“Compass has transformed how we engage with our data. The visual dashboards provided by Compass make understanding our information a breeze. What sets it apart is not just the accessibility but also the ability to dive deeper into the underlying data for a more comprehensive analysis.”

Steve Neher

Cordell Neher & Company, PLLC

"Before we implemented Compass, we would have to run 42 reports to get one answer!  We were running endless reports that were not telling us much and frustrated by the inability to run reports on projects.  Overall, partners were ‘super frustrated’ and wasting valuable time trying to get real time information. Compass provides us with real time data that is easily accessible for all partners and team members to have access to the critical information they need to make everyday decisions.  We no longer run practice management reports, saving us hundreds of hours a year, and have information by firm, department, services line, industry, project that allows us to make quick data driven decisions and drives profitability."

Roy Prestwood

Heard, McElroy, & Vestal LLC

“Before Compass, our reporting process was a web of multiple reports from various sources, requiring tedious cut-and-paste work to create a coherent picture. This not only consumed valuable time but also introduced the risk of errors. With Compass, we now have a streamlined and consistent presentation that allows us to focus on the essential drivers of our firm.”

Steve Neher

Cordell Neher & Company, PLLC

“Managing a team of accountants, data reliability and transparency are paramount. Compass has been a game-changer by providing our Members with a unified platform where they can confidently access the same report. Compass allows us to redirect our focus towards meaningful discussions and strategic planning in our meetings.”

Spotlighting Issues in Your Firm Using Strategic Data Analytics Part 2: Capacity

The work we do as CPA firms is constantly in flux, which makes gauging staffing capacity a constant challenge. The line between over and under budget is a hard one to walk. Yet knowing where we stand capacity-wise lets us determine if we need to accelerate or decelerate our hiring or reallocate staff members. This is where our strategic data analytics solution, Compass, has proven invaluable.

Spotlighting Issues in Your Firm Using Strategic Data Analytics Part 1: Productivity

Seeing a drop in productivity, even a small one, can be unnerving. One of the greatest benefits of data analytics is the objective view it provides. The numbers don’t lie, which means we’re empowered with answers instead of overwhelmed with assumptions.
