“When I first read about Focus CPA, what intrigued me to work with them is that they strive to help small businesses. After sitting down with Mary for my discovery meeting, I knew it was an instant fit! She was extremely helpful in structuring an outline of where I was, where I needed to be, and how we can get there, together. After just several months of meetings and cleaning up all my records with Mary, I am now confident in getting a loan for my business expansion. I will have accurate financial results, showing the evident growth my business is experiencing. This was all from the help of Focus CPA. I am excited about what my future may bring, and I owe much of it to the people at Focus CPA for helping me get there! To all my fellow small business owners, if you are in a financial rut and need some help, I highly recommend you call Focus CPA today! I promise you won’t regret it!”
