Testimonials

See how we helped other companies

I recently worked with Rachel at Gentle Frog. She helped get Quickbooks set up with my new business so that I can track money in/out of my business. We "met" for an hour and it was very helpful. I have a good understanding of how QB works and how to code expenses, income. I sometimes get nervous about trying new programs and Rachel was able to explain things in a way that was very easy to understand. It was important for me to get QB set up correctly from the beginning. Highly recommend working with Rachel if you want to get your bookkeeping set up correctly. Well worth the $."

"Rachel has a wealth of knowledge and excels at making her clients feel comfortable learning and implementing the skills she is teaching. With the understanding that small business owners are not all accounting gurus, she tailors each experience to the needs of the client. Her expertise and demeanor helped me to understand how to be more efficient and accurate in my QuickBooks recording without me being overwhelmed. Thank you Rachel for helping me get my QuickBooks sorted and getting me on the right track!"

"Rachel is AMAZING! I used to work in the medical filed and now run a construction and a sewing business. I tried to do QuickBooks on my own. I made a MESS of my books. And that is saying it nicely. Thank goodness for Rachel. Durning the first coffee and chat online I had with her, I knew she would be a perfect teacher for me. She is extremely knowledgeable and prompt. She utilized her time well on our 15 minute paid lesson. She also has a great sense of humor which helps ease my anxiety a lot. I will be having more sessions with her and am confidant that what I learn will stick and have the peace of mind that she will always be there for me when I need her. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

As a new small business owner I needed a lot of help. Rachel has been patient and thoughtful the whole way through. Best of all she is an exceptionally good communicator and enjoyable to work with!

Rachel helped me with a complicated project for a non-profit client. I'm thrilled to have found her! She explains things clearly, teaches step by step procedures with patience and humor, is highly organized and efficient, and combines a keen eye for detail with a gentle, calm manner. Then she sends a video of our work so that I can review what she taught me. I recommend her highly. This is one of the best investments of time and money I have ever made.

Rachel is a highly skilled and competent bookkeeper. I have been running my businesses for 10 years and have never had a bookkeeper like Rachel. I can completely relax and focus on what’s most important and trust that she has everything taken care of. She is also a great communicator and will explain things very easily. She is very professional and will also communicate with the accountant. I highly recommend Rachel.

Rachel is ever so patient with the idiosyncrasies of my repeat mistakes. As a small homeowners association, as the treasurer, I have been very happy with our relationship and my ongoing update training with QuickBooks. Rachel was my first exposure to QuickBooks and I knew absolutely nothing about it, but I had a good accounting background. She is a wonderful teacher and knows so much about how QuickBooks works inside and out. I highly recommend her services!
