Quail Oaks Financial, LLC

Subject: New Treasurer Debi, I am now the chair and not the treasurer of SCAC board, and have been waiting to hear what the new finance committee (yes, we actually have a committee!) decided they wanted to do before letting you know what is happening with the center's finances. There is CPA and a bookkeeper on the committee now who are willing to do all the bookkeeping, payroll and financial tracking pro-bono. It is an offer we just can't refuse. They will be taking over July 1, 2011. They would like you and I to completely finish out this fiscal year including posting all checks, year-end closings and payroll reports. And I will need to make sure they have any payroll related passwords they will need. I think I have all of those, but I'm not sure. I can't thank you enough for all you have done for the center this year. I would have been so lost without your help, guidance, teaching and, most of all, encouragement. You have taught me so much about bookkeeping, and patiently corrected all of the things that I just couldn't (or wouldn't) seem to learn. Because of your hard work, the center is now on a strong path to financial recovery. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you and hope we will have a chance to work together again sometime in the future. And, if you ever need a reference, you know I will give you a glowing one. Thanks again, Sandy Lazenby Chairman SCAC Board of Directors (Sandy Community Action Center, Inc.) more

In the past, I and companies I work with have used many so called QuickBooks experts with certifications. I have always been disappointed with the results. I found Debi Hambo about a year ago and she is truly the first QuickBooks expert who really knows what she is doing and can fix any problem in QuickBooks. I have many satisfied clients and will continue to refer QuickBooks issues, only to her, no one else.\r \r I have also searched for about 10 years, for someone who I felt was competent in accounting, that I could refer those clients to, whose needs I could not meet. I have tried many a person who said they were bookkeepers/accountants and it has rarely worked. Debi is able to go into any situation (especially very messy ones) and quickly determine the issues, and work diligently to have all accounts in order and balanced. It is then extremely easy for me to prepare a tax return from her work. I will refer work to her as long as she is still breathing.\r Debbie Oglesby, EA, LTC\r Troutdale, OR\r \r Debi is our QuickBooks super-hero. She assessed our situation (which was grim) and immediately knew just what to do. We had 2.5 years of poor bookkeeping practice, and an audit deadline coming up fast. Debi had us ready for the audit, and all our accounts cleaned up and ship shape in 2 months. How? She had the expertise needed to understand our business (which has unusually complicated payroll and challenging accounting needs). She worked long, grueling hours to make sure we made our audit deadline. I've rarely seen dedication and work ethic like hers...she really did what it took to get the job done! She's incredibly motivated - she has a true passion for her work, and knows how to get results. \r \r I highly recommend Debi Hambo of Quail Oaks Financial...she is truly a gem.\r \r D Baker, Finance Coordinator\r Portland, OR Pros: She a true expert Cons: She's busy more

Spent lots of time on the cell phone with other clients but billed for all that time, didn't keep appointments, did not stay close to quoted pricing. Pros: casual apperance Cons: didn't deliver as promised more
