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!

Her capacity to hear what was needed in my business influenced my actions toward incredible results.

Please if you are on the fence about coaching, give Liz a chance. You will not be disappointed.

Our first clients were all small businesses: up and coming auto dealers and a couple of service companies were among the mix. We knew that to compete with the larger, more established firms we had to be better. That meant doing more than simple compliance work. We had to help our clients find ways to succeed. From the first day that we opened our doors, our focus was and continues to be personalized customer service. Our clients became more than business associates, they became our friends and we have enjoyed helping them reach their goals.
