I found him through rave reviews and…read moresuggestions on the SouthCoast Girl Photographers Night Out group on Facebook and I could kiss everyone that sent us to him! Joe will meet with you and learn all about your business. He acts as an accountant, financial adviser and business consultant all in one! His advice has helped up clean up our back end and finally tackle sales tax and all the other things that made tax time a nightmare in years past! His rates are great, his service is fast and prompt and he is so easy to reach. We really couldn't ask for more. Thank you Joe, for all you do!!

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!

So, I was thinking that putting cash into the ATM for a deposit was equally seen as cash same day…read moredeposit....but I was ill informed. When going the following day to get a check cut, I was initially told of my mistake, but I really needed that check. Deb Hebert and the other ladies in this morning really took good care of me and made sure that we got this done instead of having to come back in again tomorrow. On top of all that great customer service, I LOVE the fact that they always give my travel buddy (Our little Corgi) treats...as well as always bearing the really talkative, over caffeinated guy with pleasant conversations and smiles. I actually could go through the drive through, but prefer to go in and say "hi"....it's that kind of a good, neighborhood place and yet another feather in Hudson's cap. Now if they only had an espresso machine.... :)

I am reporting Avidia HSA to SEC today. I have been trying for two months to get assistance to use…read morefunds from my HSA for COBRA payments. A valid, authorized expense, each time I call I spend 30-45 minutes they cannot help. My logins do not work and cannot reset login info. They say there is an issue with their website. So sorry. They say they will send a form by email to close account and get funds, of course the form never comes. Call back - start over- another 45 minutes of total frustration - polite but useless. I only have under 4,000.00 in the account. But I imagine they must have a lot of funds that go unused, no way to access your funds. I have documented all calls and will file today. Including the made-up names of customer service personnel, Sparkle, really? I know I won't ever be able to access my funds but I can at least notify my previous employer and the SEC. This organization is a scam.

Avidia manages Healthcare Savings Accounts (HSA) for people/clients. Their policy (verified by…read moretheir VP of Operations) is to withhold payments for valid healthcare purchases, even though it is not the banks responsibility to verify the validity of disbursements. Instead, they require that you follow a long process to be reimbursed by check, which allows Avidia to keep your money longer. Quite questionable integrity.

I would like to give a huge shout out to an INCREDIBLE practitioner, Laura Fleming of Reach Your…read moreHappy. Laura is a GEM! I had a coaching/Reiki session with her this evening and it was transformational. I highly, highly recommend checking out this brilliantly gifted change-worker if you're going through a tough time, are looking for a change, need someone to listen, could use an energy boost; or if you're simply ready to uplevel and become a better version of yourself and BE a human BEING. As a coach of sorts myself, I am super picky about who I work with and can honestly say she is one of the best, most authentic practitioners I have encountered! Additionally, she has a welcoming, beautiful space! www.reachyourhappy.com

I felt extremely calm and relaxed into a deep meditative state during the session. Laura is also highly intuitive! As I read through the email after of the insights she received during the session, it felt spot on for what I was feeling and going through. Much of her guidance and recommendations really resonated with me and I appreciate how thoughtfully written her email was. I felt supported and in high vibrations for at least the next week! Highly recommend either in person or a distance session with Laura. You won't be disappointed:)
