Calling for a private jet should be as easy as calling for a car ride … if you’ve got the funds to do it, that is. And thanks to JetSmarter, you certainly won’t be at a loss when it comes to your supply. Earlier this week, the private jet company announced an exclusive strategic digital partnership with TMC Jets, making JetSmarter the exclusive digital distribution channel for TMC Jets’ fleet.

Now, with the touch of a button, you’ll be able to book one of the aircraft in TMC’s inventory — because why call an Uber when you can call a private plane?

Promising JetSmarter members same-or-better pricing than anywhere else in the market (you’re clearly price sensitive when you’re asking a jet to pick you up), TMC Jets will allow customers access to the Hawker 400XP and 800XP fleet. And although private planes seem, well, out of reach, the hope is that the combination of shared and charter flight options with mobile app technology could make for easier and perhaps more widespread bookings among the traveling public.

“This partnership is a testament to the rapid growth of our company, and the demand of our services. With TMC Jets, we will be able to ensure we meet the needs of our clients by providing them with unsurpassed private jet travel options around the clock,” said Sergey Petrossov, CEO of JetSmarter.

Scott Wise, CEO of TMC Jets, echoed these sentiments, noting, “What JetSmarter has done in the digital marketplace has been nothing short of amazing. We’re all excited to join forces with Sergey and his team to broaden the experience of flying private.”

So if you’re looking to break your way into the private jet space, you may want to check out JetSmarter, a mobile platform that promises to drive down prices, create availability, and generally help you live the life you want miles above Earth’s surface.

Intuit QuickBooks summer savings have us excited for bookkeeping and more

Intuit QuickBooks Online and Payroll Indepence Day deals used by business owner

Being honest, accounting, bookkeeping, and various administrative tasks aren't exactly what most people would call exciting, even if they own a business. It's something you have to do, but not that you necessarily want to do. But you absolutely have to stay on top of it; otherwise, things could get out of hand later, like when you're filing taxes or trying to calculate expenses. As a leader in small business fintech, Intuit QuickBooks is helping over 7 million customers worldwide do precisely that. From a startup to scaling up, the Intuit QuickBooks ecosystem delivers products and services that are a core component of small business growth. Accounting, payroll, payments, capital, and even marketing assistance via Mailchimp are just a few examples of what you can expect from a QuickBooks subscription. Thanks to its current Summer Sale, you can save a never-before-seen 70% off Intuit QuickBooks plans. That offer and these prices excite us for something that, typically, wouldn't be considered exciting.

These Intuit QuickBooks Summer Savings are unprecedented
This is the first time we've ever seen prices this low, and it may actually be the only time it happens. Time will tell, but the point is that you can save big on QuickBooks plans that you need for your business. The deal offers 70% off QuickBooks Online for your first three months. With Simple Start -- the base plan -- you get your first three months for just $9 per month instead of $30. That saves you $21 monthly for $63 across your initial three months of service. By comparison, the Essentials tier is only $18 per month instead of $60, and the Plus tier is only $27 per month instead of $90. If you want to splurge and go with Advanced, it's only $60 monthly for your first three months instead of $20h. Those are some incredible savings.

Online team collaboration is the new norm as companies spread their workforce across the globe. Gone are the days of primarily relying on group emails, as teams can now work together in real time using an instant chat-style interface, no matter where they are.

Using Microsoft Teams affords video conferencing, real-time discussions, document sharing and editing, and more for companies and corporations. It's one of many collaboration tools designed to bring company workers together in an online space. It’s not designed for communicating with family and friends, but for colleagues and clients.
