A small firm that stays

An accountant who builds software

Doug passed the CPA exam in 1990 and began his career at Price Waterhouse, auditing companies including Walt Disney, Tupperware and Baxter Industries. Auditing teaches a particular habit of mind: you do not accept a number because the system produced it. You tie it back to something.

He started his own consulting practice in 1999 and has been building database and web systems for small businesses and state agencies ever since — bringing the financial side of that background to every system he builds. When we migrate twenty years of a client's records, they get reconciled: totals before, totals after, and an explanation for every difference.

That is unusual, and it is the single thing most likely to matter to you. Plenty of developers can build something that looks right. Fewer can prove it is.

Who we work with

Small businesses, and the nonprofits and associations that behave like them — organisations big enough to need real systems but too small to employ the people who would build and run them. In practice we become that department.

Our clients tend to stay a very long time. Several have been with us more than a decade; one for more than twenty-five years. We would rather have a small number of relationships we look after properly than a large number we service.

Where we are

Tallahassee, Florida. Our clients are across the state and, in one case, across the country. Most of the work happens remotely, but we are glad to sit down with you if you're nearby — and for a first conversation about something substantial, we usually prefer it.
