Great to Work With

Being a small business, I was looking for somebody who can help me transition my books into QBO at the minimum cost. Michelle asked me very specific questions that made it easy for both her and my company to convert without wasting any time. Thus, the cost of the conversion was minimum. She also took the time to train me so I can do most of the day to day transactions correctly on my own. Great person to work with.

Awesome Bookkeeper

Michelle is awesome. She is super efficient and keeps my business books like a machine. She is also very thorough and asks questions when needed, but after working together for 2 years it is seldom. I have had quite a few bookkeepers over the years and struggled getting all of information to them. She is able to do most everything online and it has been one less meeting or errand I have to set up to get her information. If you need a bookkeeper, hire Michelle!

A True QuickBooks Pro

We are so lucky to have found Michelle! As new business owners, my husband and I were overwhelmed with starting and understanding QuickBook’s online software. Michelle has been there every step of the way answering our every question no matter how small or stupid. She takes the time to explain the steps we need to take to get our books in order and doesn’t skip on the why’s and how’s of QuickBook’s inner workings. She is personable, professional, reliable, timely, and we trust her explicitly with our business. Without her, we’d be in real trouble come tax time! We highly recommend Michelle and with her help, our books are balanced and our business is truly moving forward.
