Demand from clients of SALO sets new contract staffing firm in motion
NUMBERWORKS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES NEW STAFF-LEVEL TEMPORARY ACCOUNTING FIRM TARGETING WORKFLOW, PRODUCTIVITY AND OTHER STAFFING ISSUES FOR COMPANIES LOOKING FOR THE BEST PROFESSIONALS

MINNEAPOLIS – March 5, 2007 – NUMBERWORKS (www.numberworksllc.com) announced its official rollout today to meet the needs of Twin Cities companies looking for the best and brightest temporary accountants in the marketplace, after persistent client demand at NUMBERWORKS’ affiliate company, SALO LLC (www.salollc.com). NUMBERWORKS hopes to rapidly grow at the staff level, using the SALO model of fast delivery of high-quality, hard-to-find senior level finance and accounting consultants provided by SALO since 2002. The highly competitive local staff-level accounting temp market is valued at $100 million annually. NUMBERWORKS is confident that it will corner its share and reach their first-year revenue goal of $3 million -- despite the dearth of staff level professionals currently in the marketplace and lack of upcoming accounting and finance graduates in the field.

According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, in Minnesota alone there is a 22% projected job growth for the accounting profession through 2012 and accounting being the number one college degree sought by employers. NUMBERWORKS is led by former SALO Director of New Business Development, Gwen Martin, and a current internal team of seasoned finance and accounting recruiters, Angela Whitcomb, Maura Howard and Jeff Donnay (See BIOS).

“NUMBERWORKS has the network and the knowledge to help businesses succeed, to run leaner, smarter and faster,” says Martin. “Because the business world can’t wait when performance and productivity are at stake, we can provide key staffing – often the next day -- and help companies tackle their challenges. By sharing the award-winning model of our affiliate company SALO, we can also attract the best people either currently in the contract accounting field or the very brightest coming out of school who are looking for an exciting new career – complete with flex time and top benefits -- working for not just one great company in the Twin Cities, but a variety of them.”

“The demand from current clients of SALO asking for tactical and staff level accounting and finance help was the genesis of NUMBERWORKS,” notes Amy Langer, co-founder of SALO with John Folkestad. NUMBERWORKS launched March 5th but the demand is so great they have already had business on the books with several placements made and interviews in progress.

“NUMBERWORKS is not only a great value for companies looking for the best players in the market, it’s an ideal opportunity for people either looking for an interim role or ready to join the fast pace career track of a professional consultant, we can instantly expand their network and increase their exposure by working alongside the leader in the senior level-level finance and accounting niche at SALO,” explains Folkestad. “NUMBERWORKS employees will get the best benefit package available, the option to work as often or as little as they like, and enjoy the career guidance of our executive staff in a fun and innovative work environment that is designed just for them. Plus we work with some of the most exciting brands and companies in the area, which presents even more opportunity for personal and professional growth.”
