Ever since we engaged Freedom From Accounting as our business accountant in late 2025, we have not stopped praising how efficient and professional they are.
We started our business two years ago and spent much of that time either lacking professional guidance or receiving inaccurate advice on both accounting and tax matters—until we found FFA. We were often frustrated and had to spend significant time running calculations just to make informed decisions about business investments or determine what we could realistically afford for tools and growth.
As an AI automation business, we need to continuously invest in software, technology, and education to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry. Before working with FFA, we struggled to generate reliable estimates and financial projections in QuickBooks, making even simple business decisions difficult.
With Renice and her team, who are exceptionally knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and proactive in both accounting and tax planning, we have been able to free ourselves from time-consuming bookkeeping and documentation. More importantly, we now have clear visibility into our finances and can confidently plan ahead—whether it’s investing in new tools, expanding our business, or organizing business travel.
Our documentation and financial reports are always up to date, and whenever questions or issues arise, their team is incredibly responsive and quick to provide solutions.
Their service is truly outstanding, and we highly recommend Freedom From Accounting to any business owner looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and professional accounting partner.

Also, convenient that I'm all the way on the other side of town that we don't have to come into the office when we can work remotely through phone, email, and video team meetings.
Love the improvements and glad they are changing up their services using better technologies over the years. Thank you for everything you do Rudy, Heather, and Renice!

Freedom From Accounting is top tier. My husband was looking for an accountant for his business and he left a voicemail and they responded promptly. We’ve experienced amazing communication and Renice and her team are hardworking. They literally live up to their name Freedom From Accounting. If you’re looking for an accountant don’t look elsewhere. You will not regret it.
