Received a proposal. Went with a different provider but a couple years later was in need of a bookkeeper so emailed multiple times, but my emails went mostly unanswered. Only once did I receive a response stating that they would call me on a date certain, but I did not receive any call on that date. So I emailed a couple times after that, and a week plus goes by, STILL no response. Not sure what the issue is with this company's intake process, but it has been frustrating and annoying, to say the least. I would leave one star but I decided to go easy since my experience was only with the intake and not with the service itself. read more

I dealt with Autumn Ganser via email. She was extremely efficient and got me my ERC tax credit in 7 months after filing. Extremely reliable and honest. read more

I was so happy when I found ABP! I was looking to file for the ERTC, but my regular accountant wouldn't help me with it. She said it was too confusing and didn't want to bother with it, so I began my search to find someone who could help. I began on YouTube to learn more about it and I was so happy to find Candy's videos. She shared so much valuable information and when I emailed her with additional questions, she promptly replied. I hired them to prepare my 941-X's and they did it quickly and efficiently for a flat rate, not a percentage. A lot of companies out there want to charge you a percentage of the ERTC, but I appreciated the integrity of a company who just has a flat rate that they charge to complete the task. Thank you Candy and Autumn! read more

Incredible experience with the team at ABP! They are both professional and kind which doesn't often come with businesses. I have hired them to do multiple daunting projects like PPP and ERTC calculations for my company and am I beyond satisfied with the results. They are very quick to respond to all my questions during the processes. Highly recommend them! read more

I worked with Affordable on ERTC filings for 2021 for my small business. They were the only firm I found that did a flat fee which I greatly appreciated. The team was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and very timely in getting the needed documents back to me for my signature. At this point I couldn't recommend them highly enough. read more

Affordable helped my company file our ERTC paperwork for a FLAT FEE when all the other options were charging a percentage. Not only did they do this the most ethical way (in my opinion) they were super easy to work with, fast, and accurate! read more

I have been a longtime client of Candy and Affordable Bookkeeping and Payroll and have always been impressed with her attention to detail, efficiency and quick turnaround time. She gets an A++ for all three! I am writing this review today, however, because I recently switched to using Quickbooks online and had many frustrations and questions over the weekend in working in the new program to prepare my 4th quarter reports for her. Candy not only responded to my many text questions right away but agreed to meet me on a Saturday afternoon (!!!) to go over some things in person...and then on Sunday (!!!) she was there to respond immediately to all of my questions. She always goes above and beyond to take care of her clients and after more than 10 years of working with her I have nothing but the highest level of respect and confidence in her work. She and her team know what they are doing and get the job done! As a creative business owner this area is not my strength and to have someone like Candy to assist with this side of business is, as they say, PRICELESS! read more

In Los Angeles area for most of my business needs so I was in need of a bookkeeper Contacted abandp (as they are called). I made 5 phone calls over a week to talk to the primary bookkeeper but with No success. She is busy "out of office" doing "women in business club" stuff. This is a red flag if you're the primary owner and not looking over accounts or not overseeing non-certified staff in bookkeeping. So I am glad I did not sign up with them but it was a total waste of time calling them. It's negligence. The person who recommended me to them was another business owner and I complained to her and she told me she will be firing abandp soon because of the same issue of the primary bookkeeper always out on promotional stuff and always absent. read more

I took on the task of filing a 941X form to claim the Employee Retention Tax credit for my son's small business. After an enormous amount of research, and watching numerous videos on how to complete the form, I still had several questions on how to accurately determine things such as qualified wages, credit amount, etc. After much frustration trying to get answers, I contacted Autumn at Affordable Bookkeeping and Payroll Services. I had numerous questions over a three-day period. Autumn was very knowledgeable on the subject and answered my questions almost immediately in each case with a very positive attitude, never once acting as if I was being a bother. Thanks to Autumns knowledge and helpfulness, my son is getting a sizable credit on his 2021 tax return. I cannot overstate how professional, competent and easy to work with Autumn is. I highly recommend Autumn and ABPS for any bookkeeping and payroll services anyone may need. read more

I've used Candy Messer and her staff as my bookkeeper for the past 6 years and their service has always been phenomenal. They get your books done in a timely manner at an affordable and competitive rate and also help me file my quarterly sales tax.

They always respond to my emails promptly and help me pull any reports my accountant may need during tax return time.
