Our staff is comprised of a diverse mix of individuals with a variety of backgrounds and expertise. We have CPA's, technology specialists and programmers on staff. Several of the staff hold multiple Masters degrees in accounting, information systems and business. Combined, the staff has over 50 years of experience in implementing and supporting accounting information systems.

Overview of Products and Services

Since our inception, our business plan has been comprised of three major components; back office accounting information systems, custom application development and information systems consulting. Over the years, there have been many changes in technology and the marketplace that have occurred. During this time, we have stayed focused on our business plan. Following is a brief overview of the products and services we currently provide.

  • Accounting information systems
    The firm will guide clients in the evaluation, selection, implementation and support of several of the leading mid-market back office accounting systems. We are an authorized Business Partner or Consultant for the following products:

    Microsoft Business Solutions
    Sage PFW
    Sage Abra HRMS

    In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on integrating front office sales force automation and customer service systems with the back office accounting information system. Accordingly, we offer several products that integrate with the above accounting information systems. The firm is an authorized Business Partner for:

    Adapt by Adapt Software Applications
    Liaison CRM by Liaison Software Corp.
    Microsoft CRM

  • Custom application development
    As clients become more sophisticated and the range of technology broadens, it is increasingly important for diverse systems to share data and communicate with each other. To aid clients with this need, we have experienced technology specialists and programmers on staff to develop custom interfaces and conversion routines, entire applications and custom reports. We have developed systems utilizing Rbase, Microsoft Access, SQL Server and Visual Basic.
  • Information systems consulting
    Many small and mid-sized clients don't have the in-house technical resources to stay abreast of the changes in technology and have contracted with us to assist them with their technology plans and infrastructure. Typically clients need guidance in understanding local area network technology, hardware requirements for specific software applications, remote communication options, operating system fundamentals, hosting options and Internet/e-commerce related questions. Through our internal resources and relationships with other consulting firms we can deliver a complete consulting service to our clients in a wide variety of situations.
