BlueGranite Joins BDO Seidman Alliance
April 29, 2008
Kalamazoo, MI: Technology leader BlueGranite, Inc, has joined the BDO Seidman Alliance, a nationwide association of independently owned local and regional CPA firms and businesses.
Matthew Mace, president and CEO of BlueGranite, says the Alliance greatly expands the services BlueGranite can now offer its clients through the network of Alliance members.
“We really like being able to refer a full complement of services to our clients,” Mace says. “By working with the BDO Seidman Alliance, we know that every member company has demonstrated both technical expertise and a high degree of customer focus. We can be sure that they’ll take care of our clients as well as we do.”
The BDO Seidman Alliance enhances member firm capabilities through the availability of supplementary professional services, comprehensive management consulting services, focused industry knowledge, customized state-of-the-art computer systems, and internal training programs.
BlueGranite specializes in the implementation of Performance Dashboards – an integrated set of software solutions that enable organizations to collaborate around and monitor key business activities, and then analyze the results of those activities to uncover new insights. Traditionally known as business intelligence, this innovative set of applications helps organizations improve their results by using an important asset -- the data and information stored in traditional operational and finance systems -- to make better decisions. And it places organizational focus on the activities and results that matter.
Mace says that BlueGranite clients now include companies throughout the Midwest and, to a lesser extent, nationwide. “The BDO Seidman Alliance is an ideal fit for us because it ensures that our clients have access to the technical knowledge and specialty services of BDO Seidman, LLP and other Alliance members nationwide. And it provides us with an opportunity to expand,” he says.
Frank Masotta, BDO Seidman, LLP regional director, business resource network, Grand Rapids says BlueGranite is a welcome addition to the Alliance. “We believe the professionals at BlueGranite share BDO Seidman’s commitment to exemplary client service and we want to welcome them into the BDO Seidman Alliance.”
