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!

Fate brought me to a chance meeting with Julie, at a mutual friends birthday party. I instantly…read morefelt comfortable around her; she was easy to talk to and listened, really listened to what you were saying. After meeting her and hearing about her services; I thought, how cool is she? Now - fast forward... Have you ever been (driving, sitting, staring into space) and think to yourself; what am I doing? I did that everyday for entirely too long, and then one of those days I remembered JULIE! I wasn't sure if she was the right person to talk to, but figured if she wasn't, she could point me in the right direction. I called her with one question, "What am I doing with my career in life?" I felt lost, and out of sorts. For once in my life, I really wasn't sure if the path I was on, was the right one for me, and I needed a professional to coach me. I needed direction from someone I trusted, and trusting Julie was very easy for me to do. After our initial conversation, a barrage of things came out - things I thought had nothing to do with my career/life question. One week we're talking about a business plan, the next week, it was anxiety and mental ticks; how to approach a difficult conversation with coworkers, superiors and my husband; what could potentially be the next step for me; entrepreneurship?, writing a business plan, my marriage ceremony! We covered A LOT. And this isn't therapy folks, this is a trusted partner who has a crazy amount of experience in life who helps you. I.E. she is a true coach. If you still aren't sold; think about playing a sport, you have a coach right, someone who might show you a different way to look at a play, or help you with your form, or listen to what you are saying, and translate it back to what they heard. This is what Julie does. And she does it well... Very well. And much like any coach - the work that was done between sessions; it was hard, don't let me fool you, she isn't going to walk into your life and throw some pixie dust on you and call it done. Some of the issues that surfaced were deeply personal and hurt to talk about. But those were my personal road blocks. And with Julie's help, I have overcome them, and work everyday to keep overcoming them. IMO; Julie can coach through work and life issues and everything in between. I am a different person than who I was four or five months ago. I am more passionate at work, a better wife to my husband, and have found my creative mojo again. Trust me, if you need a nudge to get yourself back on track. Call Julie, you won't regret it.

Review of service performed in 2014. Puneet Gangal personally consulted with my firm, delivering a…read morecurrent state report and recommendations for improvement. While our industry was not within his area of expertise, he had been recommended by an associate. The current state report was developed from employee interviews and data the company already owned. While it was nice to have a summary, there wasn't much of a value-add, unfortunately. There were known issues, primarily with a recent ERP migration, and we were looking for a way forward. The recommendations were delivered emphatically and, we thought, credibly. Turned out to be stunningly poor advice. The recommended solutions were costly and superficial, setting the organization back by at least two years, conservatively. In retrospect, the recommendations consisted of 1) conventional wisdom that could just as well have come from a quality hour with Google and 2) echoing back what the CEO already believed were the problems and solutions. For example, rather than call out the crippling lack of in-house expertise, the company was encouraged to--in effect--double down by engaging in still more complex, technical projects with even less in-house expertise. In fairness, one could say that the worst ideas may not have originated with Mr. Gangal. Then again, he did validate them. Personable guy, and maybe things would have been different if he'd been more familiar with our business or market.
