What We Do

Fix the financial systems behind the work.

HBS works on the layer between the systems that run the operation and the numbers that show up in the financials.

01

ERP & Accounting Systems

Selecting, implementing, and repairing the system of record so it matches how the business actually runs.

02

Systems Integration

Getting operational data into accounting once, from the source, without anyone retyping it.

03

Workflow Automation

Removing the manual steps between a transaction happening and a transaction being recorded.

04

Management Reporting & Financial Control

Reporting produced by the system and reconciled to the ledger, rather than rebuilt by hand every close.

Joe Carnes, founder of Holden Business Solutions

Why Holden Business Solutions

Most consultants know one side of this.

An IT consultant can connect two systems but may not know whether the job cost that comes out the other end is right. An accountant can identify the financial problem but may not be able to fix the integration producing it. An ERP consultant knows the product, but not necessarily your operation.

Joe Carnes spent more than a decade at Standard Sand & Silica, first leading finance as Controller and CFO, then leading technology as IT Director and CIO. Same company, both chairs. Command Alkon Apex on the operations side, Dynamics GP on the financial side, SQL and reporting in between, and a three-entity structure carrying a $300 million asset portfolio by fair market value.

Four years in construction finance and project controls at a federal prime contractor added estimating, forecasting, project accounting, EAC, and Deltek Costpoint experience.

The goal is not more software. It is systems that agree with each other.

Fifteen minutes. Tell me what is breaking, which systems are involved, and how it shows up at month end. I will tell you whether it is something HBS can fix or something you should take somewhere else.

Platform-agnostic by design. HBS works with the systems you already run and recommends replacement only when the business case supports it.
