I launched my business in June 2019. I was looking for an accounting firm that was good with helping new business owners set up. So far, I've been very pleased with Little Fish Accounting. I chose what they call "The Assist" package. With this package, they set up your QuickBooks and manage your books for a month; all along teaching you how to do it yourself at the end of a 3-month period. The team did a good job guiding me through the process. I most appreciate that Little Fish Accounting is very responsive. All my e-mail questions are acknowledged and answered within a reasonable amount of

I came to Little Fish Accounting after a bad encounter with a tax prep service, and in complete confusion over how to file business taxes, income taxes, and more. I felt dumb and was wary of getting the help I needed because I felt so incompetent. Thankfully, Keila was super understanding, professional, and patient with me, and I now feel capable and empowered thanks to the knowledge she's shared with me.
