Intacct Names LarsonAllen Partner of the Year at Advantage 2008

Visionary Firm Leading the Way in Using the Internet and Software as a Service to Transform the Accounting Profession

SAN JOSE, Calif. (September 18, 2008) –

Intacct, a leader in on-demand financial management and accounting applications, today announced that it has named LarsonAllen LLP as its partner of the year for 2008. LarsonAllen is a national professional service firm of 1,400 people, providing assurance, accounting, tax, consulting, and advisory services to organizations and individuals. The firm was recognized at Intacct Advantage 2008, the company’s annual client and partner conference being held this week in San Jose.

The award honors LarsonAllen for delivering exemplary solutions and services to its clients during the past year and for its visionary leadership in providing a blueprint as to how Software as a Service (SaaS) and the Internet can transform the accounting profession.

LarsonAllen is using Intacct’s on-demand financial management system to add new clients rapidly while delivering outstanding service across multiple practices and multiple industries. The firm is delivering additional client value by deploying best practice financial templates and business processes as part of their service.

“These templates allow our clients to get up and running quickly and gain tremendous value from our financial expertise and experience,” stated Alan Anderson, managing principal of assurance and accounting services, who accepted the award on behalf of LarsonAllen.

LarsonAllen is innovative in their use of the Internet to provide better service to their clients and greater flexibility to their employees. They are delivering transformational value to their firm and their clients by using Intacct to shift work to labor pools in lower cost parts of the United States and to skilled employees that desire flexible work hours and locations. They are making highly valuable domain experts available across multiple practices and clients.

All of this is possible because LarsonAllen is using SaaS financial applications and the ubiquity of the Internet to make the location of their staff and that of their clients transparent and irrelevant – all the accountant and the client needs is an Internet connection and a Web browser and they can seamlessly work together.

“We are delighted to announce LarsonAllen as Intacct’s 2008 partner of the year,” said Jerry Jalaba, vice president of channels at Intacct. “LarsonAllen has raised the standard for delivering excellent service to their clients while rapidly and cost effectively scaling their business. It is a privilege to recognize them for their innovation in showing the way that Software as a Service can transform the accounting profession.”
