We’re a group of forward-thinking, technologically-minded people who enjoy taking on new challenges.
For more than 10 years, Nexxtep has been helping companies like yours leverage IT to achieve bottom-line results.
Roots in Professional Services
Nexxtep was born out of an accounting firm, where co-founder and President Paul Nichols worked as a CPA, and co-founder and CTO Stuart Avera consulted as a software developer. Paul and Stuart saw a gap where premium IT services were not available in our area of Georgia. Shortly after, they recruited two additional co-founders, Bart Shiver and Ryan Williams, and Nexxtep was born. Through the years, our range of services has evolved and changed with the times, but our commitment to delivering quality results for our clients has not wavered.
Selecting the right people is a high priority at Nexxtep. Our employees want to be challenged and want to do whatever they can to serve our clients. Our clients are awesome people, and that makes Nexxtep a fun place to work.
You Are Not a Number
You deserve to be treated like a friend, not a number on a balance sheet. Relationships with our clients are important, not just because of a bottom line, but because you’re our friends and colleagues. When you need us, you can count on a quick and professional response from a knowledgable, friendly staff member that you know.
We take things a step further by serving as your proactive business partner. This means suggesting ways to save money, finding ways to do things more efficiently, and helping you compete better in your marketplace. We also work hard to provide ongoing education to our clients in the form of regular seminars, webinars, and our annual Partner Conference.
In Our Clients’ Words
The Nexxtep support team is gifted in their knowledge of IT. They are always professional, courteous and respond to our needs (big or small) as if it was the most important item on their agenda. Personal service with expertise. Nexxtep is a positive and very important part of our business. Thank you, Nexxtep.
Theresa Crumley, Dewar Properties
I can pick up the phone and actually talk to someone and know who I’m talking to, rather than listen to a recording until I’m directed to whoever’s turn it is to take the next call. I like having a specific team dedicated to our company.
Jeff White, General Manager, H & S Supply Company
Our IT capabilities have made us more efficient in serving our clients. That's bottom line for us.
Roger Horton, General Manager, Landis International
We have always been able to count on you for all of our technical support. We truly appreciate all you do for us and hope to continue our relationship for many years to come.
Denise Brooks, Colonial Bag Company
Nexxtep’s staff were delightful professionals to work with in designing our website. As accounting professionals we have high expectations in all things and with this project those expectations were indeed fulfilled. The one thing we requested was a website that “pops” and we believe that’s what we’ve received! They have filled our order in not only helping us make a good first impression, but to be resourceful as well. Nexxtep even educated us along the way with available options, suggestions, etc., including how to update it ourselves. We now have a website that represents us well and will grow with us.
