Owner, Woodrats Joinery

Just a quick note to thank you and tell you that our accountant has told me that you have done a wonderful job of re-setting up my QuickBooks, and fixing all the setting up errors I had. He also said that he probably only has a couple of other clients whose QuickBooks is set up professionally like mine. Once again thank you also for your promptness and willingness to help at all times of day or night.
