Top 100 Accounting Firm Blue & Co. Chooses Deltek Maconomy

CPA firm selects Deltek Maconomy to improve business intelligence and drive efficiency across its project-centric business

HERNDON, Va. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — January 10, 2012 — Deltek, Inc. (Nasdaq: PROJ), the leading global provider of enterprise software and information solutions for professional services firms and government contractors, today announced that Blue & Co, LLC, a certified public accounting, tax and advisory services firm based in Indiana, has chosen Deltek Maconomy as its integrated financial and practice management system. Deltek will provide the firm with financial, practice and customer relationship management solutions so it can operate more efficiently and better serve its growing list of clients.

Blue & Co., LLC, ranked as the 54th largest CPA firm in the U.S. by INSIDE Public Accounting, has grown from a startup in 1970 to eight offices in three states (IN, KY and OH) by developing a culture of responsive solutions for its clients. Blue & Co. offers auditing, business planning, financial controls, mergers and acquisition support, employee benefits and litigation services.

Having experienced significant growth over the past several years, Blue & Co. realized that the legacy tools it had in place for financial and practice management were not able to provide the detailed insight and visibility it needed to run its business at the level desired. In addition, Blue & Co. was looking to adopt a customer relationship management solution that would allow it to be more responsive to clients while powering its business development initiatives to offer new services in broader markets. After a thorough evaluation, the company purchased Deltek Maconomy.

“We are excited about our decision to purchase Deltek Maconomy to strengthen and streamline how we run our CPA firm,” said Mike Fleetwood, Partner at Blue & Co. “Deltek Maconomy’s unique ability to offer financial management, practice management and CRM functionality geared to how we run our accounting firm is unprecedented in the marketplace. Its integrated capabilities will enable us to consolidate systems and be more efficient across many aspects of our organization, and its detailed reporting capabilities will give us much better visibility into our business.”

“We are very pleased to add another Top 100 CPA firm to our customer list and we look forward to working with such a fast-growing and well-respected firm like Blue & Co.,” says Hugo Dorph, Deltek’s EVP and General Manager – Professional Services. “Deltek is laser-focused on meeting the needs of our rapidly expanding portfolio of North American and Global CPA firm clients, and we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that will drive world-class profitability for accounting firms and the broader professional services industry.”
