CTS Guides, a leading publisher of accounting software reviews and ratings, has released an enhanced edition of its free Accounting Software Selection Kit. New software evaluation and implementation tools and updated special reports have been added to the Kit, which delivers a comprehensive suite of products to help business owners and managers evaluate and select new software.

Included in the free Kit are the Smart Shortlist™ Consult, for instantly creating an evaluation shortlist; detailed reviews and ratings for leading accounting software packages; a vendor directory with product pricing, support costs and other fast facts; a variety of special reports, like Choosing the Right Value Added Reseller (VAR) and Time to Change Accounting Software? 12 Keys to Success; and new software selection tools for making informed decisions quickly.

Free Advice Speeds Shortlist Creation

Accounting professionals that download the Kit are entitled to the Smart Shortlist Consult service. This free, 15-minute phone consultation with Sheldon Needle, a leading authority on accounting software selection, is an excellent way to instantly create a software shortlist, which can save hours or even days of research time.
