What size is your midsized firm? SAP considers mid-sized to be any company under $500 million in revenue.

Hi Kevin, I work for Intacct and we provide a cloud-based accounting solution for small to medium-sized companies. Give us a look at www.intacct.com. We offer a free trial, webinars, product tours, white papers, etc. to help you understand the ways Intacct can help your business. Good luck!

Kevin, there are a multitude of answers to this and first of all it depends on what you define as Mid Size. Next you need to disclose what it is your firm does and what are the key elements that you want to track, as every package has its strengths and weaknesses. I have installed packages ranging from Corporate Headquarters, Construction Companies and Private Schools. As in building anything, the key is the foundation which in this case is the chart of accounts. A well designed chart of accounts ( "COA" )can make even the most basic accounting package a powerhouse of information, while a poor designed COA can turn the most expensive system on earth into a train wreck.

Next you need to determine if you are ready for a conversion. I recently completed an accounting conversion from an off the shelf package to a industry specific solution, and most of the conversion time was spent fixing the accounting. Although they had audited financial statements, the internal accounting was a mess and had to be fixed before it could be converted.

Just a couple of things to consider as you embark on this project.

Our product CenterPoint Accounting can handle all the things you mentioned, and is a mid-market program. Many of our customers come from Peachtree or Quickbooks. CenterPoint has a .SQL back end, so it should be able to handle that volume no problem. Visit this page to learn more www.redwingsoftware.com/accounting.
