Needs Assessment
Gaining a clear understanding of your business is the first important step in evaluating and identifying the right accounting package for your organization. Our consultants assess the business needs you have today and help you anticipate those that may arise down the road.
With an extensive "checklist" in hand, we document the general business tasks your accounting software must perform day in and day out. We review your purchasing, inventory and sales processes to determine your general accounting and reporting needs. We also review any special requirements of your business such as customer relationship management, e-commerce, foreign currency conversion, job costing, project management, sales force automation and work order management. |

Software Evaluation
The modular design of many of today's accounting software programs allows us to find a custom solution to meet your needs. We perform a side by side comparison of the most suitable software packages. We outline not only the benefits, but also the limitations of these packages as they relate to the needs we've defined for your business.

Budget Preparation
Understanding your budget expectations allows us to make the appropriate software recommendations. We consider only those applications that meet your needs while remaining within your financial boundaries. As we prepare the budget, we also consider such criteria as the number of concurrent users required, additional hardware needs, networking or telecom requirements and personnel requirements. |

Vendor Management
Working with multiple vendors can be a time-consuming and laborious process. We ease this burden by submitting requests for proposals, collecting vendor quotes and managing vendor negotiations to ensure a favorable contract. |
