A friend of mine recommended that I sit down with Laurie LaBrie as she knows I am a small business…read moreowner with some questions and concerns about improving morale and acquiring better relations with my staff. We discussed various aspects about my business, ranging from some concerns I had with the staff members' behavior to recommendations for how to deal with a problematic employee I was hoping to let go. One thing I found to be particularly interesting was that during our discussion, Laurie not only took the concerns of my employees into consideration, but seemed to be very concerned with the health of the business (and making decisions with that being of the utmost priority). As she has a B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance, these matters come second-nature to her. This sets her apart from the majority of HR companies. We brought Laurie in to sit down with our staff. She was able to easily identify where there was a disconnect with certain staff members, and find a way to remedy the problems we had communicating effectively with one another. She was able to express my concerns in a way that was non-threatening to the employees and brought about a great improvements in their behavior. I couldn't believe the way she was able to handle every situation we presented with care, humor, compliance and business sense. I can't recommend Laurie and Integrated HR highly enough!

They should look to Integrated Human Resources to outsource that expertise and let the experts handle their HR compliance issues. Laurie and her team are experienced, savvy, well versed in compliance.

Nakata Consulting is an essential piece of my business life!!…read more But for the rest of this review let's just be on a first name basis and talk about Joe. I would have probably given up the whole self employed business long ago if not for Joe. I found Joe through some other colleagues in the Boston photography network years ago. I'll admit I was more than clueless about how to keep my bookkeeping organized and he took me under his wing, took the chaos and made sense of it all. Now I do most of the bookkeeping on my own and he gives it a look once a month to make sure I'm on track. In a "teach a man to fish...." sort of a way. Monthly, quarterly and annual taxes are a breeze now and I can confidently make business purchases and know the overall health of the business. If you're a small business (he has a keen knowledge of the photography business - take a look at his client list!! http://www.nakataconsulting.org/links.php ), but also for restaurants, etc... He'll do your sales taxes, bookkeeping, consulting and all at reasonable rates. I've referred him to friends (non-business owners) as well and he'll definitely take care of you. So walk right past H&R Block and call Joe!

I checked back for over a year at least it has been deposited before the thirty-first of the month, some months it being more than three days before. When I found this out, I called the phone number I have always called 1-800-656-4328. I was put on hold and was told that my wait was 1 hour and 25 minutes. WHAT? I then went to the computer to look for the phone number of any branch only to find out that now their customers can no longer do that because every single branch now lists their phone number as 1-800-656-4328. Can everyone say CRAZY! Now every single credit union customer has to use the same 800 number. I have never heard of anything this insane. They have just lost multiple generations of the same family. I hope more are to follow.
