CSSI at a Glance

In 1978, Dennis Read and Alex Drabant decided to leave NCR and create one of the most comprehensive accounting software package in the construction business. The primary objective of the company was to cater to the construction industry; consequently, their Cost Accounting Processing System was developed.  In 1980, the Texas based company began to expand and sell its software package nationally. As the company expanded, so has its software and the industries they service.  In 2006, CSSI added paperless imaging capacity that allows a business to review accounting reports, contractors, invoices, etc., without the added cost of printing.

Over the past 38 years, CSSI's software package has expanded from the basic General Ledger, Payroll, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable to a multi-tiered program that includes almost all facets of a business. CSSI continues to keep focus on their customers' business needs by offering the best custom accounting software and services in the industry.
