Testimonial from Hear 2 Learn, PLLC
"Financial management is a complicated task for any small business owner. For my company, it requires careful sets of eyes on the various facets of the work we do; so, the transition from an "in-house" financial manager to an outsourced team certainly felt like a risk.
Dermody, Burke and Brown's Custom Accounting Solutions was so worth the risk.
Their team of accountants and managers assisted and offered support for me and my office team every step of the way. They are the careful set of eyes I needed so I could focus on the leadership my company needs. I couldn't be happier with the outcome."
