Technology Consulting

“Accounting through Technology”

We have been doing technology consulting for many years.  We started with mainframe computers, selecting “modules” that sometimes cost $100,000 or more, so the company could do Accounts Receivable processing.

Over the years, the hardware and the software have become much less expensive.  Today, a software purchase of QuickBooks Pro can do on a $400 computer what the $100,000 accounts receivable package could do on the mainframe, except that QuickBooks runs in real-time.  Wow, all that in a little over twenty-five years.

When I started at Mobil in the late 1970s, we did not even have computers at our location, housing over 275 employees.  We would fax (analog) our journal entries to the home office for them to post to the general ledger.

Over the years, we have been certified on over thirteen microcomputer-based software packages.

In today’s small business environment, Intuit dominates the market.  Recognizing this, we have been certified in QuickBooks for more than 25 years.  We feel that today’s businesses can participate in the accounting process, so our knowledge of QuickBooks can help to meet this goal.

Today, we are a part of the Intuit Reseller Program and the QuickBooks Proadvisor Program, certified in QuickBooks Enterprise, and all versions of QuickBooks. 

Enterprise is a package that will allow for up to thirty users and will allow for mid-market-sized businesses to have many features and options at a fraction of the cost of most other mid-market packages.  If a client is on QuickBooks and is feeling a pinch, maybe upgrading to Enterprise could be just the right solution.  If a client is on a mid-market package like MAS 90 or ACCPAC, or Great Plains and is not using the full package and is faced with renewal fees, maybe Enterprise would be a wise decision to switch to.

We are interested in getting our clients the software solution that fits them best.  We are a part of Intuit, so we can know more about the products that are most used by our clients.

If a client is on another package and they are happy, then we are very happy to provide accounting services to them and to get them optimized on the system they have.
