These people are professional thieves. They promise to help but simply want to get your money. They were going to develop a project plan and a business plan and provide us with processes and procedures for monitoring our business for profitability. They were supposed to show us how to pull appropriate reports to see where problems are and how to fix.
They said they could do all this for 40 hours of consulting time. When the project manager arrived he spent a whole day reviewing what the evaluator had done the previous week (this should have been done beforehand, not on our time for which we were being charged $250 per hour). After the first day the project manager said to do all that was proposed would take about 100 hours to accomplish and our bill would be $25,000, when we were originally told it would be 40 hours for $10.000!
THEN, all the project manager did for the next 2 days was to show us basics about QuickBooks software. Their whole intent was to simply tell us to switch our operation to QuickBooks instead of Quicken. No written processes or procedures were developed, nor guidelines or information regarding reports and how to use.
They talked good and convinced us that we desperately needed their services but then they actually produced nothing to help us like what was promised.
These guys, especially Mr. Bruce Tullio (President of IBE), are simply crooks. They tried to overcharge us almost $1500 and we still did not received anything beneficial from their time.
We did a chargeback on the credit card because of the over charge, which was done through an auto body repair shop in PA.
Then Mr. Tullio called threatening us with a lawsuit, and saying he would put us out of business, ruin our credit and make us suffer personally.
These guys are simply professional crooks - NEVER let them in your door. Chase them away!
