CASE HISTORIES

	Self-Employed Businessman
	A self-employed consultant...

"Patrick began servicing my tax and accounting needs when he purchased the practice of my long-time CPA who was retiring. When my bookkeeper needed assistance with recording transactions in our Quickbooks ledger, Patrick came to my office and assisted her in recording the transactions. Then he met with me and inquired about the operational and financial performance of my business, and briefly explained the differences between reporting financial results under the accrual versus cash methods of accounting. I learned more from Patrick that day than I had learned from my other CPA in years."

"I have since hired Patrick to prepare a compiled financial statement that was required for a construction bond application, and also to advise me on the sales tax rules for my contracts. I have been pleased with the quality and timeliness of his work."
