Patricia was super kind and helpful. I made such a mess of my account on my own and not only did she take the time to help me fix the mess, she took the the time to help me understand how to properly use QuickBooks. She was also super patient and broke things down into small pieces to make it simple to understand and execute and keep on top of. Her help was invaluable to me getting things fixed. I highly recommend her!
