custom process concepts that bridge the gap between theoretical science and commercial application. An innovative process for producing wood pulp was one of SciTech's earliest innovations, which now supports the production of millions of tons of pulp annually. This demonstrates the company's ability to turn in-house scientific ideas into impactful, globally adopted technologies and to serve industries worldwide. Today, with two modern laboratories in Helsinki and Rauma, SciTech offers a wide range of services, from biomass fractionation to pulp and paper tests and pilot trials for industrial textile fiber production. These labs play a critical role in providing clients with high-value data while avoiding costly and time-consuming full-scale R&D programs. Instead, SciTech focuses only on essential experiments, making the company a cost-effective yet high-impact partner in innovation. SciTech has consistently outperformed expectations despite its small employee size, often impressing clients. The company has been highly successful in building and evolving its team of experts. The key strength lies in their integrated expertise in chemistry, physics, and process engineering, and in their openness to exploring undiscovered territory. "We are comfortable working with the unexplored factors," Dr. Enqvist explains. "Our process concepts are based on rigorous modeling, mass balances, heat balances, and chemical cycles, so we can present multiple technical options to our clients. They can then choose the most feasible option based on realistic projections." SciTech's work now spans creating a diversified portfolio that supports a range of bio-based industries from developing novel solutions to supporting mill operations. Pilot Equipment SciTech's Laboratory - Rauma, Finland In 2023, SciTech was acquired by the international technology group ANDRITZ, a move that has significantly enhanced its global reach and operational stability. Importantly, SciTech continues to operate independently, preserving the integrity of its client relationships and its neutral, confidential consulting model. According to Director Heikki Hassi, "Becoming an independent part of the ANDRITZ gives SciTech firm ground for further development. The bioeconomy is evolving rapidly, and staying ahead means combining deep scientific knowledge with bold investments." Looking forward, SciTech-Service Oy remains committed to expanding its impact. With the world yet to fully transition from fossil to bio-based economies, Dr. Enqvist believes there is still much work to be done. He says, "We will continue on this journey of helping industries make that shift, step by step, with science as the roadmap."
