Who Should Attend

Year after year, The Sleeter Group's Conference attracts hundreds of the top accounting experts in the world who may also be in the business of providing software and hardware consulting services for small businesses. This annual gathering is the premier event of the year for the small business accounting, consulting, and add-on developer community.

If you provide:

  • Accounting services and writeup
  • Outsourced accounting or tax services
  • Tax preparation using software
  • QuickBooks and other accounting software consulting
  • IT consulting for small business
  • Business process consulting
  • Integration of add-on software and hardware into accounting systems

...then this Conference is exactly right for you.

Attendees come to discover best practices, network with colleagues, and learn new technologies to "stay ahead of the curve." All are welcome, including Sleeter Consultants (members of the Sleeter Group Consultants Network); those interested in joining our network of over 500 consultants across the U.S., Canada, and abroad; and other accounting and consulting professionals.

Here are the top three reasons why you should attend this conference:

  1. Conference topics are always timely. Each year we look at the challenges you face in your work every day, and offer solutions for overcoming those challenges. We also share up-and-coming trends from thought leaders, giving you insights that help you do your work and serve your clients better.

  2. This Conference is the only event presented by an independent expert community focused on small business accounting software and consulting. All other shows are produced by vendors, magazines, or state CPA societies. The vendor shows provide great information about a particular vendor's products and adjunct solutions, but the audience only gets one vendor's point of view because no competing products are highlighted. The society shows provide a wide variety of information, but none are focused on small business consulting issues, tools, software, and best practices. Our audience is growing and very targeted in what they do. They are experts in accounting, software, and business processes. They focus on consulting, implementation, and training.

  3. This Conference presents the whole gamut of solutions available to the small business consultant, and our presenters are the top experts in the country. Virtually every major player in the small business technology area is represented, including Intuit, Sage, Thomson, dozens of members of the Intuit Developer Network, and other independent software and service vendors. The Conference is a great opportunity for attendees to discover new technologies, network with colleagues, and plan for the coming year.

Another reason for principals or partners of CPA firms, VARs, and consulting firms to attend is to learn about business development opportunities, practice management and industry trends, and marketing best practices.

Conference presenters include top technical experts, industry executives from small and large technology companies, and keynote speakers who bring us their perspectives on a wide range of issues.
