Dear Foothills Consulting Group Client:

I want to let you know about an exciting development here at Foothills. After much thought, I have decided join forces with a larger organization in order have the resources to provide a broader and deeper set of service to you and future clients. As of April 28, 2009, I have officially merged with CFO Selections, headquartered in Bellevue. My role as QuickBooks Consulting Group Practice Manager will help me to leverage CFO Selections' talent pool of experienced CFOs and Controllers in order to better serve your needs.

CFO Selections is a group of 30 financial experts who provide consulting and executive search in finance and accounting. Over the past few years, Foothills and CFO Selections have been close strategic partners and we have both overwhelmingly heard our clients ask for two things: experienced CFO personnel and robust Intuit
® products overlaid with processes and controls. Neither of our companies was able to provide both on our own, but bringing them together under one roof is a very natural fit and will enable the combined group to offer an expanded and seamless set of services to our clients.

The CFO Selections QuickBooks
® Consulting group will be focusing mainly on QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions and QuickBooks Point of Sale, however we are always available to help existing clients with any questions or concerns you may have, regardless of your current software platform, or to help you with exploring changes to your software in the future. If you have questions about your existing software, or about this transition, please feel free to call me directly at 425-444-2524, or email me at eric@cfoselections.com.

If you are interested in part-time CFO or controller services, or you need someone to help you find a permanent financial executive for your firm, please call CFO Selections managing partner Tom Varga at (206) 686-4480 ext. 123, or email him at tom@cfoselections.com.

More information about CFO Selections is available at www.cfoselections.com.

I would like to stay in touch with you through this transition, and therefore if you do not wish to added to our mailing list, please let us know by sending a quick email to quickbooks@cfoselections.com.

Warm Regards,

Eric Downs
