Partnership with Firm's 550 Franchises Enables Accountants

More Effectively than Ever
San Mateo, CA- July 11, 2000 - NetLedger, Inc., the
leading application service provider (ASP) that enables
small businesses to run their companies totally online,

of accounting and tax franchises in the nation.
In accordance with the terms of the agreement, Century
Small Business Solutions will immediately begin a phased
rollout of NetLedger's Web-based accounting solution
to its 550 U.S. franchise units. Each participating
franchise will be equipped with a hyperlink on its Web
site that enables their small-business clients to quickly
and easily set up an account with NetLedger. Once on
board, both the accounting professional and the client
have easy and secure online access to the client's records,
making it convenient to work together and share real-time
information.
"The endorsement of such a large and well-respected
group of accounting entities is both an honor and a
tremendous opportunity for NetLedger," said Bill

an entry to its thousands of small business clients
throughout the country who can benefit from our feature-rich
Web-based accounting solution."

per month per user, which includes controlled access
by the business' accountant.
NetLedger's accounting solution will be integrated
with Century Small Business Solutions' other financial
tools to streamline the overall record-keeping process.
NetLedger has also established a dedicated telephone/email
support team for this customer group. Each franchise
accounting group has the opportunity to participate
in a revenue-sharing program based upon the number of
clients it signs up for NetLedger.
"NetLedger will become one of the key accounting
tools that Century Small Business Solutions offers to
its accounting franchise members," said David Bethea,
president and CEO of Century Small Business Solutions.
