EMPLOYMENT HISTORY – FLORIDA

QuickFix For QuickBooks – Home Based Company Presently

Bookkeeping/ Accounting services and Quickbooks training/tutoring. The mission statement of my company is in the title. I fix the accounting/recording messes (i.e. chart of accounts/AP/AR/Payroll) created by untrained employees or individuals who purchase Quickbooks and don’t have an accounting background or understanding of the software. I also work with clients on their needs and set up their Chart of Accounts accordingly and work out from there to what they want to see on their reports. I train the client’s employee to utilize the software and to feel comfortable with it and I am available to consult with if needed. This is a “side job” for me and done mostly weekends and evenings depending on the client. I have several CPA’s that refer me to their clients and we have a great working relationship. This helps me with my degree and with extra credit.
