“You don’t have to have a lot of training :to initially start using AFP because if you’re already versed in Excel, AFP is pretty well self-explanatory. It’s very flexible.”
Melanie Rollo, CPA, Audit Supervisor, Ellsworth Gilman Johnson & Stout
“I
looked at [competing product] but the feedback from other people was
that it was overkill. I needed a simple solution. I was able to hit the
ground running right away. It’s easy to use. It’s also a great
time-saver – all the necessary working papers are there.”

"Our office provides Notice to Reader and Review engagement services to owner-managed businesses. We have been using AFP for over 15 years and within that time frame have witnessed countless enhancements to this product that have not only kept up with changes within the profession but have improved our productivity.
If new staff is at all familiar with Excel they love AFP. The learn curve on AFP for new users broaches 3 hours at most regardless of the level of experience the individual may have. Thus, we don’t worry as much about training someone for two or three days only to lose the time and money spent on training should they decide to leave our employ.
Downloading data from Simply accounting into the specific lead sheets allows the ability to make notes on an item by item basis within the lead sheets and to document within those lead sheets the results of conversations with clients. As well we can summarize our procedures and conclusions within the lead sheet if we wish. This has proven to meet documentation and review requirements.
Pragmatically the ability to identify changes over last year by percentage and or dollar value allows the practitioner to identify areas that may need more discussion or investigation to ensure that financial statements presentation is consistent and within the bounds of materiality.
It
is rare in the world of software companies to have a quality product
and true personal service as offered by Pendock Mallorn. Whether we
have a question about the software or suggestions about enhancements we
have found their desire to assist and consider our issues first and
foremost."

"AFP is the backbone of our practice. It is easy to learn, flexible and all encompasing.
The support is an added plus. We have been using it since 1993 and couldn't work without it!”
Rodney N. Goetz, FCGA
“I
tried building my own, but it was taking forever. Our outside
accountants were using the software and that’s why I bought it. I found
it powerful, intuitive and very easy to use. It has all the macros in
it, everything is in it – I just had to put in the right settings. The
documentation was very straight forward – just very easy to use. I’d
recommend it for sure. It’s a great tool.”
