I've used Financial Connections for 12 years, 2 companies. Very thorough, friendly and easy to work with.

More of a fly by night sort of a place than an actual business. Pretty sure no one that works here is a certified accountant. Had to email them literally ten times a month to get a simple profit and loss. Would neither use nor recommend.

I highly recommend Financial Connections, LLC! They take the time to understand the clients needs and strive to ensure they are delivering in all areas. Excellent customer service, personable and professional.

Wendy and her group are too notch! Now, I can focus on running my business and let them handle the rest.

Wendy & team are very responsive and professional! Can't recommend them enough. We've been in business for years and Financial Connections is our go-to for any payroll or bookkeeping related activities. They keep our books organized. Don't fall victim to being a do-it-yourself-er -- hiring a professional pays dividends!

We used to spend hours on our payroll and payroll reporting to the State and Federal government even though we never had more than 2 employees at any given time, not knowing for sure if it was completely accurate. As a small business owner, that kind of time and uncertainty will make your head spin! Financial Connections alleviated us of our worries and time spent on payroll and tax compliance, all we have to do is e-mail, telephone or fax in the employee hours each week and Financial Connections takes care of everything else.

Financial Connections is diligent about keeping us abreast of any new developments in tax laws, payroll practices or software that could simplify our internal record keeping. It's so nice to be able to call your payroll company whether it's for something minor or not and know that it will be taken care of immediately and done correctly. I highly recommend Financial Connections to anyone who is searching for an efficient and committed payroll company that will meet all of your payroll needs from beginning to end and offer the personalized service any Small Business owner would appreciate.

Wendy and Renea continually express their expertise, which allows us to focus our attention on the end products of our business. They have always been available on short notice to fulfill a request, which is greatly appreciated during periods of high volume.

We get peace of mind from knowing that both our books and our taxes are handled properly and efficiently with Financial Connections, LLC. We highly recommend them as an addition to your financial team.

To Whom it May Concern:

Power Products & Services Inc retained Financial Connections to assist in our firms bookkeeping and accounting activities. Financial Connections combines personal and responsive service along with an impressive Remote Computer access to our firms QuickBooks Account. The QuickBooks account is accessible through any Internet connections, which is extremely helpful and allows me to work on bookkeeping issues when traveling away from the office.

The necessary computer security protocol is in place to ensure there will be no hacking into their system database. In short, Renea and Wendy have been a pleasure to work with. In particular, I am impressed with their responsiveness to questions (almost immediate) and patience in teaching me how to work within the QB system. Best Regards,
Tom Hamilton

As the co-owner of a soon to be opened new restaurant, I was seriously considering doing our own payroll processing. As we prepared to open and I realized the many tasks ahead of me, I began to understand the benefits of having an outside service. In considering which payroll company to utilize, one of the deciding factors for choosing Financial Connections was the benefit of using another local, family owned business.

Financial Connections was able to set me up quickly and was very helpful to a brand new company. They explained the process thoroughly and described in detail their time saving services, and offered their expertise and experience at a competitive price. Financial Connections has been very accessible, often responding to my needs instantly via email or phone, and they are always both friendly and helpful. I would strongly recommend experiencing Financial Connections personalized services to meet your business needs!
