Our Consulting Team
Douglas Dickie
President
Doug has been in accounting and business management for over 40 years. Extensive experience in the analysis, design, and implementation of accounting and financial systems has helped him understand how profoundly accounting affects the efficiency and profitability of a business. He’s also seen, after the fact, how poorly selected or poorly implemented systems can have a severely debilitating impact on an otherwise healthy business.
Douglas is also a long-time member of the Information Technology Alliance (ITA) – an independent, membership association of leading companies whose primary objective is to create a community where members share information and build relationships that improve the way they, and their clients, do business.

Barbara Sehn
Consultant
Barbara has over 15 years of “hands on” experience using Adagio. She originally worked for a small manufacturing company which used ACCPAC, and then ultimately converted them to Adagio Accounting. Eight years ago, Barbara joined a privately-owned, mid-sized distribution company as their controller, where her Adagio skills and experience were further developed.
As an avid Adagio Accounting fan, Barbara loves showing clients how Adagio can make their work load easier and more efficient.
