As importantly, he knows that in order to maximize the consistently profitable operations of an agency, it takes more than just the software to do so. There are many controllable and non-controllable issues including; agency culture, staff experience, client behaviors, type of client work offered, and even willingness to learn. Vince thrives on solving an agency’s software and operations issues as he so often hears the phrase “Vince, we do things a little bit differently around here…”. As one of Workamajig’s consultants, a successful implementation or re-implementation requires not only the understanding of Workamajig but also the melding of an agency’s language, the language of Workamajig, Accounting principles in the advertising industry and most importantly the accurate transfer of carryforward PM and Accounting data from the old system to Workamajig. Vince also works with Workamajig’s competitors so he understands the most efficient way of transferring data. Vince earned his CPA from E&Y and has a B.Comm from McMaster University in Canada. He also worked as the head finance person of an agency. Vince is currently Second Wind’s Operations Consultant. Vince has been servicing the North American advertising industry for over 35 years. Vince has also dealt with large and small agency reporting. Vince makes it a point to have agencies be on the same page as Workamajig and vice- versa.
