Thank you!
"Thank you for your help, Christy! You need to know I have other accounting service options. However, I have appreciated your proactiveness and follow through. This speaks volumes to which all these or any ideas aren't worth the paper they are written on IF NOT implemented property. I believe YOU have that gift of proactiveness, gift of follow through with very cool software, and of course, an experienced team of CPAs behind you."

Saved Me $80,000!
"Christy's saved my business nearly $80,000 in tax liability with my IRS-accepted filings completed last month. I was referred to Christy's through a friend and decided to give it a try. Once they evaluated my situation, they began asking a series of critical questions that led to taking legal advantage of US tax regulations - things I never even knew existed, but are right there in the code for the savvy & enlightened ones to significantly reduce their tax liability. I don't have the time or interest to become my own tax expert. Christy's for life!"

Phenomenal Service!
"Christy has advised me and helped me out tremendously! If you have a business, utilizing her services would be the wisest investment you could make. With the amount of effort she puts in for you, she quickly becomes an asset. The precision and expertise in her bookkeeping, accounting and tax strategies is quite frankly mind blowing.Her incredible knowledge will save you thousands of dollars and possibly get you thousands back depending on your situation. I highly recommend utilizing her tax advisory services. I’ve never seen anything like it and the best part is that she very obviously loves doing it. She seems to genuinely enjoy finding ways to save you and your family thousands of dollars. If you, like me, don’t stay fully up to date on all the fun and exciting tax laws and ever changing information, she can absolutely be your wise counselor because she does this for you."

Highly Recommend!!
"Christy and her team are amazing! My previous CPA never took the time to work with me to plan strategically like Christy's has. Christy has changed my entire financial position by helping me understand how to make better decisions with my books that impact my taxes and save me money. My only regret is that I didn't find Christy's sooner. Highly recommend!!"

Great Bookkeeper!
"I found Christy on KSL 5 years ago and have LOVED working with her! She is very helpful and always on top of my books. I am now going to have her help me with my payroll. I have had to go to her home office a couple of times and she has always spent time working with me to make sure things were categorized correctly. I will never switch."

Easy to Work With
"Christy was referred to me and its been great so far. She was initially tasked with catching up 8 months of accounting that had not been done by our previous book keeper and was able to get it done, with minimal questions as to what everything was. I also have found that she is able to simplify the accounting so that I am not tasked with doing extra work or answering tons of additional questions/emails/texts after i submit the QB file. She is also easy to ask questions without feeling like I am bothering her. And she was literally doing my accounting on New Years Eve. Thanks Christy :)"

Peace of Mind
"Small business owners often do everything in the company. Keeping up the books is time consuming and takes time away from serving customers. Having Christy keep our books updated and analyzing our costs has been a tremendous benefit. Knowing that we have a very capable, detail oriented, trust-worthy, and experienced bookkeeper has given us peace of mind. I highly recommend Christy's."
