I have been working with Laura for the last 14 years. Not only is she good at bookkeeping, but she is even more fun to work with. I would highly recommend Laura to any friend who needs bookkeeping services."
Trevor Hein - Best Office Staff
I have worked with Laura since 2017. As an entrepreneur starting a new business there are so many time consuming tasks. Having Laura take on all my bookkeeping was a huge help which allowed me to focus on starting and scaling my business. Over the past 7 years, she continues to manage all my business interests. I have both US and Canadian companies. Her knowledge of both Canadian and US tax law is a great resource to me. She is trustworthy and available when I need something quickly.
