The cost and value of Backroom Management

“Backroom Management has the best customer service in their industry! On top of that, BMS helped me decrease my bookkeeping costs by 50% this year, and with new technology they have just implemented, I anticipate another 50% decrease this coming year! The combination of their easy-to-use software and amazing customer service have saved my clients and me over a hundred hours of work and given me time to focus on growing my clients’ businesses.”
— Tad Griffith, Financial Consultant (Denver, CO)

“Thank you for Backroom Management. Previous to converting to your system, I was using QuickBooks Pro Contractor edition; as a general contractor, I have specific needs when it comes to cost accounting. QuickBooks was woefully inadequate in addressing this issue. Since I converted to Backroom over a year ago, I’ve been able to watch my construction costs more efficiently and my bottom line has increased by 5%. It is so simple that I only need a part-time employee working only a few hours per week to keep on top of my numbers AND run a more successful business. I have used different systems over the years, but Backroom Management is by far the best system I have ever used. I would recommend this system to anyone serious about running their company in an efficient and professional manner. Thank you for designing a system with small business and contractors in mind!”
— Eric Dille, B & D Professional Builders

A professional business consultant’s opinion of Backroom Management

“After consulting for QuickBooks for more than 12 years and working with hundreds of clients, I am excited to add Backroom as an option that I can suggest to my clients who are serious about growing their businesses.

“I was immediately impressed with the features that make running business easier and more effective: the meaningful dashboard, the 7 Key Numbers, logical and streamlined data entry and reporting, unlimited/customizable users, an effective and powerful cloud solution that can be accessed from anywhere. These are all of the key features I felt were holding many of my clients back. It was as if Backroom reached into my subconscious and extracted and solved my greatest frustrations with QuickBooks.

“Will I recommend Backroom to all of my clients? Yes. Will many go with the what everyone else is using and will they try to save a few dollars by buying the next version of QuickBooks? Yes. But I know that those clients who are serious about growing their business and recognize the power that effective and accurate financial tracking gives to a business will also recognize Backroom as the greatest tool in their arsenal and the most cost effective decision in building their infrastructure.”
– Kari Moore, QB Solutions and Training, LLC

The immediate benefit of a 7 Key Numbers Business Tune-Up

“I met with Backroom Management for a business tune-up on Friday. In one hour, I learned more about running my business than I did in two years. In a few minutes, they isolated what would help my business, created a break-even analysis, and then helped me determine my goals for 2011. I highly recommend this to any business that is serious about being successful.”

– Jim Gardner, Exterior Solutions Plus, Inc

“Dear Jeff, I wanted to write to tell you the success I have had since our Business Tune-Up meeting. I appreciated how you challenged me on the approach and message I had been utilizing with my target clients. Since our meeting, I have had two opportunities to present W. Garnett & Associates to potential clients needing Human Resources support, and I was about to close both clients on the value of our HR service offerings. Thanks for your help and recommendations.”

– Wes Garnett, President/CEO, W. Garnett & Associates

Applying the 7 Key Numbers to an actual business environment

“We’ve been using Backroom Management and Jeff Prager’s extensive experience in business, economics, and business coaching since 2008. On the surface, aligning the different divisions of a growing organization sounds simple. However, to the seasoned business executive, it requires much more thought, planning, and monitoring. By using the 7 Key Numbers and simple planning techniques, we’ve been able to better align the objectives of the organization from the top down. The simplicity of the methods used promotes the constant communication and feedback necessary to attain accountability at all levels of the organization so that the overall goals, as established by the CEO, are met.”

– Jim Chandler, CFA, Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer

The power of “anywhere access” to your financials

“I’ve been using Backroom Management for months now to manage my entire law practice. Recently, I was not completely prepared for a client meeting because of a previous appointment that went late. In the parking lot, just before the meeting, I was able to pull up all the data I needed from Backroom Management just by using my web-enabled mobile phone. The meeting went perfectly and I was saved from embarrassment and potentially having to reschedule.”
— Jason Webb, Registered Patent Attorney, Webb IP Law Group

128-bit security and peace-of-mind

“Serving the IT industry and maintaining high-end accounting systems for 20 years as a network manager, you can imagine I’ve seen quite a few security nightmares in my time. Naturally, I’m skeptical when someone presents a web-based solution to anything. I have full confidence recommending Backroom Management to my clients, as your five-way security approach covers everything I look for in a truly secure web-based system.”
— Jeff Miller, JTM Consulting, Inc.

Financial expertise and our systems-focused approach

“I have had the opportunity to refer Backroom Management to several clients for help with financial challenges. Their process is simple, fast, and unique. They have a clear understanding of the challenges small and medium companies face, and in every case have done great work. Backroom Management makes business planning, cash flow, and understanding financial information easy. I highly recommend them.”
— Mike Bayes

“As new business owners, we were struggling to do everything ourselves, let alone do it well. Backroom Management helped us develop effective financial strategies and a solid business plan. Now we’re growing fast with a lot less stress. Knowing we can count on the Backroom Management team has me sleeping better at night!”
— Dawnella Johnson, Owner, Denver Diet Center

“As a small business in a declining market we needed help. The experts at Backroom Management analyzed our financials, discovered our weak-points and created a total strategy that really works. With good cash flow management, efficient operations, and our business plan, we are growing rapidly and profitably. The best part is we have confidence in our business and ourselves.”
— R. Adam Feuerstein, President, Polarity Electric

“The ability to trust our books and understand our numbers has made all the difference. Backroom Management’s help creating a solid strategy has made our dreams of financing a reality. The ability to project our cash requirements has allowed us to accelerate our sales program, recruit better people and grow the company beyond expectation. I wholeheartedly recommend Backroom Management.”
— Eric Dille, Owner, BND Homes

Our professional setup, training, and customer service

“As a newer company, it was crucial to work with a company we trust. Your level of service and attention to detail has been outstanding. We are very pleased with Backroom Management and can say without reservation, that we will recommend your services.”
— Jared Carlson, President, Carlson Homes Inc.

“Thank you for all of your help making the business a success. I would never buy or sell a business without a company like Backroom Management on my team!”
— Steve Sorensen, President, Inlitein Leadership

Switching to Backroom Management (say goodbye to QuickBooks!)

“Better accounting information would help any company make smarter decisions and increase their bottom line. However, the software available to mid to small size companies doesn’t help with decision making. QuickBooks is often used only as a garbage can to transfer raw financial information to their accountant. With their 7 Key Numbers, Backroom Management is a complete accounting information system that gives the user the tools to proactively manage their business.”
— Justin Farber

“Until moving to Backroom Management, I hadn’t looked at my accounting system in years. My pseudo-bookkeeper entered things I gave to her as best she could and I would sign a tax return at the end of the year after I paid my CPA to clean up the mess. None of the canned reports in QuickBooks provided me with the one report I can get through Backroom Management in less than five minutes. And I run that one almost every day to know where I stand with leads, sales, conversion rates and other key numbers that help me plan for the coming week or month. With Backroom Management, I was able to throw all my Excel spreadsheets out the window and easily monitor the profitability of every project down to the task and contractor level. 2010 will be much different since I can now actually see where the real money opportunities are.”
— Marty Dickinson, HereNextYear, Inc.

“Many businesses find QuickBooks to be so complicated, baffling, and frustrating that they are forced to use CPAs and bookkeepers in order make sense of it all. That seems counter-productive, but it does help the accountants and bookkeepers keep their clients over time.”
— Scott Lippitt – Certified Business/Executive Coach & Master Franchisee for Colorado

Brett Harward is a speaker, an author, and CEO and Chief Business Alchemist of Manifest Management Services. Here’s what he has to say about Backroom Management.

“I just wanted to drop you a short note to thank you, Alecia, & Anthony for some great insight at the … seminar. I actually walked away with more than I hoped to gain; in particular, a confirmation of the benefits of focusing on potential customers & vendors who would benefit most from our services. With some great ideas on a stronger focus on specific clientele, which your group had emphasized, I feel your seminar has had a positive impact within my position. I look forward to reading your book when it is finished and wish you and your team the best.”
— Joey Herrmann, All Dry

“The critical information Jeff Prager brought to our meeting pulled back the veil of mystery on what business owners should be paying attention to. His presentation put into simple language what most perceive as complex incomprehensible information, making it easy to understand how to exercise the concept of numbers in business. With the tools he empowered our listeners with, attendees were able to see what numbers to pay attention, why they are important and how to use them together to focus, sustain and empower a financial foundation. It truly was time well spent.”

— Rodney Lindsey, CEO Space Club President Denver
