"Scott - just a quick note to thank you for your help this morning. It is a pleasure to work with you. You are easy to talk with and actually understand what I am trying to do with my QuickBooks. Having your assistance has made my QuickBooks a much more productive piece of software and well worth the money I spent for it. Thanks again! Vicky Elison, Owner KVI Enterprises Idaho Falls, IDo

"Denk Associates is a small, family run consulting engineering firm. We had always used a paper-based accounting system. It was a challenge to get correct and timely information to help us manage the business. We had been looking at several computer-based solutions for a number of years, but were unable to decide on the perfect fit for Denk Associates. After attending a QuickBooks class that Scott taught, we joined together to implement QuickBooks and streamline our systems. We are completely satisfied with the move to QuickBooks and would highly recommend Scott for his QuickBooks and financial management expertise." Michael T. Denk, Principal Denk Associates, Inc. Cleveland, Ohio

"Scott worked with us each step of the way as we moved out of our old accounting system and into the Contractors' Edition of QuickBooks. He also worked very closely with our CPA to ensure that the transition between accounting systems was as smooth as possible and that QuickBooks was set up to provide the information that both we and our accountant need. I would highly recommend Scott to any small business that wants to implement QuickBooks. He is very dedicated to getting the job done the right way." Alecia Kuenzig, Bookkeeper Kay Homes www.KayHomes.com Concord, Ohio

"We had been using our existing accounting software package for a long time. One of our main concerns was about the potential disruption to the business while we made the change to QuickBooks, but we knew a change was needed. Scott was instrumental in helping us determine the correct version of QuickBooks for our needs. He worked with us each step of the way and helped minimize problems and issues while we converted. He also helped me train our staff on how to use QuickBooks effectively. He continues to be a valuable source of support -- many times proving to be even more reliable than QuickBooks own staff. He's highly proficient with every aspect QuickBooks has to offer. We'd highly recommend Scott for your QuickBooks consulting needs."

He consistently responds promptly to each and every request. This is a man who actually does every single thing he says he will do. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and a great guy.
