ATLANTA, June 13, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Client Profiles, one of the leading providers of CRM software for the professional services market, introduced CRM4Accounting at the AICPA Practitioners Symposium and TECH+ Conference in Las Vegas today. Powered by Microsoft Dynamics-based CRM and tailored specifically for the accounting industry by Client Profiles, the new software features all of the tools and capabilities needed to organize and maintain customer relationships from first contact through long-term client interaction.
With today's economic environment demanding that accounting firms, legal practices and other professional services businesses operate as efficiently and effectively as possible, Client Profiles' intuitive software provides the tools necessary to increase productivity and profitability. CRM4Accounting – which is modeled after the company's successful CRM4Legal application for law firms – features a centralized database through which all information is stored, allowing personnel to easily manage client activities and supporting firm-wide marketing efforts.
"There is a strong demand for Microsoft CRM Dynamics throughout the professional services industry that has grown over the past three years as a direct result of the slow economy," said Whit McIsaac, president and CEO of Client Profiles. "Companies need CRM technology to tap into critical business intelligence that will help improve client service and business management. Our credibility and success in the marketplace helps to guarantee that firms using CRM4Accounting will have access to the most up-to-date client relationship management tools and resources available to the accounting industry."
CRM4Accounting runs entirely within Microsoft Outlook, allowing users to take full advantage of the Microsoft Office Suite while deploying powerful firm-wide contact management, relationship intelligence and business development tools. And due to the ease and flexibility of Client Profiles' CRM solution, even the most non-technical employees can quickly incorporate CRM4Accounting into their daily work routines, easily customizing it with navigation and reports that match their unique needs and preferences.
Early adopters of CRM4Accounting include BDO International, the world's fifth largest accounting network with more than 46,930 employees across the globe, as well as Reznick Group, a top 20 national accounting, tax and business advisory firm.
