Technology & Venture Capital

Barfield, Murphy, Shank & Smith helps companies in the technology and emerging industries including software development, internet design and controls, and online training.

BMSS understands the needs of small business owners, and since we are a professional service firm, we bring a unique perspective that has been developed through our own experiences in growing our company. Here at BMSS, we have successfully launched our own companies including Abacus IT Solutions.

We have assisted a variety of emerging companies with growth issues ranging from formation, budgeting & cash flow, access to capital, research & development tax credits, mergers & acquisitions, stock options, and public offerings.  As businesses grow, financial reporting continues to be increasingly complex. BMSS professionals can work with you to provide the accounting and auditing services related to the complex issues faced by emerging businesses.

BMSS has Certified Information Technology Professionals (CITP) on staff. CITP is a credential from the AICPA that attests to a CPA’s understanding of risk assessment, fraud considerations, internal controls and IT general controls, information management and business intelligence.

We are also actively involved with the Birmingham Venture Club and serve on the ASCPA IT Task Force.

Keith Barfield, one of the founding shareholders of BMSS, recently launched his new blog, "Barfield on Tech" with compelling, interesting, and straightforward talk to help technology companies sort out the “numbers” part of the business.
