What are you doing to make a difference in the profession, your community, the world?
We are officially starting a non-profit organization so that we can provide scholarships to those in the accounting community to help people entering into our industry – not CPA, not tax or audit, but business change management and organization. There is no courses for what we do and even the most senior accountants struggle with the concepts of system structure inclusive of accounting principles. We hope to change that!

What the heck is EOS? We have our business set up on EOS/Traction and it has made all the difference.

We will have continued growth while providing solid work life balance for our team. We will push into the top 50 VARs and expand into 2 more products.
