Fourlane implements bookkeeping best practices and QuickBooks training for internal operations at Net Friends
Overview
Fourlane gets businesses organized, focused, and prepared for the future.
Net Friends is a managed Information Technology (IT) service provider, with a growing team of expert IT Consultants. With the exit transition of their long-time financial controller, the Net Friends leadership team saw an opportunity for strategic reset: to organize and streamline internal finance operations with clarity and future growth in mind.
Discovery
Net Friends had a large QuickBooks file that had undergone vast change in the past two years. Inventory, purchasing, and the month-end close were handled in-house, while the company outsourced its payroll and had problematic time-tracking. As a result, the team wanted oversight and consistency. They needed a better system, and they needed the experts at Fourlane to become an integrated part of the team.

Development and delivery
Fourlane’s Cynthia Hemingway built a trusted partner relationship with Net Friends by developing a thorough understanding of their processes, team skillset, and needs. Beginning with a QuickBooks file review, and then a file condense, Hemingway’s team eventually moved Net Friends’ QuickBooks Enterprise file to a secure third-party hosted environment. Along with the move came the extensive education and training Net Friends had been looking for, with consistency and reliable oversight as the result.

Their CFO’s confidence has soared.
“Net Friends has been very vocal about the fact that Fourlane will be a part of their business moving forward. We’ve taught them what they need to know, and built and maintained a good relationship.” – Cynthia Hemingway, Fourlane
Hemingway and the Fourlane team of experts know that confidence is where the real value lies. They do more than show their clients what QuickBooks can do—they listen, educate, advise, and consult, building lasting relationships for mutual benefit, now and into the future.
