Description of Services Offered:
Accounting Management Solutions, Inc., based in Waltham, Mass. and New York City, is a leading provider of accounting, financial management, and consulting services to nonprofit organizations. Our focus is to help nonprofits understand their financial condition and plan for the future. We do that by providing industry trained experts who have the knowledge and experience to develop solutions for a wide range of accounting and financial management issues, and who then implement those solutions.
Working side by side with clients, our CFOs, controllers, accountants, and bookkeepers enhance existing internal financial control and reporting systems or put new systems in place. AMS professionals become part of our clients’ teams – similar to internal staff but without the hiring and supervising responsibilities that come with managing employees. Clients who engage AMS work with the same people week after week, month after month, as long as needed.
AMS offers a full range of accounting and financial management services, including:
• Accounting on an ongoing basis
• Professional support on an interim basis
• Financial and operations reviews
• Board and staff training
• Strategic and financial planning
• Special project work, including:
o Internal control assessments and implementations
o Due diligence
o Pre-audit assistance and financial statement preparation
o Development and documentation of policies and procedures
o Cash flow management
o Accounting software selection and implementation
In addition, we also retained search for executive and upper level finance and accounting management positions. Our core business -- focused on interim, part-time and project engagements -- embraces an intensive and exhaustive recruiting process that gives us broad access to large numbers of qualified candidates, many of whom we know through our client relationships. This combination of factors allows us to offer our clients the most thorough, yet cost-efficient retained search services.
Background on you and/or your business:
Established in 1998, AMS since 2006 has been ranked as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States by Inc. magazine, and in Massachusetts by the Boston Business Journal. Today, AMS employs approximately more than 100 professionals. AMS is a virtual organization, which means that about 90 percent of its employees work at client sites outside the AMS home office.
Unlike a temporary services agency, where different staffers may be assigned to the same job over a period of time, AMS professionals—with an average of 20 years of experience—remain with a client for the duration of the assignment, be it a week, a month, six months, or even years.
AMS has built—and continues to build—its business on a simple model: meet critical client needs with experienced, knowledgeable professionals who roll up their sleeves. To accomplish this, and help clients achieve their mission, AMS hires only experienced professionals. They must be able to do three things exceptionally well: figure out the problem, do the actual work, be immediately productive.
