"Excellent! In working with Erica, I experienced a simplified bookkeeping process, a first time "window-to-my-cashflow-situation", and a "person on my corner" an advocate if you will, come tax preparation time. A shift in priorities at home led to no longer needing Erica's services. Erica's magic still lingers at the office and at home and am forever grateful for her help during a time of tremendous growth in my consulting practice."

"Timo has far exceeded expectations! I really don't understand how he does some of the stuff he does, but it is absolutely amazing! His level of detail and organization really compliments his financial knowledge and experience. From the day he started until now, Timo has completely revamped all aspects of the financial side of our business and now we are growing at an astonishing rate. It would not be possible without Happy Numbers!"
