TESTIMONIALS
“Marilyn helped us get started by creating a solid chart of accounts. And once our financial system was up and running, we were able to communicate with and attract investors.”
“For over 15 years, Marilyn managed our financial accounting and prepared our taxes. She is reliable, communicative, ethical, and very dependable. I cannot recommend Marilyn too highly.”
“Marilyn Drobenaire helped me with the emotional roller-coaster following the death of my mother. She accompanied me to meet my investment advisor to discuss the need to create sub-trusts. She calculated the estimated reserve for the master trust as well as the initial funding amounts for the sub-trusts. She also helped track the various transactions between accounts.”
“Marilyn helped us make a successful transition from an outdated accounting software system to QuickBooks. And the results were overwhelmingly positive. She allowed us to view our company’s progress from year to year, implement budgets, and make management decisions vital to the long-term success of our firm. We are grateful to Marilyn for helping us when others could not.”
“We opened shop in 2009, and Marilyn quickly established our financial reporting system. As we grew and investors and other financial parties demanded more of us, Marilyn helped us with the expansion of our financial reporting systems.”
