About the Founder, Mark Forbush

Mark Forbush has been implementing software systems for more than 25 years. After serving in the US Air Force in Computer Operations and after earning his Bachelor's Degree from Bentley College (now Bentley University), Mark was immediately hired into a "Big 8" accounting firm and passed the CPA exam on his first sitting-- something very few do. His resume also includes a master's degree and six years' experience with BBN (Bolt, Beranek, & Newman)-- the real inventor of the Internet.

Mark's first accounting software implementation was Peachtree Software in 1983. Since then he has implemented MCBA on a Wang VS minicomputer, McCormick & Dodge on an IBM mainframe, Macola, Real World, and Great Plains (now Microsoft Dynamics GP).

This combination of advanced education in accounting and extensive technology experience, along with the passion he has for his work and the quality of the personal relationships with his clients have made Mark the expert and trusted advisor to hundreds of companies large and small.

Mark resides in Burlington, Massachusetts with his wife and six children, explaining "There are only two things I do-- computers and family."
