EXPERTISE WITH LOCAL ROOTS AND NATIONAL REACH

This is a success story that embraced persistence, partnership and always working with and looking out for our customers best interest.


We are very involved with the Coachella Valley business community. In 2014, a local CPA named Kelli Cox, was working with CVEP on their financial statements. CVEP had laid off their Controller. Kelli didn’t have time to do many of the accounting tasks they were requiring. She knew we were Abila Certified Consultants and brought us in to meet with Lesa Bodnar, Chief of Staff of CVEP.

Kelli recommended us to take over many of the accounting tasks due to our knowledge and expertise. CVEP also wanted additional training on Abila software for their staff. Mike Renner trained the staff on General Ledger, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable. Laurie Renner went onsite weekly to work on the Abila software, make accounting entries and at the end of the month reconciled their bank statements. She also worked with Kelli to make sure the financial statements and board reports were ready for the board meetings. Laurie has been working with this client ever since. It's an ongoing success story for 3 years now.  

Some of the comments from the Chief of Staff - Lesa Bodnar are:

“Laurie reconciled some previously undiscovered items.”
“Laurie was thorough and consistent”
“There were cost savings and no additional staff needed”
“I would absolutely recommend.”
 
Laurie has extensive experience in all accounting functions and has acted as a controller for many of our Abila, Sage 100, and Quickbooks clients for months and sometimes years after installation of the software.
