MEET THE TEAM
Stuart Phillips, CPA
President
I am the Master Developer and ½ owner of Convergence Technologies, ltd. I have been doing Sage 100 programming and consulting since 1996, the blue screen days for those of you that know what that is. Denise and I split our time between our places in Syracuse and Churubusco, Indiana. We have one child, Shannon who is married, and is a practicing attorney in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with two little kids. I graduated from Manchester College, where Denise and I met, with a B.S. in Accounting. Prior to becoming a Sage consultant and programmer, I started out as an internal auditor, corporate account, and the a Controller at a few different companies and industries, such as Healthcare, Construction and Non Profit ministry. I got into the Sage consulting, because I wanted to get out of the day to day accounting, and I was good at being able to understand what the customers were needing and able to turn that into solutions that worked for them and their companies. Some of my hobbies are watching sports, spending time on the lake and enjoying some R & R time with our daughter and her husband and the two grandkids.

Denise Phillips, CPA
Vice President
I am the other ½ owner of Convergence Technologies and Stu’s wife of 35 years. My responsibilities include Sales, Marketing, Administrative, and Consulting on accounting/tax issues as it pertains to the setup and maintaining of Sage 100 and Sage Intacct. I graduated from Manchester College (long before it was Manchester University) with a B.S. in Accounting. In my career life, I started out at a small CPA firm in Elkhart, Indiana, then worked for Geo. S. Olive (now BKD), and then Crowe Chizek (now Crowe) for my 20 plus years of public accounting. During my career in public accounting I was in the tax department most of the time, however when I started out at the small firm in Elkhart, I was know as the Queen of taking receipts and turning them into a viable set of financial statements. That experience has worked well for me over the years with the ability to be able to help clean up messes in company financial statements/general ledger. Some of my hobbies are reading, boating and enjoying family time, especially with the grandkids!

Margie Garber
Marketing Support
I joined the Convergence team in 2021 and help with the company's marketing and website design. I received my Bachelor of Science in Business Management at Indiana University South Bend in 2020. I have always been interested in design and making spaces or objects look nice, whether that be digitally or physically. The past three years I worked in Illustrator and Photoshop designing packaging and product images. When I am not working I still like to research design (specifically interior design), go on walks, and most of all I love spending time with my family. My husband and I have one daughter and one son, they bring so much joy into our lives. We are very blessed!

TESTIMONIALS
Pizza Hut Fort Wayne, Inc.
Convergence Technologies has been instrumental in the upgrading of our Sage 100. Stu is always ready to assist us with questions beyond our accounting software; such as Crystal Reports and FRx software. And as a bonus their newsletters and emails are informative!
Thank you Stu, and your team for more than 10 years of service.
-Diane Little, ERP Manager
Sensit Technologies
Convergence is wonderful when upgrading to the current version, I used to have to test the program myself over and over reporting the fixes with our prior software support. I no longer have to do this they do all the testing, they know their customers well and when the download is complete it is correct. This frees up my time to do what I need to do. I'd like to give a big thanks to their teamwork and efforts they have done for us!
