"How was your experience with Iota Finance? My experience with Iota Finance has been exceptional. They handled both my business and personal taxes, in addition to providing high-quality bookkeeping and advisory support. When I fell behind on submitting my tax documents, they were proactive about filing an extension on my behalf so I wouldn’t miss any deadlines. That level of attention to detail and client care really stood out to me—they made sure everything was handled smoothly, regardless.

Our partnership with Good Measure Financial was easily the best decision we’ve made operationally in the last decade. We needed professional help from payroll/tax filing to best practice as a non-profit organization and GMF was the clear choice.

If I need Ben, he is available to give good, honest, friendly, and proactive help. You don’t have to lead their team to fix your problems like I’ve seen with other partnerships, Ben will find it and do it before asked. He is the guy and GMF is the team you want in a foxhole. If you’re a church and your finances are more characterized by chaos rather than order...
