Here’s what our clients have to say about us:

QuickBooks Training

The recent QuickBooks course I took with By the Book Accounting was a true eye opener.  Although, I had limited working knowledge of the software, Bernadette did a fantastic job of not only giving our class the ‘nuts and bolts’ of the software, but she also told our group why we were doing what we were doing.  This has helped tremendously especially when remembering most of the features.  Our company is so much more efficient in its billing and financial tracking by using the techniques taught by Bernadette.  I would highly recommend that all business owners hook up with By the Book Accounting to get their financials under control or think about getting registered for an upcoming Quick Books course. Lisa McDonald, My TrueBiz Business Services

Bernadette recently set me up with QuickBooks as a brand new entrepreneur. She was patient with me and explained the complexities of QuickBooks very plainly to assure that I grasped the concepts. She calls me periodically to check to see how I was progressing with keeping my books updated. She also set me up for my upcoming tax filings, and gave me valuable advice for maximizing my tax savings. I am enjoying working with Bernadette, and I am looking forward to a long lasting business relationship. Doreen Reese Nunnally, Doreen Reese & Associates

If you are a business owner looking to get your financials simple, easy and accurate…call By The Book Accounting. I once was lost, but BTB has found me… and rescued me out of a state of financial confusion. I highly recommend BTB…I even recommended them to my old accountant. BTB came in and implemented an easy payroll system and took the time to PROPERLY train me on managing my company’s financials. With BTB’s help, my company is finally ready to obtain special certifications that will take us to the next level. Thank You Bernadette!!!!! Tanya Nooner, Nooner Initiatives, Inc.

I received personal QuickBooks training that helped me to move forward with my accounting records. By The Book Accounting is highly recommended for the accounting expertise that Bernadette Johnson brings to her clients. I appreciate her patients and answering my questions very detailed and non-accounting terms I could understand. The fear of opening QB to spend long hours to record YHS books is gone! Thanks Bernadette! Africa Riviera, Web Consultant,  YourHostSolutions.com

I met Ms. Bernadette Johnson in November 2004; she was a presenter at seminar that I attended. She impressed me so much that I sought her help to solve some problems that I had working with QuickBooks. She has been helping me with my accounts since then. I have lots of respect and admiration for Ms. Johnson; she is a true professional. Dominique Naar, Director, Fellowship Senior Day Care Center

Tax Preparation

When I got a letter from the IRS, I couldn’t figure out what they were doing sending me a bill and a check!  I didn’t know what to do, so I took it to my accountant.  When I arrived in her office, Bernadette got on the phone, called the IRS and resolved the issue in a matter of minutes.  Come to find out…..the IRS had made a mistake!   It’s so good to have Bernadette as my accountant!” Jean Vallee, Permit Management Group

“From the moment I met Bernadette Johnson, I was impressed by her grasp of accounting and tax principles, the clarity with which she explained complex issues and her level of organization.  I have worked with masters of taxation and tax attorneys who haven’t given tax issues the kind of thoughtful attention Ms. Johnson has.  She is superb!” Dr. Debra Greenwood, President, Atlanta’s Best Home Nursing Care, Inc.

Last year I did my own taxes and owed money. This year I went to Bernadette and she helped me get back money! I made more last year! She rocks and is on top of her game and affordable. I will never ever do my own taxes again! Lea Perry, Atlanta, GA

I went to Bernadette after finding her on Kudzu. I used TurboTax and did it myself last year. I decided to use a professional this year. She not only got me way more money back she charged me only a little more than I paid to do it myself. She is quick and very affordable. I will be using her again next year. Thanks Bernadette! April Gilmore, Atlanta, GA.
