“Account numbers are so simple now.  When we are coding invoices, Sage Intacct pulls up the dimension, like  horse, for a much faster, cleaner process.”

- Chrisi Connor, Controller, Spendthrift Farm

“Dean Dorton understands the equine business. They recommended setting up the horses as classes, which works really well. Farm managers can see how much money we had earned basically up to the minute. They no longer have to come and ask me how much money they have left in advertising for the year...”

- Dara Purcell, Director of Finance, Stonestreet Farm

“From outsourced accounting and IT support to tactical assistance related to charge entry, A/R collections, and interim practice management assistance, Dean Dorton’s healthcare group has been a tremendous asset to our practice.”

- Denise Kirkham, Executive Director at Women First
