"During the early evolution of computerized accounting systems for small business, computers and accounting software were slow and cumbersome to use. Despite the weightiness of the set-up and training, I knew that this was where my passion lay: to make the system work when all others had given up and put the computer in the corner to collect dust.

 "I have kept this passion through the years and am still driven to see projects through to completion. I still love what I do: Using technology to help clients solve problems and work more efficiently.

 "Some companies that sell computerized accounting systems do exactly that - they sell you a system and not much more. The services those companies provide are often a few days of set-up time, a technical manual, and a bill.

 "I don't do business like that. My goal is to make sure that your system helps you to work more efficiently, which includes training you to use the system to better manage your business."
