Our Approach
Processes
The best plans begin with the end in mind. We start by learning how the business works – what needs measured, what buttons to push, and how company leaders need to interact with data. From there, we design and implement a software solution to meet those needs, using modern, cloud-based software platforms that directly integrate with each other.
Platforms
Data is only useful if it’s accurate AND timely. In a growth-stage business, what happened 60 days ago is no longer useful. Therefore, we utilize modern cloud-based software with deep integration options to capture data and automate processes.
People
Even great systems need people to manage them and utilize the data they produce. We put an entire team in place, from Bookkeepers and Accounting Managers who keep everything up to date, to Software Specialists who continually xxx to CFO’s to take the strategic vision and put numbers and goals to it.
