Mission Statement:

Our mission is to deliver useful information about technology and accounting systems to the CPA community and business community through our lectures and published web sites. We strive to deliver up to date and accurate information regarding the top accounting software products and technologies in an unbiased manner. We’ve worked hard to eliminate the marketing hype and sales puff in order to provide you with the relevant information you need to properly evaluate technology or an accounting software package and select the best products for your business. To keep our content current, accurate, and honest, we’ve recruited several dozen of the world’s top consultants to make sure that our content is fair and impartial. If these experts disagree with any statements we make, they have the rights to edit our content and offer opposing points of view. (click here to see our team of experts) In return, we are dedicated to making sure that their content is fair and balanced as well. If we disagree with any statements made by our co-editor experts, we have the rights to edit their content and offer our opposing points of view.

Here at Accounting Software Advisor (ASA), we emphasize people over companies. This is why you will always see the author’s name, picture, and a link to their personal bio associated with all opinions, data and information published on this web site. We hope you appreciate our commitment to maintaining a fair and balanced web site.

Disclosure Statement:

Please be aware that we are not independent with respect to many of the products featured in this web site. Over the years we have developed relationships and provided consulting services to many of the top technology companies and accounting software publishers. These consulting engagements include:

Product reviews.
Competitive evaluations.
Product Design Recommendations.
Lectures delivered to publisher’s management, staff, VARs, and prospects.
Keynote lectures at annual technology and accounting software conferences.
Advice on marketing programs.
Preparation of white papers
Etc.

The consulting services we render to the publishers, and our close relationships with them are a double-edged sword. On one hand, they help us stay current in a fast changing environment. On the other hand, we must be careful to "tell it like it is" regardless of these relationships. Our reputation as a trustworthy source of accounting software information depends on it.

The editor and assistant editors of this web site do not sell any accounting software packages. However, some of the ASA consultants who proof-read and in some cases co-edit our content are resellers for their respective products; and therefore, have a built in bias towards their products.

Disclaimer Statement:

While we read every accounting software article we can find, visit every accounting software booth we walk by, and talk to every accounting software company we possibly can, there are still many, many accounting software products that we have never seen and know nothing about. We do not pretend to know all the packages out there and we freely admit that there may be some truly great packages out there of which we are unaware. Accounting Software Advisor, LLC makes no representations regarding the accuracy or timeliness of the information contained in this web site. Products change, prices change, features change, and new software bugs are found everyday. You should confirm the information contained in this web site with another source before relying on any information contained herein.
