“ Over 14 years of experience in accounting practices and working with various practice management software, APS is the most efficient and user friendly. It has definitely increased efficiency in areas of billing including WIP and debtor management and the client database is now an invaluable tool in producing the information required by our practice.

The move to APS Tax product in July 02 has significantly decreased the processing time due to the fantastic layout of the product. Easy to use screens and online help has greatly assisted our users processing.”
Brent Sutton - Partner, D&V Accounting

“ In 2003 we installed Advance Practice Management, a new general ledger system and Advance Practice IQ all in three months. We consolidated five client databases, converted all matter data, trained all staff and did not lose one day of processing along the way. Three months after implementation – billings were up, chargeable time was up. All our problems continue to be small ones.”
Peter Cannan, Pitcher Partners

“ The whole process (of deciding on APS) took 2 years. Initially we delayed our decision due to the fact that APS did not at that time have a Tax product - and because we were waiting for a proposed new system from Sol 6. We actually went through the process of installing Solution 6’s Viztopia product – we were one of the first 3 users in Australia – but after 6 difficult months we took the decision to switch to APS.”
Greg Ralph – Partner, Gould Ralph

“ APS is spot-on for all size offices… The vendor must be focussed and APS does this very well. APS (Brian Armstrong, and Fiona Armstrong) are exceptional communicators – they are always able to answer any questions. The trust factor was built in by this. I was able to put Brian in front of PKF’s National Board – whereas I allowed no other provider to do this….. APS knows the accounting business, the issues and the market….. It’s a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’ you are going to switch to APS.”
Nick Pile – National IT Partner - PKF

“ I just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know that the persistence of Samar (APS consultant) in solving a little driver issue we have had with tax is encouraging. Whilst the easiest answer to the problem would have been to blame hardware and put the problem back in our laps, Samar persisted over a number of weeks until the solution has now been found.

I have NO doubt your major competitor would have taken the easy way out. Its times like this that I know I have made the correct decision in changing to APS.

Once again .. Thank you and your team!”
Tom Coogan - Coogans Pty Ltd, Chartered Accountant
