Cassandra is on it! I came in with my boxes of "stuff," and stressed, and she figured out right away what was going on with my taxes. She gives good counsel-I know I am in good hands with her! Having Cassandra handle the biz end of things as my business continues to grow and expand will relieve me of trying to figure all this out myself! Stress relief!

Thank you so much! I remember those boxes of “stuff” 😊 and I’m so glad we were able to make sense of it all and take some of that stress off your plate. It has been such a pleasure working with you, and I truly appreciate the trust you’ve placed in me and C.L.A. Business Solutions. I’m looking forward to continuing to support you as your business grows — and hopefully keeping the “biz end of things” a whole lot less stressful along the way!

Cassandra is really awesome. She is an expert in her field as well as being a realtor. She found mistakes that my last accountant made and corrected them for me. She went through my taxes thoroughly and creatively. I was so relieved of stress to have her by my side. I can't thank her enough. Truly a wonderful stressfree environment that she created.

Creating a welcoming, stress-free environment is always my goal. I’m so grateful for your trust and support.

Cassandra and staff are excellent to work with. My favorite thing is that Cassandra makes time to explain the entire return, rather than just let you know if you owe or if you're getting a refund. I highly recommend this firm.

Cassandra and her team did an excellent job migrating our company software from Businessworks to Quickbooks. Could not be happier with how everything turned out and very much appreciated the great communication throughout the whole process. Thanks for all your hard work and making this transition painless!
Response from the owner · 8 months ago
Thank you, Tim — I truly appreciate the thoughtful review.
We’re glad to hear the migration from BusinessWorks to QuickBooks Online went smoothly and that our communication throughout the process was helpful. Conversions like this take coordination on both sides, and we appreciate your collaboration along the way.
Thank you again for trusting us with your business. We’re happy to continue supporting you going forward.

I was extremely pleased with my experience. Cassandra was more than helpful and very pleasant. She was very generous with her information, even tho this was a free consult. I will definitely go back if I have any problems with any bookkeeping issues, especially Quick Books.
Response from the owner · 10 months ago
Thank you for your kind review. I’m glad our consultation helped clarify your bookkeeping and QuickBooks questions. My goal is always to provide clear, professional guidance, and I’d be happy to assist further if you’re looking for ongoing services.
