This is the first year Orlando has done our books and I am impressed. My primary concern was thoroughness and that he was. He listed and accounted for every receipt the way I (used to) do it. I felt relieved when I handed him my 'shoebox' of papers and receipts (well, actually it was a crate), and even more so relieved when I saw the detail of the finished product. Frankly, I will admit to certain trust issues, as I have often found in life 'if you want something done right you have to do it yourself' coupled with a case of 'why pay someone else to do something I can do myself'. It is more so true if and when a job not done right will end up costing me more money in the long run in the form of paying higher taxes because everything wasn't included. The highest compliment I can pay Orlando is to say he has cured me of that in handing me a final product that looked like one I would produce, in accounting for every dime in the way I would. I know that I am not alone in the sentiment "why pay someone else to do something I can do myself", especially in this economy. However, I know have two things that I didn't have before I handed my paperwork and receipts to Orlando: peace of mind and my taxes done. Perhaps I have acquired a third lesson in the process: learning how and when to let go. There are many people who will not identify with what I am saying, but perhaps there are some that do. Handing over my 'shoebox' was not necessarily a sign of resignation, but a decision to prioritize my time, lesson my stress level and choose quality of life over a 'To Do' list. Next year Orlando won't be prying the crate out of my deathgrip of control. If you're anything like me, give Orlando a try. It is my belief that you won't be disappointed. read more

My small business has been utilizing the services of I AM Bookkeeper for past 2 years. My only regret in hiring I AM Bookkeeper is that I did not do it years earlier. Like many small business owners, I was keeping my own books on Quickbooks for years. For awhile I was reluctant to turn over the bookkeeping duties to an outside company. I found that when I finally hired I AM Bookkeeper I was able to focus my energy and effort into building my business and not wasting a lot of time trying to do the bookkeeping job. Now, I spend my time bringing in more business which has increased my bottom line. I AM Bookkeeper also provides detailed reports which helps keep our business lean and efficient. These reports have allowed me to trim expenses in an amount greater than their service costs me. Effectively, they pay for themselves. Their service is top notch and the work is very accurate & reliable. I highly recommend any business doing their own books to hire I AM Bookkeeper immediately. You won't regret the decision....only that you did not do it sooner! read more

Thank you, Orlando for taking me in as a new client on such short notice and your effort in helping me to organize my bookkeeping. I have gone through quite a few frustrating years regarding my tax issues, and you are one of the best professionals I have found. These are a few more positive things I like to mention: 1. DISTANCE - on my way to work and on my way coming home from work, so it's very convenient to drop off/pick up documents. 2. GREAT COMMUNICATIONS - any questions or concerns, Orlando responses almost immediately or in a quick timely fashion. 3. PROFESSIONALISM - always on time and giving bookkeeping/business related advice to be compliant with the law. My experience at "Iambookkeeper" is superb. Please save some headaches and contact Orlando for all your bookkeeping assistance. I highly recommend him because it's difficult to have someone to do his/her job right. read more

As a busy business owner, i found myself putting off doing my bookeeping each month and found myself falling further and further behind.

Now i can focus on doing what I love in my business...selling houses, and I don't have to worry about the details of my books.
