Micheal Anthony

Customer Success Manager

When Michael was a sophomore in college, the warehouse where he stocked shelves implemented V1 of Great Plains on an original IBM PC – and since he had taken an ACCT 101 course, he was the logical choice to be the bookkeeper. That started Michael's long obsession with automated accounting and organizational efficiency.  He became a support technician with a fund accounting developer, moving into managing the consulting department for a large CPA firm. There, he worked with individual organizations and large groups, training them to automate their finances and improve their processes.  He joined AccuFund in 2008 in a sales role, but now, as the Customer Success Manager, he enjoys helping clients get the most out of their AccuFund System – just as he always has.  

 

In his spare time, Michael enjoys hiking and biking with his wife and playing with his grandchildren.
