Our History

Mitchell Humphrey was founded in 1977 by Mitchell O. Humphrey. Prior to starting the company, Mitch was a partner-in-charge of consulting for a 4-state region at Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. (now KPMG). 

Based on his extensive experience in public accounting, Mitch saw a void in the accounting software market. He knew there was a market for highly flexible, feature-rich accounting software, and was determined to develop “an accountant’s” accounting system. We introduced FMS-80, our first solution, in 1980 and followed that up with the first release of our current FMS II system in 1993.

In 1999, Mitchell Humphrey employees acquired a controlling interest in the company through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or ESOP. As Chairman of the Board, Mitch continues to provide strategic direction and guidance.

In 2002, Mitchell Humphrey acquired the rights to GovXcel; a full suite of Community Development solutions (Construction, Property, Zoning, Land Use, etc.) as a way to broaden our software offerings to regional and municipal governments.  Now fully integrated into our FMS II software applications, this suite of solutions is now known as GSS (Government Software Solutions).

In 2008, Mitchell Humphrey and Microsoft teamed up to combine Mitchell Humphrey’s expertise in building innovative products that enhance citizen satisfaction while improving back office effectiveness, with the proven technology and process controls included in Microsoft DynamicsTM CRM 4.0.  The result was FastTrackGov; a full suite of an on-demand, subscription-based revenue management solutions for a variety of organizations including municipalities, counties, government agencies, special districts, and taxing authorities.
