Our Story
During the peak of the Victorian Era, a small apartment sits above a sandwich shop, its curtains drawn to reveal a man observing the bustling streets of London. The man is Sherlock Holmes, and the address is 221 B Baker Street. Through the adventures and cases of the world's first consulting detective, faithfully recorded by his friend John Watson, Sherlock Holmes became famous for his astute reasoning and remarkable powers of deduction, while his address became known as a destination for those with problems in need of solutions.
We are proud to carry on this tradition, even from a world away.
The distinction is clear.
Software and accounting are remarkably similar, if you think about it.
They can be your best friends, providing guidance, insight and efficiency designed to make your life easier. But they can also become your worst enemies, stealing your time, your patience, and delivering nothing but confusion, frustration, and feelings of helplessness.
Should you find yourself in need of assistance, come to 221 B, where we view these precarious situations as wonderful occasions.
Each provides a puzzle to solve (and we love puzzles), a twisted caper to unravel, an assignment to study and learn from, and at the end of the road, a solution that is both rewarding and beautiful at the same time.
Of course, not all are like us. Many shrink away from the unknown, forcefully closing their browser windows in defeat, blaming the computer, the tech support, the economics professor they had in college… and that’s okay. You need not go it alone.
Come to 221 B, where we exist to solve complex business problems. We both see and observe — the distinction is clear — and we tackle the most abstruse cryptograms with intricate analysis. We study data, draw theories from the facts, and lead you to your answer.
Simply put, we are here to help.
