Katy saved my bacon! I really need her organize my business and get it from a Sole Proprietor over to a Corporation. She has been instrumental in making these steps for me. She is very knowledgeable patient and accommodating. Thank you Thank you Tank you!

Katy is a true professional. I've engaged her services for the last year and she took the back-office bookkeeping over which allowed me to focus on what I like to do most. I would highly recommend using Katy for your accounting needs either as the primary bookkeeper or to augment/audit your process.

I was on the search for a new accountant for months and was so fortunate to find Katy. She is very knowledgeable, honest and professional. In addition to doing all my business bookkeeping and federal taxes, we use her services for our personal income taxes as well. I highly recommend Katy!

Katy has really helped out my small business with bookkeeping and taxes. She met with me in person and regularly emails me to make sure I am keeping up to date on taxes and financial info. I have called her several times with specific questions and she has helped answer them. I highly recommend her for your small business or even personal financial needs. Thanks Katy!

For over a decade we have had our bookkeeping performed by an in-house employee. However, when the latest employee resigned for another position last year, we decided to outsource this function and after meeting with several candidates, hired Katy. Our only regret is that we did not outsource this years ago with her. Katy has been a wonderful professional. We run several small businesses and things are constantly changing and evolving. She has worked with us to organize and streamline as well as providing valuable accounting expertise. The quality that we appreciate the most is her can-do attitude and upbeat personality. Finding someone who can post entries and cut checks is not unique and there have been times where we need to work together to make sure things get performed properly (again- we have several businesses and tasks are not always obvious), but she is very quick to resolve and eager to learn. I would characterize our requirements as 'high-maintenance' and yet I have never had any communication issues. Katy has always been there for us with a helpful, cheerful and gracious attitude. For all these reasons, we hope that we can work with her for years to come!

Katy Carmichael is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and a genuine joy to work with. We are a small company in the first year of business and have our hands full with the day to day operations. We were looking for someone experienced and competent to manage the bookkeeping/taxes so that we could focus on building our business. She immediately put us at ease with her professional yet down to earth demeanor, expertise in our specific industry, and her qualifications which were made evident in our first meeting. She is always available for consult via email, phone or in person and addresses all questions/concerns in a timely manner. We are very pleased with her services and would highly recommend Carmichael Bookkeeping - you won't be disappointed. Relax, let Katy take care of it!

Katy has been great to work with! She took the headache out of bookkeeping and allows me to focus on my business. I used to dread each month end but now I honestly do not even think about it. Katy took control from day. She communicates directly with my accountant and asks me questions when needed but otherwise- she gets the books reconciled and closed each month on time. She makes year end and tax time a breeze!

Katy has helped us a lot with our books and with all of our accounting needs. She is very knowledgeable and very professional. She responds fast whenever we have questions or need something. Her prices are very reasonable too! We are very happy with her services. Highly recommend her.

We found Carmichael Business Tax Services online without even a personal referral and boy were we lucky! Our family has three small fast growing businesses and we were getting behind in book keeping as we grew. We wanted to find a service that would offer a full menu from the mundane of data entry to more in-depth high level consulting on systems, business and tax strategies. Katy Carmichael not only engaged in the immediate triage of catch-up work but also helped us to establish efficient protocols for smoother on-going management with high data integrity and documentation. She is a pleasure to work with and even supported us on-site. We feel confident that the technical advice and the systems recommendations and implementations we have received were accurate and appropriately customized to our needs. I see that someone gave a one star rating for not being quick to respond to their call, which is really too bad because we certainly have had the opposite experience. She has been proactive in all of our sessions both in terms of scheduling as well as initiating contact whenever we have had anything pending. We communicate regularly by email and when not available by phone we leave messages that are promptly returned. If you are looking for support with your business, be it a fledgling start-up or something more established we highly recommend you give Carmichael a try. Her customized services and years of experience have made an invaluable contribution to our businesses and we feel confident in bragging on her!
