Compass Accounting Group

Our Company History

Since 1986, Compass Accounting Group, a division of Pro Data IV, has been a trusted advisor to small businesses across the country. Born from the vision of four entrepreneurial founders with expertise in both technology and accounting, Pro Data IV set out to address the unique needs of small businesses. In an era where personal computers were rudimentary and the internet was a distant concept, Pro Data IV developed innovative software solutions, including the groundbreaking Business Solutions Software. This software, tailored specifically for small businesses, allowed them to manage their finances effectively in the early days of personal computing.

As technology advanced, Pro Data IV expanded its offerings, installing computer networks in small business offices and providing comprehensive technical support. A pivotal moment arrived when a client requested assistance with their bookkeeping after losing their dedicated bookkeeper. Pro Data IV stepped in, managing the client's bookkeeping processes internally using its own staff and establishing a new service: the "Bookkeeping Associate." This marked the beginning of Compass Accounting Group's commitment to providing full-service accounting and bookkeeping support.

Our Commitment to Service Innovation

Pro Data IV continued to evolve, continually refining its software and services. Recognizing the dynamic nature of small businesses, they introduced a unique "shared workload" concept, allowing clients to seamlessly integrate their own tasks with those managed by Pro Data IV's expert staff. This innovative approach offered flexibility, empowering businesses to choose the level of support they required while benefiting from Pro Data IV's extensive expertise.

Pro Data IV further revolutionized the bookkeeping industry by implementing "by-the-minute" billing. This transparent system, powered by automated internal tracking technology, allowed clients to see exactly how their time and resources were being utilized, ensuring complete accountability and reinforcing their trust in Pro Data IV's services.

The Birth of Compass Accounting Group

In 2015, Pro Data IV officially launched Compass Accounting Group, a division dedicated to providing comprehensive accounting and bookkeeping solutions under a clear and impactful name. This rebranding reflected the company's evolution and its unwavering focus on guiding small businesses toward financial success.

Today, Compass Accounting Group stands as a testament to Pro Data IV's legacy of innovation and commitment to small business success. By consistently adapting to the changing needs of its clients and leveraging cutting-edge technologies, Compass Accounting Group continues to be a trusted partner for businesses seeking reliable, transparent, and affordable accounting and bookkeeping solutions.
