Dec 12, 2024 Report
We are a small non-profit. We needed accounting advice and help with correcting some mistakes we had been making with structuring out QB ledgers and balance sheet. Plus we needed help setting up financial management of grants we have recently received. Our very positive experience with Leo consisted of his responsiveness to our request for a proposal, his availability, his ability to describe the plans to attack our problems and a timeline to do it, plus his personal nature which is very pleasant, gracious and thoughtful. I have complete confidence in Leos skills and his professionalism. I recommend him highly.

We dont know what wed do without Leo! Leo has educated us on Quickbooks in a patient and clear manner, and has helped us clean up the mistakes weve made prior to hiring Leo in our Quickbooks system. We also have Leo help reconcile our ledger and make sure everything balances and is coded correctly at the end of the month (every month). Having Leo and his expertisewe cannot say enough wonderful things about him, his work ethic, and his ability to assist business owners like us who are not CPAs, manage their financial responsibilities in a clear, understandable manner. Thank goodness we found him!

Leo was a great help to our company! He was able to answer all of the questions we had and did so in a way that was easy to understand. I highly recommend Leo to anyone who is having QuickBooks issues or really any accounting issues in general.

Leo was a lifesaver for my nonprofit organization helping us balance our books in very timely and efficient manner. He solved major reconciliation discrepancies in our Quickbooks system, which allowed us to generate a financial report required to submit a grant proposal. Leos care, expertise, and professionalism make him a valuable resource. I am glad I am working with him.
