BASH Consulting — Bourne Again Solutions Hero
Enterprise-grade IT for Denver small businesses
Helping small businesses navigate through the world of IT disarray
BASH Consulting brings the systems large companies run — cloud infrastructure, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and financial systems — to businesses with 5 to 200 employees, with artificial intelligence (AI) working under guardrails you can audit.
What we do
Eight service areas that cover the technology a growing business runs on. Most engagements combine two or three.
AI solutions and intelligent automation
Artificial intelligence (AI) works best as a layer on top of automation you can already trust. We integrate language models and document processing over your existing systems — with guardrails, audit trails, and a person in the loop for compliance-critical steps.
OpenAI and Anthropic language models · Azure AI services · AWS AI and SageMaker · Google Cloud AI
Cloud services and infrastructure
Move off aging on-premises hardware and pay for what you use. We plan, migrate, and manage cloud infrastructure so you get enterprise-grade reliability without the capital outlay of a server room.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) · Microsoft Azure · Google Cloud Platform (GCP) · Terraform and CloudFormation · Kubernetes
ERP consulting
When spreadsheets and QuickBooks can no longer hold the business together, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) brings your operations onto one system. We have run these implementations in technical and functional roles, primarily in manufacturing and distribution.
QAD Enterprise Edition and Mfg/Pro · Infor ERP LN (Baan IV) and CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine) · Oracle PeopleSoft Financials · Oracle Hyperion Financial Management
Financial systems and accounting technology
A finance background is what sets us apart — we speak general ledger, accounts receivable and payable, and month-end close, not just plumbing. We design and automate the financial systems that keep you audit-ready.
OneStream and Oracle Hyperion (HFM) · BlackLine, Trintech, and FloQast · NetSuite and SAP Concur · QuickBooks, Sage, and Microsoft Dynamics
Data management and business intelligence
Turn the data trapped in your systems into reporting your leadership can act on. We design the data warehouse, build the pipelines, and stand up dashboards your team will actually open.
Microsoft Power BI and Tableau · Snowflake, Redshift, Synapse, and BigQuery · SQL Server and Oracle · SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and Azure Data Factory
Custom software development
When off-the-shelf software does not fit, we build software that does — and connect the systems you already run so they stop living in silos.
Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and C#/.NET · React and Node.js · Flutter and React Native
IT strategy and consulting
We plan to work ourselves out of a job. Our strategy work favors building your team's capability over creating a permanent dependency on an outside vendor.
AWS, Azure, and GCP (vendor-neutral) · Microsoft, Google, and Oracle stacks
Managed IT services
Keep the technology running so your team can focus on the business. Ongoing support that scales up only as much as you need — useful when you have no in-house IT, or one person who needs backup.
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace · Windows and macOS endpoints · Cloud backup and recovery platforms
Problems we solve, by industry
If one of these sounds like your week, that's usually where an engagement starts.
Professional services
Law, accounting, and design firms juggle time tracking, billing, and document management across tools that don't talk to each other — so billable hours leak between systems.
Connect your systemsConstruction and trades
Field data reaches the office days late, project costing runs on guesswork, and the next software purchase is a five-figure bet nobody wants to make alone.
Get a vendor-neutral roadmapLight manufacturing and distribution
QuickBooks has run out of road — inventory lives in spreadsheets, and orders, stock, and the general ledger no longer agree with each other.
Plan the move to ERPHealthcare clinics and dental
Intake forms, referrals, and records eat staff hours, and every workflow has to respect what the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires.
Automate the paperwork safelyMulti-location retail
Point-of-sale (POS), eCommerce, and accounting never reconcile without a manual pass, and seasonal traffic strains systems sized for a quiet month.
Reconcile automatically in the cloudNonprofits
Donor data is scattered across spreadsheets and inboxes, and every grant report takes a week of copy-paste that the program budget can't spare.
Put reporting on autopilotHow we work
Every engagement follows the same four-step arc, scaled to the size of the project.
1
Discovery
A free conversation about your systems, data, and goals. You leave with a clearer picture whether or not you hire us.
2
Plan
A scoped proposal with a timeline, a cost range, and the outcomes you should expect — no open-ended retainers by default.
3
Deliver
Phased implementation so you see value early and the business keeps running throughout.
4
Support and transfer
Training and knowledge transfer so your team can run the system, with ongoing support available if you want it.
An AI-augmented practice
We run our own operations the way we advise you to run yours.
This site, our internal reporting, and much of our delivery work run on governed AI pipelines — version-controlled prompts, deterministic scripts underneath, a person reviewing anything that ships, and an audit trail on every step. So when we recommend an AI overlay for your back office, it's an approach we already trust with our own.

Frequently asked questions
What is BASH Consulting?
BASH Consulting (Bourne Again Solutions) is a Denver-based IT consulting practice that helps small and medium-sized businesses adopt the technology once reserved for large enterprises — cloud infrastructure, ERP systems, financial systems, and AI-assisted automation.
Who does BASH Consulting work with?
Small and medium businesses of roughly 5 to 200 employees — professional-services firms, construction and trades, light manufacturing and distribution, healthcare clinics, multi-location retail, and nonprofits, mostly along the Front Range.
What services does BASH Consulting offer?
Eight areas: AI and intelligent automation, cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP), ERP implementation and support, financial systems and accounting technology, data management and business intelligence, custom software development, IT strategy, and managed IT support. Most engagements combine two or three.
Which cloud platforms do you support?
We work across the three major providers — AWS, Azure, and GCP — and stay vendor-neutral, so the recommendation fits your workload rather than a partnership quota.
What ERP systems do you have experience with?
QAD Enterprise Edition and Mfg/Pro, Infor ERP LN (Baan) and CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine), Oracle PeopleSoft Financials, and Hyperion Financial Management — in both technical and functional roles, primarily in manufacturing.
Do you work with QuickBooks and other accounting systems?
Yes. We design, implement, and support accounting systems including QuickBooks, Sage, and Microsoft Dynamics, and we specialize in the QuickBooks-to-ERP jump when a business outgrows its books.
Can you help us adopt AI without replacing our current systems?
Yes — that's our whole approach. We layer AI on top of deterministic, auditable automation over the ERP, accounting, and data systems you already run, with guardrails and a person in the loop for compliance-critical steps.
Can you help migrate our systems to the cloud?
Yes. We plan and execute infrastructure moves, system and database migrations, and data-warehouse builds across AWS, GCP, and Azure — a typical migration lands in 1–3 months with no large up-front capital investment.
Do you provide ongoing support and training?
Yes. Beyond implementation we provide training, knowledge transfer, and managed IT support, so your team can run and grow the systems rather than depending on us indefinitely.
Where is BASH Consulting located?
We are based in Denver, Colorado, and serve small and medium businesses along the Front Range and remotely across the cloud platforms we support.
