Accounting for Growth: Bookkeeping in Bunny Slippers Interview with Denise Loter-Koch and Dawn Ashpole of ebs Associates
I just met Denise Loter-Koch and the people at ebs Associates in February of this year, but feel that I’ve known them all for a long time. These are just good folks. I am impressed with what they do, and recognize that they are a well-oiled machine that has been building and innovating in the Pacific Northwest for many years. Since 1982, in fact.
In May 2011, ebs announced their acquisition of SBA Services , a rival accounting consulting firm also operating in the Portland metro area. SBA Services is the company built by Dawn Ashpole, who I met through my work with professional QuickBooks ProAdvisor communities. Dawn is “good people”, too, which makes the combination of the two companies even more of a positive thing.
After the July “acquisition celebration”, a party complete with wine tasting, live jazz music and Denise with her leg in a fresh plaster cast (golfing injury… don’t ask), I had an opportunity to pose a few questions to both Denise and Dawn about the business, the market, the merger and what it means to them and their respective futures.
Joanie: Denise, describe ebs Associates… what services does the company offer?
Denise: We are a well-established firm and have been providing bookkeeping and QuickBooks services for more than 28 years. All of our consultants are QuickBooks Advanced Certified ProAdvisors, the highest professional certification offered by Intuit.
We provide a number of valuable business services, including QuickBooks consulting and support, QuickBooks group training, webinars and seminars, QB data clean up and project work, financial controller services, and full-charge bookkeeping and payroll services. We were also selected as Intuit Solution Providers because of our expertise in technology and solutions integration for small-to-medium sized businesses. We are authorized by Intuit to resell, implement, and support QuickBooks Software. ebs is ranked 14 out of more than 500 Intuit Solution Providers nationwide and #1 in our region. We are currently in the territories of Portland, Bend, Eugene and Boise.
