Jim Bottin's history in the industry began in 1974, when he opened his own martial arts studios in Arkansas. Five years later, he began expanding those studios into fitness centers. In 1981, ABC Financial was founded as a solution to the software and billing needs for Bottin's own chain of 13 health clubs. Beginning as a specialized solution for a private owner, ABC was so effective it quickly grew to a client base outside of Mr. Bottin's ownership-- a client base exceeding 3,000 health and fitness clubs across the country today.
By learning from our solid foundation and successes of the past, ABC remains devoted to focusing on the future--keeping on the cusp of industry evolution in service and technology, along with providing the highest level of commitment to our customers' success.
At ABC, we believe our customers should have no expectation below the highest standards. Maintaining these expectations of ourselves is what makes us the industry leader in our field.
