I’ve been working with Julie since I bought my business in 2009.  In that time, she has saved me a tremendous amount of money on accounting fees, guided my bookkeeping staff through QuickBooks problems, worked through technical glitches, handled IRS and other government agency issues for me, and has provided sound business advice.                                                      

Whenever I have an issue with the government, legal, taxes, payroll, or general business that I’m not sure about, I always go to Julie first.

Using humor, attention to detail, patience, and mentoring, Julie has solved QuickBooks mysteries, fixed mistakes, helped us navigate IRS regulations, and taught us how to manage business finances.  She also offers tips and tricks to make QuickBooks more efficient.  Julie has many years of experience as business owner and consultant, so she understands the challenges of running a business and satisfying customers, all while meeting federal, state, and city requirements.  We’re lucky to have Julie to advise us on everything from bookkeeping to business strategy and we look forward to working with her for years to come!

We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found Julie, who uses her knowledge and expertise to get things done quickly and expertly. She attacks the work as if she owned the business, always trying to find a better solution and save me, as a business owner, time and money.  I trust and value her, as she has been vital to the success of my company.

“I recently got a notice from the Department of Revenue that they were going to audit me and my blood pressure immediately shot through the roof; but Julie explained the procedures of an audit and showed me we were in good shape. She prepared all of the accounts and stood in for me with the auditor. Everything went fine, and I was about as happy as a guy could be who has gone through an audit, thanks to Julie.”

“I own an electrical contracting firm and went to Julie in 2009 when I wanted to put in accounting systems.  She provided me the QuickBooks support I needed to customize my QuickBooks set-up and has changed it as my company has grown.  She also set-up payroll as I added employees and trained office staff as I brought them on.  And whenever I get a letter from the government, I pass it on to Julie to handle as she knows her way around the agencies.   The big benefit is having good numbers available when I need to analyze my company and profits.”

“When I bought my business five years ago, I knew all I needed to know about the front of the house.  Back of the house?  Not so much.  Julie has literally been with me since Day One, handling financials, taxes and government dealings.  She is my sounding board and confidant, using her knowledge and business experience to help mine grow.  She is a small business owner’s best friend.”

“My wife and I have a custom landscape architecture and construction business.  We were struggling with QuickBooks and feeling a bit lost between the burdens of government paperwork and keeping our files current.  Our CPA recommended Julie, and she soon had our payroll straightened out, our sales tax in order, and got our systems so on track that we actually filed our taxes early this year!”

I have a boutique coffee roasting company, and after several years in business I took over the bookkeeping. Julie provided me with the QuickBooks support I needed to untangle the prior years’ accounts in QuickBooks and to get our files tax ready.  She helped me to understand QuickBooks and simplified the bookkeeping for me.  She continues to talk me through some of my more challenging transactions!
