Carissa was very knowledgeable and professional. Once we explained the issue we had with our financial reports she knew exactly what we needed help with. We will be using your services for bookkeeping going forward.
Thank you from all of us @ Veterans Stand Together

Carrissa wowed me and gave me a sincere confidence boost about the problem I found myself in. I felt like I had been thrown a lifebelt and could take a breath. I am on what is hopefully the right path now. I could not have gotten there without her. I appreciate her dedication and assistance in my project. THANK YOU!

Carissa was amazing to work with! She answered promptly even on weekends and was super transparent and easy to work with and answered all questions I had. I highly recommend her if you need to get your books in order and she helped me with a2x Amazon in my books and I have an e-commerce business so she’s definitely familiar with that.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
After a discovery call and assessment of monthly bookkeeping needs, I typically charge a flat rate monthly fee. This takes out all the guesswork so you know exactly how much you’ll pay each month for my service.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically I review the current status of their books. Once I evaluate the scope of work, I will provide a proposal. Upon agreement of terms, I’ll onboard the client to start taking over their booking and financial reporting needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an accounting degree from The University of North Texas and worked in corporate as a Senior Accountant for 15 years. In addition, I am a Quickbooks Certified Pro Advisor.
