Many promises are made in the heat of making a sale, including fast accounting system software installation. So, just what constitutes “fast?” And, how does a QuickBooks® migration to Microsoft Dynamics GP, one of the most common accounting software moves, stack up in this department?
While every company’s requirements and roadblocks are different, there is one sure way to establish some clarity around such issues as a QuickBooks accounting services migration: get feedback from someone who’s been there and done that.
Jeff Skeen, founder of Titan Fitness, saw his company grow from 6 to 1,000 employees in six weeks, as the company acquired two health club chains and added 14 locations. This necessitated an efficient and rapid accounting software transition out of QuickBooks.
We worked with Skeen to implement a Microsoft Dynamics GP coup—delivering and deploying a Fortune 500-sized accounting solution in 60 days versus the six months typically anticipated when performed by a Big 6 accounting firm. This accounting system software easily will accommodate expected growth of the company to 4,000-plus employees in more than 60 locations over a five-year period.
What’s more, the price was one-third lower than comparable accounting services installations. Skeen expressed his satisfaction with the entire process, noting, ““I was very skeptical, then surprised. I figured I was missing something. Then, I was thrilled.”
“Wizard Productivity Systems got us up to speed and saved us on basically everything needed for a back office of six people to oversee 1,000 employees. They helped with application and license cost, training, implementation, chart of accounts setup, getting product on servers, selecting a hosting facility,” Skeen adds. “Our investors were surprised that we had put together a management team with a Fortune 500 infrastructure so quickly and cost effectively.”
Here’s a concrete example of the type of concrete time and price accounting services results that can be generated for clients. Since definitive information about these critical results typically requires some digging online, we wanted to give you some accounting software info that didn’t require a shovel.
