Available for new projects

From spreadsheets to showstoppers.

ERP consultant by trade, performer by nature. I help businesses untangle their systems during the day, and play occasional showtunes at night.

Ben Childress

A little about me

I spend my days helping companies untangle their ERP systems — Acumatica implementations, configuration, and the unglamorous but critical work of making a business's back office actually run the way it's supposed to. I like the kind of problems where the fix isn't flashy, but the client feels it immediately.

Outside of work, I perform music, with a soft spot for showtunes and music direction. Different discipline, same instinct: find the structure underneath something messy and make it work.
