The Value This Customized Program Added to Our Operation Is Huge
We started working with Stief Group around 2011 when our computer software system crashed and other IT companies told us nothing could be done to fix it. We were looking for help to rebuild our company’s inventory system. We needed a solution that could maintain the integrity of our existing order entry and serialization systems, blending the old technology with the new. Stief Group fixed the problem for us by creating a customized program that kept us moving forward. The value this customized program added to our operation is huge.
Nature’s Scene is a small, family-owned art wholesale business. When we were looking for a company to help us with our accounting software, we wanted a small, tight-knit team that—like us—was committed to customer service and would come through for us every time. We have not been disappointed. The team is exceptional at getting back to us promptly when we have questions and, after years of working with Stief Group, I feel like I have a relationship with their consultants. They have become essential to our financial management and I wouldn’t go to another provider.

Good Advice for How to Build Our Business
We started working with Stief Group in 2008 when we were switching from a Dos-based program to Adagio. We were specifically looking for someone as local as possible. Since then, we’ve worked with nearly everyone on the team and created many dynamic reports essential to our business.
Working with Stief Group has added value to our company because they helped us develop a system for the valuation of our over one thousand products. It was great working with someone who had an accounting background and good advice for how to build our business. Brian’s extensive knowledge of the software meant he knew how to customize the solution for our particular operation.

Simplified Our Third-Party Reporting Requirements
We decided to work with Stief Group at the recommendation of one of our former board treasurers. What keeps us working with them, however, is the great service we receive from the Stief team. They respond promptly when we ask questions, provide a high quality of support, and deliver a seamless process when it comes to software upgrades.
Stief Group has improved the value of our business by helping us to drive efficiency in our financial management and by simplifying our third party reporting requirements. These are both essential priorities for a not-for-profit business.

We Feel in Control of Our Books
Our team started working with Stief Group at a time when we were rebuilding our financial reporting from scratch. The company was essential to putting us back in the driver’s seat as far as monitoring our finances, and we’re finally in a place where we feel in control of our books.
What’s kept us with Stief Group from the get-go is the amazing customer support we’ve received—both for everyday tasks and when we need large-scale solutions.
We’re also incredibly appreciative of how Stief Group always has an ear to the ground on what’s new and could be helpful for us as a business. Thanks to their guidance, we have a better understanding of what software options are available when we make decisions about how we run our operation. They really offer a whole range of business support—not just accounting.

I Know I Can Count on Stief Group
When I first joined the Eastern Synod offices, our organization already had an existing relationship with Stief Group. I have worked with multiple Stief Group consultants since then, and I have found their willingness to support our needs to be very helpful. The professional way they respond to our questions always leaves me with a relaxed attitude about our financial system.
Most importantly, when it comes to installing software upgrades onto our computers, I know I can count on Stief Group consultants to work out any bugs in the updates prior to making them go live. This service alone keeps our productively high and ensures we can complete all of our financial tasks on time.

We Rely on Them for Their Expertise and They Have Never Let Us Down
We have been doing business with Stief Group since 1995, which included rebuilding our systems after a major fire. After the incident, Stief Group aided us every step of the way in order to assure our team that all systems were working properly again.
Our business relies on having an accurate system for our records and reporting. Any time we’ve had difficulties or glitches, it has always been a quick fix with Stief Group technicians and their knowledge. They have always responded quickly and efficiently to any questions or difficulties that have arisen over the years. We rely on them for their expertise and they have never let us down.

We’re a Small Company, but Stief Group Treats Us Like a Big Customer Every Time
We’ve been working with Stief Group since they first suggested Adagio as an accounting solution for us nearly twenty years ago. What has kept us working with them for so long is the quality of service we continue to receive with each call.
We’re a small company, but Stief Group treats us like a big customer every time; they’re always there to pull us out of any situation we’re in. Whether we’re talking about our Adagio solution or our Stief Group service—I can’t imagine life without either. It is absolutely worth the price we pay for it.
