The Consultant's Reference Guide is the bible for QuickBooks and accounting software consultants. Sleeter Consultants receive a hard copy version of the 600+ page manual, as well as access to a downloadable PDF, during their first membership year. Updates to the book are then available to Consultants in downloadable PDF format, or they may purchase a printed book at the deeply discounted price.

Sleeter Consultants are eligible to join our VAR programs, to earn incremental revenue by selling solutions that we've found to be superior accounting software add-ons. To learn more, visit the Solution Partners page.
Monthly Web Conference
A monthly Consultants-only conference call, hosted by Doug Sleeter, covers the latest accounting software news, developments, and member information. All Consultants are encouraged to attend live or to review the archived version on demand. The calls are generally held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 12:00 noon Pacific time.
