We are located in the greater Metro Toronto area, but with online support, we remotely assist our clients wherever in North America they may be.
Samuel Kopstick
Principal Consultant
Samuel Kopstick holds an MBA and a B.Ed in Special Education. Samuel began working in the computer industry in 1981 in a large accounting firm, training accountants and their clients on Visicalc (the “grand-daddy” of spreadsheets) running on the Apple II Plus.
Samuel has both a solid business background as well as a special education background. This enables him to relate to users, discuss and train complex business issues in non-technical terminology.
In 1988, Samuel became an authorized Accpac as well as a Softrak dealer. Since then Samuel has expanded to include expertise on accounting solutions, assisting businesses large and small in high-end accounting solutions.

Samuel says:
“I look forward to supporting my clients. I am especially pleased when clients derive value from their investment in their computer systems. It is absolutely incredible how much information lies within your accounting database! When we arrange and group the data in a format that allows for meaningful management reports; when the users can get to key data efficiently – this is very satisfying and makes the effort worthwhile.
My goal and my passion is to provide my clients with professional training and assistance so that they can operate their organizations successfully, and make the best decisions possible.”
Our expertise extends beyond Adagio Accounting, and includes TelPay for Business and PayDirt Canadian Payroll, which both feature seamless Adagio integration. We are also actively involved with Adagio in the Cloud installations.
We are located in the greater Metro Toronto area, but with online support, we remotely assist our clients wherever they may be. Currently we service clients both in Canada and the USA.
Samuel was a key element in our conversion to Adagio. We interviewed a number of other certified consultants, and I knew within minutes of our phone conversation that Samuel was the man for us. Since the initial installation onsite at our Pittsburgh office, Samuel has supported us remotely via internet from his office in Toronto. Samuel never skips a beat. He is always checking in, and often thinks of ways to improve our system. His background as a teacher is invaluable. Working with him has been nothing less than "excellent". We could not ask for a better consultant.
I would never use any other accounting software. I find the software provides the rigour that is needed out of an accounting software package and has a good system of checks and balances.
As a charity, the special non-profit pricing makes the package affordable and the software gives me the assurance that our records will meet the tests of the auditors.
Samuel Kopstick has provided amazing support from the very beginning – as I was learning the software, he did a lot of hand-holding and was always happy to do so. He is responsive and the very few issues that do arise are dealt with promptly. Samuel has happily provided support on upgrades and new installations, as well issues such as opening new fiscal years and so forth.
Due to the nature of our business, we maintain over 50 custom price lists for very specific items. Adagio has enabled us to easily manage this with ease.
Samuel has created numerous custom reports which we are able to run daily, weekly, and monthly.
Adagio has made standing by the filing cabinet obsolete. We look up customer history and within seconds re-print outstanding invoices easily. We access the system off site and enter orders, print quotes, delivery slips and price lists anywhere in the world.
Sam is always available, and trains us with clarity. If ever he is unable to come to our site, he can link up to our system and “take over the steering wheel”, and have us up in running very fast. It’s always professional service with a smile!
We used to run two reports a day. A pre-report at Noon and then after 2:00 pm, the final report. And each would take NO LESS than 35 minutes. What you did for us was "priceless", " life changing ". NEED I SAY MORE?
