At Blum Shapiro Consulting, we know that timely, accurate accounting information is the pulse of your business. Therefore, your accounting software, support, and procedures need to reflect this vital importance.
By virtue of our direct affiliation with Blum Shapiro, the largest regional accounting and auditing firm based in Connecticut, we know how CPAs, internal accountants, bookkeepers and executives use these applications; and we know how to optimize these packages for you. Typically, we follow these 5 steps:
Conversion
We suggest, set up, and customize the appropriate accounting and management modules to make the most sense for your business. We can also explore the various alternatives to either convert existing data, or start from beginning balances as appropriate for your unique needs. We are knowledgeable about a wide variety of products and work with you to provide a complete business solution, not just software installation.
Integration
In this step, Blum Shapiro provides technology planning, software selection, systems implementation, and project management services. We can identify time and cost saving integration opportunities to and from industry-specific software products.
Training
All of our training programs are uniquely designed to accommodate the way you will utilize the software. For a list of our current and on-going training sessions, visit www.blumshapiro.com/news/events.asp.
Ongoing Support
We provide tailored support on-site or in our offices. And, whenever you encounter a software problem, we use all of our resources to find a solution as quickly as possible.
Process Enhancement
As your accounting and management information needs change, you will upgrade and possibly even customize your software. We help you update your internal processes to best maximize your ongoing software investment.
In addition, Blum Shapiro partners with two top software suppliers, providing leading-edge software, training, implementation and operation services. These suppliers include:
