Great Partner

She performs all of our non-profit’s bookkeeping work at a reasonable monthly rate. Her work is always accurate and provided to me monthly for review on a timely basis. She is always available for questions or consultations when required. In addition, each year she interfaces with our accountant on the preparation of our 990 form for annual submission to the IRS. Cari is also a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor which has proved invaluable in solving some issues we encountered in the past regarding QuickBooks.”

My strengths are the marketing and implementing our production scheduling software tools, not the managing of the accounting. Utilizing Cari's services have helped me focus what I do best. Thank you Cari!!

After 16 years in business using Quickbooks it was time for a major upgrade, out with the old and in with the new. I reached out to Cari in the winter of 2024 to provide her with everything she may need to go in blindly to a set up My company that was currently using Quick Books Desktop, For January 2025. We have used Desktop pro for the past 16 years and I knew there was going to be quite a bit of a learning curve to move forward to keep up with the the ever-changing world of business and technology by switching to Quickbooks Online. Cari took over immediately without hesitation and with total confidence that she could get the job done, she offered a seamless transition. She provided me and my employees with live training and was able to answer every single question we had with the new software, Cari went a few steps further with me and provided me with significant yearly savings worked very hard to resolve issues on fees I was being charged for years. She also provided me with information about mistakes we had made in the past and got those corrected Cari also has had great advice on how to be more organized and maximize my business potential. Cari has provided me with great communication skills and uses communication software that is easy to navigate. She is very fluent in the QB language. I’m looking forward to many years of service from Cari Elaine Bookkeeping. Give her a call you wont be disappointed. THANK YOU CARI ! -Adam

Cari's methods for contacting her are appreciated. We at On The Spot Aid have favored the use of scheduling a call electronically which has been very handy. In an emergency situation, we obtain a quick response using text messaging. Cair's nonprofit expertise has been helpful in guiding On The Spot Aid to maximize revenue and create realistic budgets.
