What do CountGPS users say?

"We have implemented CountGPS as a standard tool for use by all staff in the office to drive efficiency and financial results. CountGPS provides many standard solutions to enhance the quality and value of the client deliverable. In particular the access to the corporate structuring templates has enabled staff at all levels to develop their expertise in this area while generating valuable solutions for clients. CountGPS paid for itself in the first month of implementation. We now find CountGPS to be one of our most valuable tools in generating additional revenue streams with high level recoveries."

- Peter Beames, Beames & Associates, ACT

“We are enjoying the use of the CountGPS system. We had our planning day on the weekend and took the staff right through the system and the feedback was very good.”

- Craig Stevens, KMS Financial Solutions, VIC

“I have found the CountGPS templates invaluable as a tool to use in meetings, as it triggers everything you need to discuss with a client…..I would encourage all Accounting Firms, if they have not already done so, to subscribe to CountGPS. I estimate we have recouped the cost with the value added services we will provide to just one client, all within our first one hour meeting, as a result of using the CountGPS tools.”

- Andre Dekker, Dekkers Financial Strategy, NSW

“We are up and running with CountGPS and we’re very impressed with the content.”
