Profile:	Barsa & Associates was founded in 1987 by president and CEO Jo Barsa. Jo recognized immediately a lack of alternatives for emerging businesses looking to reduce overhead in their accounting departments. For that reason Barsa & Associates began developing innovative outsource accounting services models for emerging businesses. Clients quickly recognized the many advantages, significant cost savings and greater flexibility associated with outsourcing back-office accounting functions and Barsa quickly became an industry leader. Jo also recognized the importance of the relationship between accounting and information technology. As changing technologies began to take a more significant role in delivering superior outsource accounting services, Barsa & Associates expanded our offerings to include technology-based financial accounting, business management and IT systems. This expansion led to the formation of Barsa Technology Solutions, Inc., which now offers a wide array of products coupled with consultative and system integration services that help growing companies manage their critical business systems. Together, these two companies provide affordable alternatives to emerging businesses looking to enhance their accounting and/or information technology infrastructure. Barsa & Associates CPAs works primarily with start-up and early growth stage companies to reduce the cost and stress of managing complex accounting functions. We develop accounting infrastructure at lower costs by providing full-time support on an ongoing and as needed basis. Our unique outsource accounting business model allows us to customize standard business processes to meet the specific requirements of any business. By outsourcing these functions to Barsa, companies can focus on their core growth activities.

Other:	The Barsa Approach to Customer Service The right business application can make a huge difference in a company’s ability to cut costs, improve productivity, increase revenue, manage employees and better serve their customers. Barsa employs a full-service approach for the implementation and continued support of the business applications we recommend to best resolve a company’s challenges. These services include: * Needs Assessment * Product Selection * Implementation * Training * Configuration * Post Implementation Support * Hardware and Infrastructure Support Barsa’s commitment is to help identify and recommend the best application to address individual company’s business issues. Additionally, we configure these solutions to fit existing system configurations or design a more appropriate system if necessary. Our engagements are designed to instill confidence in Barsa as a service provider and confidence in your staff knowing they have the best solution on the market to meet their challenges. Our post implementation support ensures that once the application is up and running, it stays that way. Barsa will even go as far as recommending a competitor’s product should this genuinely benefit your company the most. Needs Assessment Every Barsa engagement starts with a thorough needs assessment. Our extensive evaluation checklist helps us better understand and evaluate the business. It is imperative we understand a company’s business, their mission and corporate goals as well as current business system challenges, which include current software and hardware systems, current levels of infrastructure, budgets, timelines and any technical support issues. From this input, we gain a level of insight required to recommend the right software and/or hardware system to overcome these challenges. When assessing hardware options, our initial tool is the Barsa Hardware Evaluation Questionnaire. Product Selection As a Value Added Reseller for the finest products on the market, Barsa offers an extensive array of solutions in these areas: * Accounting, Distribution, Manufacturing and Project Accounting * Customer Relationship Management (CRM) * IT Management and Office Automation Applications These product and service offerings include both software and hardware applications, each may be purchased individually or as part of an integrated Barsa solution. Whether in accounting, CRM or IT, our certified professionals work closely with your team to identify the right products to match your company’s specific needs. Because Barsa offers such a diverse array of software and hardware applications, [for a full listing of our product offerings, click here] we never have to match a company’s requirements to one particular product or Barsa solution. In fact, if Barsa cannot match these requirements to a software solution we provide, we will recommend a competitor’s product. At Barsa, our primary goal is solving business challenges with the most cost-effective solutions. Implementation We recognize that a successful implementation begins long before we actually install a new software or hardware application. A successful implementation also continues after we have completed the initial installation. Every client receives a detailed implementation plan that: * Identifies project goals * Lists key implementation steps with dates for completion and milestones * Identifies any and all necessary training components * Identifies all primary contacts within Barsa should questions arise * Outlines recommended changes to existing configurations that will enhance the implementation At Barsa, we do not consider the implementation complete until our applications are up and running to the client’s complete satisfaction. Training No product implementation can succeed without proper training. For that reason, Barsa provides complete training with every application we support. We offer a combination of customized training routines including: * On-Site Support * BarsaConnect – Remote Access Support * Regularly Scheduled Webinars * Regularly Scheduled Classroom Seminars * Monthly User Group Meetings * Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 Videotape Training Our implementation specialists are fully certified by the product manufacturers and have years of hands-on experience using each product in an actual work environment. We are committed to making sure that companies have the ability to use each Barsa-installed application with confidence and ease.
