The Sleeter Group’s 2010 Next Generation Accounting Solutions Conference

The Sleeter Group conference attracts top experts from around the country in accounting software consulting, accounting, tax preparation, and integration of add-on software and hardware into accounting systems. This conference is the premier event of the year for the small business accounting consultant and add-on developer community. Attendees come to learn best practices, network with colleagues, and learn new technologies and practice management techniques to "stay ahead of the curve."

Many attendees are members of the Sleeter Group Consultants Network of over 600 accounting professionals across the US, Canada, and beyond. The average audience member has over 350 small business clients who use QuickBooks and other accounting and business management products. Their clients are small business owners who rely heavily on their advice to determine which software and hardware solutions they should purchase, and the consultant acts as the outside partner for keeping the business systems running smoothly.

Many audience members concentrate on software consulting only, while some also prepare financial statements and tax returns, and a growing minority also helps with hardware selection and installation. Most of them turn to outside firms to assist their clients with computer support and IT issues, but a growing percentage of the audience is also in the business of IT consulting.
