I used Kevin for implementation of SOS that required a large and complex integration. We had multiple sales channels and integration points. He was very patient and helped us navigate the complexity and what was required. He is very knowledgeable about SOS and QBO and could explain the impact of configuration to COGS. His communication, follow up and responsiveness were outstanding.

Our team chose Kevin in a new joint venturer start up several months ago. The complexity of what needed to be done between set up and systems was far beyond my scope. Kevin came highly recommended and performed outstandingly. He was an excellent communicator with the team, he led when it was appropriate for him to do so and most of all he completed the project within scope and on time.
