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.

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.

I had an excellent experience working with Leslie Dufresne at C-Suite Solutions. She uses…read morecreativity and strategy to foster successful employment relationships. Leslie helped me throughout the hiring process and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to work with a recruiter.   From our very first meeting, I felt confident that Leslie had my best intentions in mind. Leslie is well-connected in the community and puts her heart into her work. She listened to my goals and what I was looking for in a firm. My connection with her was instant. I knew she actually cared about my skills and attributes, as well as what I needed in my next job. Leslie was able to provide me with several leads during our first conversation. This process can be very stressful and it meant a lot to me to have her guidance. I never once felt pressured to make a premature decision. Leslie is frank, sincere, and has a positive personality. These traits helped me tremendously throughout the process.

I was referred to this firm by a family member, and she handled my 2024-2025 tax return. I provided…read moreall required documents more than a month in advance, but due to her workload, the return was submitted on the filing deadline. I was not given an opportunity to review the return before submission. Afterward, I discovered a significant number of errors that resulted in several thousand dollars in financial impact. I raised these issues with her, but she initially responded that the tax season was over. After multiple follow-up emails, she eventually amended my Form 1040; however, the amended return contained additional errors and made the situation worse. At that point, I had no choice but to hire another CPA to correct the mistakes and clean up the filings. I have never encountered a CPA with this level of incompetence. If your tax situation is even moderately complex, I strongly recommend staying away from this firm.

I was just referred and switched CPAs to Diana with/ DulceVida and could not be more confident in…read morethis decision. In our initial conversation with Diana, she was thorough on her expectations of the action items she needed from us up front and answered all our questions. (Also I want to note that she was accommodating to our after-hours schedule for this initial meeting - Im a true believer in work/life boundaries and that she was taking from her family for our meeting - this did not go unnoticed and was appreciated) Her delivery methods of our sensitive documents and information were comfortably secure. She was very timely with initiating our tax filings and reaching out with preliminary status. Our discussions with her were very motivating as we talked about additional types of filing options, write-offs, etc, all of which we were not aware of. She is very knowledgeable about the tax codes, including new and expiring laws. She kept us updated on the status of our filing and pending associated items, and followed up to check the status of our refunds. Diana's knowledge and confidence in what she does showed itself in just our FIRST experience with her. Her presence on social media regarding tax information is engaging and convenient. I look forward to her upcoming workshops and how much more we can learn from her about our taxes.

He knows step by step the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Fund and how to get his clients setup. He has done planning and management of my site investigation and really helped with evaluating alternatives by conducting feasibility studies. We are putting together a planning budget and he has showed me a detailed, yet simply understood cost analysis. This whole process was a bit overwhelming in the beginning, but now that I am working with Jeff it has set my mind at ease.

But when I finally made the call, Jeff took care of everything, told me IN PLAIN understandable ENGLISH how we could get this taken care of, and even showed me ways to get funds to support the process, it actually wasn't as big of a headache once I let a true professional take over. "Yippee, awe, sigh of relief, the job is done..." AND THIS IS ME NOW! My recommendation, just call Jeff, this is what I say to all of my friends, and to anyone facing as big of a headache as I was, just call Jeff.
