Los Angeles, CA....ACUMEN Financial Solutions announces that Stonefield Josephson has selected the company's financial analytic software tool, ACUMEN, to enhance its client services offerings. Stonefield Josephson is one of the largest 100 accounting and advisory firms in the country.

Stonefield Josephson will use ACUMEN to provide quick and easy visualization of recommendations aimed at improving its clients' businesses.

ACUMEN's intuitive user interface makes it easy to explore suggested corrections for potential problem areas, or Hot Spots, within a client's financials, and to immediately visualize the expected results of recommended changes. ACUMEN is a unique "what if" tool. It uses gauges, dials and sliders to provide a clear graphic overview of financials that can be quickly explained and discussed with clients, rather than by resorting to lengthy and complicated spreadsheet solutions.

"Stonefield Josephson's confidence in ACUMEN as a client services tool validates our belief that the accounting world is ready for a financial visualization product that provides instant, in-depth analysis and calculation in an easily-grasped graphic format," says Elmer Easton, president and CEO of ACUMEN Financial Solutions. "ACUMEN will provide Stonefield Josephson with the ability to help its clients quickly visualize corporate planning recommendations for discussion and action, resulting in enhanced client satisfaction."

Leonard Gordon, Stonefield Josephson partner, agrees, "We see ACUMEN as a way to help our clients visualize the areas in their businesses that need improvement and the potential results of our recommendations. Financial information is grasped more easily in a graphic format. ACUMEN's user interface makes it easy to see problem areas and to instantly see how changes can be made to improve a client's business."

Test Changes to Financials and View Instantly with ACUMEN...

ACUMEN makes it easy to quickly see the effects, for example, of changing a product price or adding sales expense to spur growth. To use ACUMEN, financial data is loaded into the system. Plans and changes can be easily tested by dragging a slider to increase or decrease one line item, which in turn instantly reflects the results of the change throughout the entire financial statement.

ACUMEN provides both top-down and, particularly, the more critical bottom-up "what-if" analysis, allowing the user to determine the operational requirements to produce a specified net return.
