The countdown continues with less than 6 weeks until Scaling New Heights. If you have not booked your flight and hotel rooms, you'd better get busy! But before you do that, however, take a look at what you will learn if you sit through this session lead by Big Time Software, Inc.'s COO, Jake Matyas.
IA: Tell us what your company does.
JM: BigTime Software, Inc. is a leading provider of pro-level time and billing tools for professional services firms and a market leader in QuickBooks integration. Its next-generation mobile app, BigTime Mobile, was named a 2014 Awesome App and is available for both iPhone and Android users.
IA: What market segment do you serve?
JM: Professional services, with a focus on the accounting professional.
IA: Attendees have a lot of options when it comes to training at Scaling New Heights. What will you be teaching and why should they choose your session?
JM: Learning to get beyond some of the major pain points they experience in their business workflow and how to translate that into saved time and increased revenue.
IA: I know that you will not be “selling” during the session, but will participants learn the advantages and benefits of being a BigTime Company Partner during this session?
JM: They can leverage the benefit of working with a partner that brings more than 12 years of SaaS-based time and billing experience on behalf of professional services companies. And the advantage of working with the one company Intuit chose to partner with when looking for assistance in building a time and billing solution for its own accounting customers.
IA: What would be the ideal profile of someone attending your session? How many clients would they have? What type of clients would they have (manufacturing, distribution, retail)? Would they need to already have clients with a need that BigTime can solve?
JM: A ProAdvisor who is looking to solve their own business process workflow issues, as well as those ProAdvisors who are trying to solve similar issues for their professional services clients.
IA: Let’s face it, trade shows are a big investment for vendors and attendees alike. What do you hope to gain from the investment you’ve made in being and exhibitor and a speaker at SNH?
JM: Expand awareness of BigTime’s brand and let folks know what is new with our product offering.
IA: What are the 3 most important takeaways a ProAdvisor will receive from your session?
JM: 1.) The next-generation of time and billing apps won’t just provide accountants with a time & billing tool; they’ll provide the metrics a company should be focused on to make its business more successful. 2.) Time and billing tools can now be full-on practice management solutions. Instead of just tracking time and collecting data, new tools also show accountants how to unlock all of the value of that data so they can use it to better manage their businesses. 3.) New time and billing software is designed to be super-customizable and flexible so users can make the tool bend to their firm’s specific needs and the particular way they like to do things -- no more compromising to fit cookie-cutter solutions.
IA: Are you looking to connect with ProAdvisors from any particular part of the country?
JM: No. We work with ProAdvisors all over the country.
