Accounting Consulting
Mackey Business Solutions, LLC is committed to helping you get the most from your QuickBooks accounting programs. Whether you are using Enterprise Solutions or QuickBooks Online, our primary goal is helping you achieve single data entry. Labor is a huge expense and the more times the same data needs to be entered, the more likely an error will occur, not to mention the time and additional expense to locate and fix the errors. We provide expert assistance with advanced accounting needs like inventory, advanced reporting, support after sale, accounting file design, profit/loss & balance sheet troubleshooting, and continued advanced training needs. In addition to being a certified solution provider directly for Intuit and being able to offer the best service and pricing on QuickBooks products, all our consulting is completely customized to what your needs are. Sales is not our focus so we will never push you into a specific accounting platform or 3rd party plug-in because that is what we sell; we will guide you through what is available so you can make informed decisions about program options, and then we will help you implement that program. And we’ll be sure you and your employees have the proper training and continued support to use the program for many years into the future.

Accounting Program Conversion
Changing accounting systems is not an average “Do It Yourself” job. The accounting staff is typically maxed out with full time jobs keeping the business running and the increased pressure and workload often result in poorly executed and sometimes failed conversions altogether. We have extensive knowledge with all types of accounting programs and we have special data processing programs and high speed solid state drive computers designed to export and import massive amounts of data far beyond the capabilities of the standard small business workstations. And since our conversions are 100 percent custom to your specific needs, your accounting file will be set-up the right way from the start! We understand the process and can help establish realistic timelines and help keep everyone on track to fulfill the objectives. If you are currently using an accounting program that is expensive and difficult to use, lacks important functionality, or impossible to find qualified accounting employees and/or CPA’s familiar with how to use it, migrating your accounting system to QuickBooks might be the best answer.
Job Cost Accounting
Contractors and related businesses can use QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions for cost accounting and finally know if they’re making a profit on bid jobs? Enterprise Solutions is a viable option versus expensive and complex programs like American Contractor and Sage Timberline!

If you are one of those guys that keeps it all in your head, and/or have project managers that do, how will you scale your business, or be sure the business can operate if you or they are unavailable? The very nature of bidding conspires against making it an easy task. Being awarded a job along with the necessary budgeting is intricate and dynamic because work conditions change and material costs fluctuate. We can show you how to use cost accounting that will not only give you a leg up over your competitors, but help make you more profitable with the management reporting you need to make real impacting decisions, not guesses.
