There's nothing worse than playing the game but not knowing the score. How can you measure your agency without knowing where it's been? How easy is it to compare financials? Not easy -- but it should be!

How many different spreadsheets do you have tracking what's going on? Do you spend a lot of time updating them to reflect what's happened during the week? Or maybe you only manage to update your spreadsheets once a month, at the end of the month, so you can do the month-end close. That's really too late to respond to issues that needed addressing as they happened.

How can you be proactive with your spreadsheets in one place, General Ledger in another place, production people updating schedules in their own calendar software, and accounting people entering A/P and cutting checks from their bookkeeping software? Can't we all just get along ... together?

Analysis and accountability -- all in one

Whether you're still using a manual system or six different software to do the work of one, you know what you need. The answer is an integrated database; one software that seamlessly unites job accounting, analysis, and accountability with estimating, scheduling, and billing.

Where do these different elements combine to produce detailed and meaningful reporting for all departments? In only one software, Clients & Profits.

Clients & Profits software is designed to replace your existing accounting systems, including manual ones. It is a complete and sophisticated accounting software that does everything you need to do -- whether you're the A/P clerk or the CFO.

Everyone shares the database from their own computer, which means Accounting can keep their PCs and Production can keep their Macs. It also means that AEs can look up costs on their own jobs and the owner can get the Cash Flash report every hour without having to track down the CFO or Traffic Manager.
