HEIN and ASSOCIATES LLP’s deep roots serving companies in the technology, manufacturing, distribution, and energy fields will promote specialized solutions for each of these industries.
With offices in Denver, Dallas, Houston, and Irvine, California, HEIN and ASSOCIATES LLP is ranked by Accounting Today as one of the 60 top accounting firms in the country.

“We are very excited to have Hein on board as a Partner to start off 2010,” said Glenn Griffin, VP of Business Development at NetSuite. “Hein has a reputation in the accounting community as a leader in a number of key areas and this partnership gives customers the opportunity to benefit from their knowledge. Implementations provided by Hein will leverage their expertise in GAAP, IFRS, SEC Compliance and internal controls. NetSuite customers will also benefit from Hein’s deep understanding of the specific requirements companies need to be competitive in their industry. The combination of NetSuite software and Hein implementations can be offered at a cost that is simply not achievable by companies implementing ‘stone-age’ client server systems, even if they are delivered via the outdated managed services model.”
According to HEIN and ASSOCIATES LLP managing partner Larry Unruh, “Hein works with many public and larger private companies, so we wanted to partner with an organization that could support the complex operational and regulatory compliance that these companies require. But it also needed to be easy enough to configure that our professionals could layer their internal controls, audit, and industry expertise on top of the system without the need for a developer.”
“We’re very excited to partner with NetSuite because this system addresses both of these points. Our focus is on providing customized solutions that exceed our client’s expectations, and NetSuite’s software allows us to continue doing that,” said Unruh.
The partnership between NetSuite and HEIN and ASSOCIATES LLP comes at a time when cloud computing is gaining increased traction as the preferred deployment model for business applications. Gartner recently forecasted the SaaS market to have a 17.7% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) through 2013, nearly five times the total application market’s 3.6% CAGR. Gartner Dataquest also recently released figures showing that NetSuite has joined the ranks of North America's top ten ERP vendors by revenue.
