For years, I've been avoiding dealing with my finances, let alone considering starting a business and managing both personal and business finances. In my mind, my financial records were a mess, and I hesitated to let anyone see them, fearing judgment. However, I trusted Michelle, though I didn't realize just how much she would support me through my fears. She immediately provided me with statistics that reassured me, making me feel not just normal, but even better than normal. She swiftly organized a system that made it incredibly easy for me to understand the true state of my finances. Once I could see everything clearly, my fear dissipated, and I realized I was in much better shape than I had thought. Having everything neatly categorized for both personal and business finances makes me look forward to next year's tax return instead of dreading it. Michelle isn't just knowledgeable; she's also compassionate. Because of her, I feel like I can finally breathe again, knowing that my hard work in earning money is not in vain. THANK YOU, MICHELLE!
