Gilbert McGloan Gillis
Saint John, NB

On June 1, 2002, Gilbert, McGloan, Gillis converted its accounting program from MANAC to Lighthouse. The conversion went very smoothly and with very few problems. All trust history, outstanding accounts/receivable and GL balances were transferred to Lighthouse without any errors.

Lighthouse is very user friendly while MANAC is not. There are on-screen help pages and tech support is literally only a phone call away. When you get an error in Lighthouse, your problem is solved for you on-line. We dreaded having to call MANAC with an error because they would give you instructions on how to repair your problem and told you to "let them know if it doesn't work".

The time spent creating invoices has been greatly reduced. Once you set up your billing formats, Lighthouse will produce your bills for you. If there is a need to edit your invoice, the procedure is much easier and faster than in MANAC.

While completing month-end reports, there is no backlog of next month work to complete. Lighthouse has special routines that allow you to continue processing daily work even though your month-end is not finished. The same goes for year-end. Journals are still posted to the GL for the new year even though the GL has not been closed for the previous year. In MANAC, the GL integration feature had to be turned off until your year-end closing entries were entered. Then you had to manually enter any journals you had for the new year. We have just completed our year-end and Dave Fullerton was especially helpful when it came to designing special reports for our auditors.

Obviously, we are extremely satisfied with our new software and have no regrets.

Weiler Maloney Nelson
Thunder Bay, Ontario

Our law firm has enjoyed the support of Mr Fullerton since 1985 when he converted our data from the previous accounting software to the Canterbury product. He has worked with us as we have moved from Unix to a Novell network, and made sure we did not lose any productivity in the process.

We have found the Lighthouse to be very stable and flexible. Mr. Fullerton has provided numerous customizations for us, and follows up promptly. The support he provides is unparalleled by any software company I have dealt with. The use of NetMeeting has been a real asset, and he is able to use it from wherever he is...

I recommend Lighthouse heartily...

Notre étude légale, LeBlanc Boucher Rodger Bourque, a récemment converti notre programme de comptabilité de "Manac" à "Lighthouse Legal Accounting".

Nous sommes agréablement surpris des avantages qu'offre le nouveau programme. Il accélère de beaucoup nos tâches de comptabilité, plus particulièrement les fins de mois, et il permet de garder plusieurs fichiers ouverts en même temps. Le tout facilite notre travail dont la réconciliation bancaire.

Nous sommes satisfait des services de Monsieur David Fullerton qui a fait des ajouts au programme de sorte à mieux l'adapter aux besoins particuliers de notre étude légale.

Nous recommandons vivement le programme "Lighthouse Legal Accounting" ainsi que les services d'expert de Monsieur Fullerton.

Our law firm, LeBlanc Boucher Rodger Bourque, recently converted our accounting software from "Manac" to "Lighthouse Legal Accounting Software". We are pleasantly surprised by the advantages which the new program offers. It accelerates many of our accounting tasks, particularly at month end, and it makes it possible to keep several files opened at the same time. In addition, Lighthouse facilitates the bank reconciliations at month end compared to Manac.

We are satisfied with the services of Mr. David Fullerton who made additions to the software to adapt it to the particular needs for our law firm. We recommend highly the program "Lighthouse Legal Accounting Software" as well as the services of Mr. Fullerton.

Burchell MacDougall
Barristers & Solicitors
Truro, Halifax, and
Wolfville Nova Scotia

Our firm has been using Canterbury/Lighthouse software, and has been working with Dave Fullerton, since 1990. We have stayed with the software through its various updates and improvements because we have been convinced that, of the available alternatives, this is the one which has best met our needs. The software is stable and adaptable, and we have gone through changes necessary for different network types and, most recently, installation of a wide area network connecting our various offices. The basic software does all the required functions for a mid-size law firm such as Burchell MacDougall. In addition, we have had quite a number of customizations which were needed for specific operating needs of this firm.

A great deal of the credit for this goes to D.L. Fullerton. We have worked with Dave Fullerton since 1990, and have enormous respect for his seemingly limitless capabilities. If we have a need, Dave can write a program for it. The customizations he has done have all been first-rate and timely. His response time for problems has been excellent, often using internet technology to correct problems that arise when he is on the road. His suggested solutions to our needs have always been right on target, for not only does Dave have extraordinary technical abilities, he also has a keen logical approach to any issue that has greatly benefited this firm.

In sum, I have absolutely no reservations about recommending Lighthouse and D.L Fullerton Consulting and Programming.

Patterson Palmer
Saint John, Moncton, and Fredericton
New Brunswick

Since 1989, our offices in New Brunswick have been using Lighthouse Legal Accounting Software and its predecessors. Throughout that period of time, David Fullerton has been providing support for that program.

In describing what David Fullerton has done for us, the use of the word "support" seems too narrow. Over the years, David has ensured not only that the program runs effectively and efficiently, but he also made many changes to it in order to customize the program to our particular needs. I am aware he has done the same for others as David will often implement for our offices changes that have been found to be effective for other law firms.

We have found the combination of Lighthouse and ProvideX to be extremely efficient over our network. Even though the server exists in Saint John, our offices in other cities can use Lighthouse in a fast and user-friendly windowed environment.

We have found David to be extremely cooperative and of great assistance when we have decided to change our network configurations to make use of new technologies. David has responded quickly to ensure that Lighthouse kept working across the network. Although we have only rarely experienced problems with this very stable program, DL Fullerton Programming and Consulting Inc. has always responded quickly to correct these problems.

We are very happy to recommend Lighthouse Legal Accounting Software and DL Fullerton Programming and Consulting Inc.

Atlantic Home
Warranty Program
Halifax, Nova Scotia

We are very pleased to say that we have a long-standing client relationship with Dave Fullerton. He has worked very closely with the Atlantic Home Warranty Program over the past 5 years in the migration of our application from Character based to Windows based. This work has fundamentally changed, for the better, the way that we conduct our business. Now our field staff has the necessary tools to do their job in an efficient and productive manner.

On a personal note, I find David to be extremely responsive to our needs. He is there when we call for help and as a small organization that is critical to us. We don't have the luxury of an in-house systems department and we feel that Dave is part of our family. Simply stated, he solves all of our problems.

I highly recommend his services to anyone, you will not be disappointed.
