After graduating from Emory University in Atlanta, GA with a BBA in Accounting and Finance, Steve went to work for Sears, Roebuck and Co.. During his 20 year career at Sears, the positions he held included: auditor; accountant; accounting manager; financial systems analyst and implementation; and controller. During the mid 1980’s, Steve worked in the Sear’s home office at the Sears Tower in Chicago setting up financial systems for a joint venture between Sears and a Oriental Global Trading company, called Sears World Trade. In the late 1980’s, Steve worked on the initial setup of the Discover Credit Card program which Sears rolled out in Atlanta.

In 1990, Steve joined Crawford & Company, the world's largest independent provider of claims management solutions to insurance companies and self-insured entities, as the Catastrophe Division Financial Manager. In this capacity, he worked on: environmental; natural cause; and man-made catastrophe projects, such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill and Hurricane Andrew. With the need for rapid response and working under difficult circumstances, Steve was responsible for setting up temporary offices and financial systems in order to process client claims and billing and administer adjuster expense and commission compensation.

In 1993, Steve became an owner\partner in Paradime Solutions Inc. He joined his long time friend, Curtis Lau, in this entrepreneurial adventure. This position enabled him to use his experience and expertise in: accounting; financial system; personal management; problem solving; and interpersonal skills developed over a 23 year career.

Steve has made Atlanta his home since 1963. He is married to Candy and they have one daughter, Dana. During his Atlanta experience, Steve has been active in: the Atlanta Jaycees; Atlanta United Way; and Atlanta Empty Stocking Fund.

Curtis Lau

After graduating from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, NC with a B. S. in Business Administration, Curtis served active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and then went to work for Sears, Roebuck and Co. During his sixteen years with Sears, he held fourteen different job titles. At the time, the retailer was just developing and rolling out computerized systems that replaced manual procedures for handling sales, inventory, credit, payroll, distribution, cash management, and accounting in stores and distribution centers. After serving in accountant and controller positions, Curtis was involved in the implementation and ultimately the design of these systems, working out of the Department of Finance in Atlanta, Jacksonville, and Sears’ headquarters in Chicago.

In the late 1980’s, Curtis worked as controller of an Atlanta-based family of corporations. During this period, he learned in detail the accounting and operations of small to medium sized businesses. He selected and implemented the PC-based systems that allowed them to manage and control their business.

In 1991 he founded the business which became Paradime Solutions, Inc., and began his relationship with Accpac software. In 1993 an old friend from Sears, Steve Sakoff, joined Paradime Solutions as an equal partner. Paradime Solutions is a Sage Accpac Authorized Business Partner, and Steve and Curtis are Sage Certified Consultants. Paradime Solutions provides software sales and consulting services to small to medium sized businesses in many industries, as well as to non-profits and government agencies. Steve and Curtis use their backgrounds in business to provide business-oriented implementation and training services – to make the system work for the business, not vice versa.

Curtis has two daughters and two granddaughters. He is active in Rotary and was elected president of his Rotary club for the 2006-2007 year. He enjoys landscape photography, travel, reading, and a second home in the northeast Georgia mountains.
