I signed up for a coaching session with him where he gave me excellent immediate feedback on my communication skills toward my clients, which actually focuses more on my listening and questioning skills in addition to how I make my statements of value to them. I have been able to ask for his advice in how to approach different situations and opportunities that have come my way and has been a great source of calibration of my efforts and encouragement through the normal challenges of new entrepreneurship. His calm demeanor and ability to provide authentic and personal perspective has provided me confidence and energy to keep pressing through challenges and continue my progress.

Well to begin with, she billed me twice last year. Every one makes mistakes. My mistake was…read moreselecting this firm to do my taxes. I've been a customer for years, and yet her office treated me like they had no idea who I was this year. So, yes, we did agree on one thing. This is not the firm for me. Unless you like impersonal, robotic lack of service, this is not the firm for you either. Expensive and impersonal are not qualities to look for in a service organization. May I refer you to H & R Block. That's where I'm going. Genevieve fired me, nah I quit.

Couldn't say more about how awesome it has been to have this team in my corner. As a small business…read moreand entrepreneur, I've been my own bottleneck for a long time. When the time came to find a solution for my backend, I didn't just want someone crunching the numbers without getting to know me, my business, and my goals. Enter Holly and her team.

I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

I find it a bit a challenge when I call and when they do interview me, they send me to an electronic "THING" that questions me and records me. I guess this is how it is these days with AI. What can you do? I guess you cant really get a real person to interview you these days. Oh well - Ill just say I feel SO SO for this company.
