The CPA Technology Advisor awarded Cougar Mountain Software another 5 star review for CMS Professional 2010. We are the ONLY company reviewed this year that received a perfect score, 5 stars.

The 2010 Review of Small Business Accounting Systems was changed this year, focusing on products that are installed on users’ computers only, and cost no more than $5,500 for the core accounting system. New categories were also created so that the review was easier to understand.

Mary Girsch-Bock wrote, “CMS Professional 2010 is ideal for small to mid-sized businesses that desire a feature-rich environment at a very reasonable price. With an extensive array of add-on modules, as well as the availability of the more powerful DENALI system for future system upgrading, users will never outgrow this vendor’s powerful product line.”
