“When I met Melinda it was at a critical point in my business career. I had several businesses all in need of accounting and organization in order to go to the next level. Melinda dove right in and learned about all my companies and how I could maximize them. She has always been there for me over the past 10 years and I truly view her a partner in all my companies.”

“I have had the privilege of working with Melinda for over a decade in my various companies.  When I first met with Melinda, she set herself aside from many of the other CPAs I was considering by being prompt, professional, and showing her knowledge without betraying any client confidences.  She has done a great job for me with various engagements including personal taxes, partnerships, LLCs, and C and S corporations.  She has worked with my veterinary practices, non-profit entities, manufacturing business, and beekeeping supply distributor that has an e-comm site as well as a brick and mortar store.”
