Barbara R

We have a small business, and needed help with hiring, employee termination, quickbooks, and all the laws that require alot of details. She is available to answer questions with a rapid turn around, and gives attention to details on a proactive basis. We would not be able to run our business without her company! I can’t think of anything I need to make this service better, but if she thinks there is anything, I believe she will be proactive in supplying that service before I need it. We HIGHLY recommend her!

Kris Pigman

I benefitted from competent and responsive service from the same CPA for the last 30+ years. Recently, with his retirement, I was forced to interview others to fill the void of requisite tax preparation and accounting services. I was apprehensive, cautious, and weary of trusting someone new. Thankfully, 5 Star came to the rescue. They have exceeded my expectations for experience, expertise, and proactive involvement in tax prep and planning. Responsive, professional, thorough, and friendly are all adjectives I can use to describe working with 5 Star. I trust them. They have filled the void. I’d strongly recommend their services to others.

Christie C.

Genevieve and her staff are very professional and personable. Highly qualified go-getters that made me instantly feel comfortable handing them my books. Prompt relies to requests, pro-active advice and even optional podcasts and webinars in related areas of financial responsibility. I am a new client, but will be a long-term client!
