Oscar J. Muro
“We’re a 17-year-old marketing agency and have managed our books internally. Hiring CoCountant in 2024 was the best decision I've made in a long time. Our Quickbooks account needed a lot of cleanup which they did as a 1st step while providing sound accounting recommendations. Each month they do a great job of managing our books and reporting. As they get familiar with our business, they’re handling my time-consuming tasks like payroll. I would highly recommend CoCountant.”
Colleen Rupp
“I've recently stepped into a new role as the COO within the company and have started working more closely with two of CoCountant's bookkeepers, both of whom have been a great addition to our team. We are a small company, so we are small and mighty, and having a contractor do our accounting for us has been a great option. They've been a huge help with getting contractor payments in and payroll, and have been readily available and willing to help with whatever we need. We definitely want to continue using them moving forward because of that availability and because of their knowledge.”
