We have used SISCO for over 10 years for personal and then had a bright idea to start a business. Let me tell you something...just because you know how to make & sell the best damn widgets does not give you a bookkeeping or accounting license! Small Business owners: if you "think" you know your accounting or let someone else just give you reports....STOP IT!!! Get a Pro like Annette LaBarca @SISCO Business Services...amazing! Oh & FYI...Quickbooks is a joke. So squawking over the rate is really not relevant if you want longevity and avoid having to talk to this crazy chick down at the local IRS building she is a beast not to be messed with (yep Annette kept her beat her back for us too!) Tina & Kasi handle our payroll and trust me it is complex for our line of work! They are always super nice when I need extra information for anything and we make updates quite regularly with the union wages and they get it done! Go in humble (remember your expertise is making widgets) and come out happy. SISCO rocks! read more

Called in for possible services for my small business: $300/hr for a consultation. ("You might not need one, though.") O-k? The simplest annual tax return preparation with no bookkeeping or calculation at all. This service has costed me between $225-$275 throughout the last 6 years with 2 different accountants. The price I was quoted here: $400-$700 Completely booked through this tax season, but they can fit me in later and file it with an extension, for a fee. I did inform them that I was a small sole prop business with less than 5 employees. My opinion, I felt that my business was not needed here, and no attempt was made to get it. Not with competitive pricing, availability, or without charging for their time. I did call in early March, but to prepare my return should only take a seasoned tax professional about an hour to complete, and at their quoted price, no thanks. Seemed like the "Neiman Marcus" of accountants, I'll stick to "Macy's" read more

I worked with Annette on my joint return with my husband and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I never realized how much money I was leaving on the table just trying to do it all myself with a Turbo Tax. I learned so much and received fantastic advice. It was great to do my return with a real person who cared about me and knew the answers to all of my questions. She was completely worth the money we spent because the amount we got back was exponentially higher than if we had done it online. Super knowledgeable and caring! I've also started referring friends here. Great office too. read more

I used to dread seeing an accountant or having my taxes done and now I almost look forward to the process. I first went to see Annette for business advice on a rental I own. She is approachable, full of knowledge, and can explain finacial matters in a way any layperson can understand. I now use her services to do my annual taxes as well. Her staff also gives the greatest customer service. They are always upbeat, they return messages by phone or email in 24 hours or less and they stay in close contact with Annette so you never feel like the staff is a wall between you and Annette. Try out Annette La Barca at Sisco Business Services just once and you will become a long tern client with one less part of your life you have to worry about. read more

I have trusted Annette as my personal accountant for 10+years and now as my business accountant. She is the best. I recommend her to all my friends and family. She is knowledgeable, up to date on current laws and trends and it seems every time I see her she throws me a little extra nugget of advice that she probably could of had me come in for and pay her extra for. She is awesome. read more

I've been with Sisco Business Services for a very long time. Annette is reliable, dependable and honest. She is very knowledgeable and cares... quick but take the time to explain what will work or what wouldn't work for you. Her advice is valuable in every which way: Retirement, investments, businesses and more. Throughout the years, I'd referred many coworkers and friends to her. The fee paid for services is well worth it! Great location and office too. read more

I used a tax accountant I was happy with for many years because I own my own business and taxes are definitely not my specialty! When she retired, I tried a couple of different folks before hearing about Annette and Sisco Business Services. They came highly recommended and now I know why! The office staff is friendly, helpful and responsive and Annette is wonderful! I feel well taken care of as well as feeling cared for and about. Between my business, my parents taxes, my personal taxes and rental property she handles it all with ease - listening to me, asking the right questions and just taking care of it!
