What Previous Attendees Say

"This was my first Sleeter Conference and I was very impressed with the material and speakers. I appreciated how open and willing the speakers and attendees were about sharing their experiences on growing their businesses."

J. Aldulaimi, Chandler, AZ

"It was fabulous! This was my third year, and as always I am walking away motivated, excited and inspired. Great job!"

T. Hook, Rapid City, SD

"This was my first Conference, and I was so excited to have the opportunity to learn more about QuickBooks and new add-on applications. Also, networking with professionals from across the country was an amazing experiance."

M. Singleton, Austin, TX

"This was my fifth consecutive year attending The Sleeter Group's Accounting Solutions Conference, and I was not disappointed on my return on investment of time and expense. Even during tight economic times, this Conference is a must-attend event for me. There are numerous opportunites to obtain quality information by attending the sessions presented by top quality speakers, visiting with third-party vendors, and networking with other consultants and accountants. Based on these exchanges, I leave with real world knowledge that I can apply in my business. This is an exceptional Conference with a special group of people, and it does not get stale year after year. Thank you Doug, Sherrill and your Sleeter staff for another well done Conference!"

D. Beauchamp, Pickerington, OH

"This Conference provided an excellent opportunity to hear information from accounting and IT professionals about very important aspects of our business. The Conference also provides excellent networking opportunities."

C. Moller, Durango, CO

"I was a first time attendee at the 2010 Conference. I had viewed previous Conference agendas and found the topics interesting. As I was traveling quite a distance to attend, I was hopeful that a variety of add-in products would be available to explore. I must say that the Conference exceeded my expectations. Presenters were well-versed in their topics. Sessions covered a variety of applications, QuickBooks technical and operational subjects, and insight for future planning. The exhibits were well-manned and informative. I thoroughly enjoyed the Conference and hopeful to attend next year."

R. Douglas, Town of St. George, Bermuda

"Great Conference, great information, great speakers. Vendor information and reps were very knowledgable and helpful. Most importantly, the session topics were relevant and timely to our business. I was most impressed with the technology updates and the manner in which each speaker related their topic back to actionable and relevant connections to our businesses."

T. Evans, Overalnd Park, KS

"My first experience with a Sleeter Conference has been wonderful. It was all that I imagined and then some. It was rather interesting to meet a product vendor from my own province (Saskatchewan) - and for a product for which I've been looking for a company to partner! Who would have thought I would have to come all the way to Las Vegas to meet them?"

L. Sheppard, Saskatoon, Sk, Canada

"I love the enthusiasm at this Conference. The event not only taught me valuable skills to apply, I also learned professionalism and personal tips on how to become better as an individual - both in the workplace as well as outside."

S. Oliver, Missoula, MT

"As a new member, this was my first Conference. The content and speakers were excellent. There were so many valuable take-aways immediately useful in any accounting or consulting practice. I plan to attend next year as well."

L. Hamilton, New York, NY

"The keynote speakers were excellent. Best of all was meeting new people and seeing the people with whom I have developed a relationship over the past six Conferences. I realized how my continuous attendance has served to build these relationships, and how every year I feel more and more connected!"

W. Temira, Los Angeles, CA

"As a bookkeeper I was hesitant to spend the time and money to attend the Conference, unsure if the topics covered would be relevant to my company. I must say that it was well worth it. The networking alone was fantastic; everyone was very open in sharing ideas and answering questions about how they run their business. The speakers were knowledgeable and presented a lot of relevant information. Overall I gained valuable ideas on how to move my company into the future, and I made relationships that will help me stay on course."

C. Schroeder, Glen Ellyn, IL

"I have found that both Conferences I have attended have left me feeling not only more knowledgeable, but also inspired and excited to go back to my clients and colleagues to share the wealth of information that I collected. The Sleeter Conferences have been truly superb experiences that I highly recommend to anyone in the accounting profession."

K. McCally, Silver Spring, MD

"Overall the Conference was very good. I have so much information to process, so I can decide what is best for my new practice. I learned about so many software and hosting options that I didn't know were available."

A. Eiferd, Pueblo, CO

"I loved it. The classes were great! I wish I could have attended them all. Seeing the vendor offerings was fabulous. I get to see the tools available, meet their staff and see the demos in one place - because there is never enough time to do the research at home. But best of all is meeting and making new friends. That is something you can get nowhere else."

D. Kilsheimer, Port Orange, FL

"I came down here with a very specific mission: to change how I run my business. I believe I have found the tools I was looking for, and met a lot of really great people at the same time. Finally matching a face to the person on the other end of the phone when working with my vendors was great."

A. Mann, San Francisco, CA

"As a new member, this was my first conference.  The content and speakers were excellent. There were so many valuable take-aways immediately useful in any accounting or consulting practice.  I plan to attend next year as well."

L. Hamilton, New York, NY

"This is my second conference.  Both times, I walk away feeling like I really got some value for my money.  I like to go home and restructure how I run my business with all of my new knowledge.  The time with our peers and vendors is invaluable.  We are all trying to do the same things, so why re-invent the wheel."

A. Main, Kirkland, WA

"This is my 3rd year and as always I walk away motivated, excited and inspired.  Great Job!."

T. Hook, Rapid City, SD

"This was my 5th consecutive year to attend The Sleeter Group's Accounting Solutions Conference, and I was not disappointed on my return on investment of time and expense. Even during tight economic times, this conference is a must attend event for me. There are numerous opportunites to obtain quality information by attending the sessions presented by top quality speakers, visiting with third-party vendors, and networking with other consultants and accountants. Based on these exchanges, I leave with real world knowledge that I can apply in my business. This is an exceptional conference with a special group of people, and it does not get stale year after year."

D. Beauchamp, Pickerington, OH

"The Sleeter Group as a whole is invaluable. The entire network brings a level of knowledge that can't be matched anywhere. The Conference is always excellent, no matter what location or facility. I appreciate what you, The Sleeter Group staff, has done to build this network."

B. Morris, Bentonville, AR

"Every year the conference astounds me!   My Sleeter membership and the Conference are the best value for my dollar!"

K. Seiwert, Monkton, VT

"In 2006, I attended my first Sleeter Conference and have not missed one since. The Sleeter Group's Accounting Solutions Conference is an annual "must attend" event for me. No matter how tough the economic times, I always get more than an ample return on my investment of time and resources. The content of the Conference does not get stale and I always learn something new every year. The Sleeter Group has been an integral part of my business growth."

D. Beauchamp, Pickerington, OH

"Attending this Conference is most important to growing my practice. The education, knowledge, and relationships developed at this event help me to move forward and grow. Revenues have increased every year after attending this Conference."

C. Willet, Estero, FL

"My first Conference and it was much greater than I expected.  I learned so much that my head was literally spinning every day.  I am kicking myself for not going years ago. I have never been to a conference where all of the speakers were so accessible and willing to talk to you, as I am sure they were as tired as I was at the end of the day."

S. Bland, Richmond, VA

"Wow! What a great opportunity this Conference was to learn, network, and re-invent. I am so excited to go back and start implementing many of the practice development tips and add-ons. It made such a difference to meet with vendors one-on-one instead of viewing a Web site. The hardest task will be to decide where to begin. Sign me up now for next year!"

C. Elberty, Rochester, NY

"I want to thank you for bringing all this knowledge to me. I will never miss another Sleeter Group Conference. I look forward to implementing several add-ons into my ever growing practice. I will see you next year!"

K. Noh, Brandon, FL

"This is my third Sleeter Group seminar and as much as the format is similar each year it is also different. The keynote speakers change, the add-ons are always interesting and innovative (saves a lot of time trying to find solutions), and it's a great networking environment. I have seen a lot of the same faces, have become friends with them, and have received referrals from them. Also, I have met a lot of new people and people I know have high values that I would recommend. I have met face to face with developers - nowhere else has this all come together under one roof!"

I. Rocco, East Northport, NY

"I have been coming to The Sleeter Group Conference for three years and would recommend it for anyone who has QuickBooks consulting as part of their practice."

M. Fulencheck, McKinney, TX

"I was having a difficult time figuring out how to take my practice to the next level. I feel like this was an answer to a prayer. Thank you for all of the great information and resources, but most of all I am inspired once again - that's priceless!"

D. Carsten, Studio City, CA

"This Conference is the best continuing education money I spend in a year. Thanks to the staff at The Sleeter Group."

K. Magnuson, Decorah, IA

"All of the sessions [at the Conference] are great, but the opportunity to speak with others doing what I'm doing is PRICELESS!"

B. Crook, Huntsville, AL

"This Conference is where you come to meet the most skilled and knowledgeable professional users of QuickBooks."

R. Acher, Upper Montclair, NJ

"The Conference was an awesome learning experience for me - from Michael Gerber educating me on how to keep my practice from being a dead-end and draining every ounce of my energy, to Amy Vetter giving some of the tricks of the trade that helped to grow her practice to an almost unbelievable number without company mergers. I found the Intuit and technology segments to be extremely helpful in preparing for the year to come. I have attended Sleeter Group seminars for the past five years and this was, by far, my favorite. I now know that I can't afford to miss this Conference again. Thank you for continuing to grow and help our QuickBooks network! You said we wouldn't be here without Intuit, but I ask, how many practitioners would be here without The Sleeter Group? My answer would be: not many! So again, thank you for continuing to educate me year after year!"

R. Biver, Lebanon, IL

"The section on fixing a damaged data files was worth the price of the seminar! I have been extremely pleased with the resources that The Sleeter Group has to offer consultants."

Lora Douglas, Starke, FL

"The quality of the sessions and the knowledge and abilities of The Sleeter Group presenters is exceptional. The Sleeter Group's annual Conference is filled with useful training, practical tips, and techniques on using QuickBooks to build your practice and deepen your client relationships. It's worth attending the annual Conference just to learn from the collective depth of knowledge of The Sleeter Group's network members."

Rich Walker, Intuit Inc.

"The seminar delivered exactly what was advertised: 'For Accountants, Consultants, and Power Users.' Excellent!"

G. Block, CPA, St. Louis, MO

"The Conference was terrific, the staff was wonderful, and the exhibitors were great. I loved learning about all of the third party products as I have never had time to go check them out on my own! Having Intuit representatives there to 'give and receive' was exceptionally gratifying. It was really great meeting so many of my 'cohorts in QuickBooks crime.' I have so many new ideas to go on my 'to do' list that I have barely know what to do!"

D. Gilson, CPA, CIA, Ann Arbor, MI
