Thomas J. Helsing leads the Small Business Services Group (SBSG) of Cottrill, Arbutina Professional Services. He is based in the firm's New Brighton office.

The Small Business Services Group specializes in addressing the challenges of small business owners by providing QuickBooks® financial software consulting, payroll services, general business consulting and outsourced bookkeeping. Many companies today enjoy the time and cost savings associated with outsourcing bookkeeping and payroll allowing the business owner to focus on the "business" of running the business.

Among the clients Mr. Helsing serves are a range of school districts, municipalities and boroughs, non-profit organizations, professional services firms, and small manufacturing and retail businesses in many industries. One client, a French-based company, sends a batch of data to the firm, which performs the raw data entry and then uploads the client's total U.S. financial picture to a secure website online within 24 hours. The client also retrieves and reviews its data simultaneously with its U.S. employees, and/or with Mr. Helsing and his staff, and approves payments and disbursements.

With many years of senior level management experience in a manufacturing setting, Mr. Helsing has a unique perspective on how better accounting tools enhance client performance. His resumé includes tenures as a division general manager and as a sales and marketing manager, including international sales, procurement and plant engineering.

Before joining Cottrill, Arbutina, Mr. Helsing served as vice president and general manager of a division of Thermatex Corporation in Newton Falls, Ohio, a producer of high temperature refractory products. In this role, he managed three manufacturing locations (two in North America and one in Europe), employing 30 people. He had full profit and loss responsibility in this role, including creating and tracking budgets as well as supervising engineering, quality control and manufacturing staff.

Earlier, from 1993 to 1997, he was vice president of sales at the Alliance Machine Company in Alliance, Ohio, a manufacturer of material handling equipment. He also spent two years in Brussels, Belgium as manager of international sales development for a division of Vesuvius International.

Mr. Helsing received his bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Geneva College. He resides in Beaver.
