Surround yourself with the Best
There are many rules in business, but two that resonate with me the most are 1) Surround yourself with the best; and 2) Build on your strengths, Hire for your weaknesses. It is with these two rules in mind that I am pleased to offer my recommendation for Janet Clapp, ‘Accounting 4 Success’ and the services that she provides. Her professional expertise and guidance in the areas related to bookkeeping and accounting along with financial analysis and planning allow me to focus on the more creative and physical aspects of my business that I enjoy the most. With the type of schedule that my business requires, it is imperative that I work with someone who is accessible, great with follow-up and can anticipate and troubleshoot different business scenarios that may present themselves. Working with Janet and her knowledge and services allows me to be efficient with my energy – it does not get much better than that.
Monmouth Conservation Foundation enthusiastically endorses the services of Accounting 4 Success (A4$)
It is with great pleasure and our utmost respect that Monmouth Conservation Foundation (MCF) enthusiastically endorses the services of Accounting 4 Success (A4$). A4$ has provided accounting system support to our organization for over two-and-one-half years. Their expertise in both QuickBooks (QB) and Excel has been outstanding. Through their efforts, they have improved and maintained the integrity of our QB books, including the chart of accounts and all related QB items. Through training of our staff and constant monitoring they have ensured that all transactions are properly recorded. As needs arose, they worked with MCF staff to understand the events behind each transaction to ensure the utmost accuracy. A4$ has worked with the MCF treasurer, the executive director (ED) and internal bookkeeper with the preparation of financial statements which accurately reflect the type of reporting unique to MCF (a land trust). To accomplish these tasks, given certain limitations of QB, A4$ created a unique set of QB and Excel-based reports including actual results compared to prior year and current year budgets, plus special analyses as required by the MCF finance committee. As necessary, A4$ provides financial interpretation (what do the numbers mean) and supporting analysis to staff, the ED and MCF's finance committee. A4$ also provides assistance in the preparation and completion of annual budget reports. Another important A4$ task is in the area of cash flow management. A4$ prepares monthly bank reconciliations for MCF's various operating accounts, customer payments via credit cards and MCF's two major investment managers. To assist MCF with optimum cash disbursements, A4$ set up the methodology to calculate true cash balances in order to prioritize vendor disbursements. As MCF's cash flow is not uniform throughout its fiscal year, A4$ provides forecasts of cash flow position to insure funds availability when needed. During their tenure with MCF and our experience with their outstanding professional services, I enthusiastically recommend Accounting 4 Success as an accounting services provider.
My confidence in her abilities is without question.
Janet is one of those people you want in the front of your rolodex next to your banker and attorney. I consider Janet to be a trusted business adviser and any business owner would be happy to have her close at hand. I originally began working with Janet in her capacity as a Certified QuickBooks Consultant. I would bring her into clients to help improve their businesses or to solve problems. As I continued to work with her, I discovered that not only did I like what she was doing for my clients, but what she could do to help my own business. The qualities she possesses in the discovery and execution phases of her approach are quite good. My confidence in her abilities is without question.
