About Us

Richard Carlton Consulting has been a premier consulting company on the FileMaker platform for over thirty years. Founded in 1990, RCC has grown to become a dedicated staff of thirty-four people, and continues to grow and expand to meet our customer’s needs.

From building custom apps, making personalized CRMs, offering one-on-one training, to creating video courses, RCC has a staff it can be proud of. Our Senior Engineers have experience in a wide variety of programming experience outside of FileMaker, our Coaches guide beginners and intermediates alike into a far better understanding of building their own CRMs, and our support team is always ready to quickly respond to incoming inquiries and requests for assistance.

Whether you are looking for your own CRM, Custom App, or education, RCC’s staff stands by our mission to support the customer in improving their organizations and lives in whatever way possible.
