Crestwood Associates LLC Announces Merger with Visions Business Solutions (VBS)

By: PRLog
MOUNT PROSPECT, Ill. - Aug. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Brian McGuckin, Co-Owner of Crestwood Associates LLC announces that Crestwood has entered into a merger with the long-time Oak-Park-based Acumatica, Sage and Greentree consulting firm, Visions Business Solutions (VBS) effective August 17, 2015.

VBS will operate under the Crestwood Associates name at their Mount Prospect, Illinois headquarters. Crestwood Associates provides Microsoft Dynamics and Acumatica accounting and business management solutions to mid-sized companies, and has done so for 17 years. This is Crestwood’s second merger in 2015, emphasizing the firm’s focus on growth and its determination to offer clients an expanding portfolio of products and services. Crestwood is also proud to note that the merger was completed without the support of a third party financial organization. “We don’t look for support from external parties in order to remain focused on our company’s goals and the goals of our clients,” says Crestwood’s McGuckin. “Too often you find firms that get distracted by achieving the goals of their financiers instead of monitoring the evolving business technology marketplace.”

The addition of VBS’s thriving Acumatica and Greentree Practice, along with a significant client base in the Chicagoland area, enables both firms to deliver more services to a greater number of clients. "We are excited to welcome our VBS colleagues as we join forces to help our clients achieve their goals," said McGuckin. “By joining two long-standing, customer-focused organizations and leveraging our deep Microsoft Dynamics and Acumatica expertise, we are positioned to offer even more value to our current and future customers.”

Crestwood clients will also have access to a team with decades of experience selling and supporting Sage software products. With the uncertain future of many popular Sage platforms, VBS has educated Sage users about industry leading products like Acumatica. Crestwood is pleased to offer Sage users with consultative and educational services regarding their options and an easy transition to a new software system.

John Gabrys and Joel McDonnell, owners of VBS, join Crestwood as Directors. “The VBS team is excited to join Crestwood. Crestwood has the resources, vision, and dedication to customer satisfaction that will enhance the Acumatica and Greentree work we have done and enable our team to fulfill our mission of helping our clients solve their business issues,” offered Gabrys.

VBS has welcomed its customers to the new firm and they are available to answer any questions they may have about the transition or about Crestwood. “Our first order of business is to assure our clients that they continue to have a valued Acumatica and Greentree business partner in us. We are doing everything that we can to make the process seamless,” Gabrys stated. Updates relating to the merger will be published on both companies’ websites: www.vbserp.com and www.crestwood.com.
