Wendy & team are very responsive and professional! Can't recommend them enough. We've been in business for years and Financial Connections is our go-to for any payroll or bookkeeping related activities. They keep our books organized. Don't fall victim to being a do-it-yourself-er -- hiring a professional pays dividends!

It has been a pleasure this past year doing business with Financial connections. They have proven to be a very successful business decision for us. The value and quality of service we have received has far superseded our expectations we are delighted with their continual outstanding customer service. While maintaining a professional working relationship they have managed to make me feel very comfortable coming to them for the smallest to the largest of our business needs. Having had virtually no prior bookkeeping experience, it was with much fear and trepidation we entered this business venture, I have so appreciated all the training and patience they have given me while learning over this past year, they have boosted my confidence and made learning something new an actual pleasure.
Another factor that was hugely important to me was accessibility, they are always available and quick to respond to whatever the issue may be, that is extremely important in small business. I would welcome any phone calls regarding the great experience we have had this past year, it has truly been a wonderful working relationship, one I would highly recommend to anyone in need of professional bookkeeping or on-line accounting solutions.

We used to spend hours on our payroll and payroll reporting to the State and Federal government even though we never had more than 2 employees at any given time, not knowing for sure if it was completely accurate. As a small business owner, that kind of time and uncertainty will make your head spin! Financial Connections alleviated us of our worries and time spent on payroll and tax compliance, all we have to do is e-mail, telephone or fax in the employee hours each week and Financial Connections takes care of everything else.
Financial Connections is diligent about keeping us abreast of any new developments in tax laws, payroll practices or software that could simplify our internal record keeping. It's so nice to be able to call your payroll company whether it's for something minor or not and know that it will be taken care of immediately and done correctly. I highly recommend Financial Connections to anyone who is searching for an efficient and committed payroll company that will meet all of your payroll needs from beginning to end and offer the personalized service any Small Business owner would appreciate.

After being referred to Financial Connections by our new CPA to get our books cleaned up which were in a terrible mess from our prior bookkeepers and year end accounting firm, I realized I needed to do something so I went ahead and gave Financial Connections a call. After meeting Wendy and Renea I not only decided to start utilizing their service for our clean up needs but also decided to terminate our bookkeeper and payroll/accounting firm.
At that time I started utilizing Financial Connections for all our accounting needs.
Making such a decision has proved to be in our favor. Financial Connections stepped in and reconstructed our accounts and records, cleaned up our books and started doing all our bookkeeping and payroll. In addition to the above they continue to provide an excellent service on a monthly basis, not only for our company, but also for my personal investments.
They have gone out of their way to help find ways to save us money by researching and receiving quotes from vendors and programs which we had not only thought of but would not have the time to do. This has made it possible for us to concentrate on what we do best, acquiring jobs and providing the highest quality service in the market. I travel frequently and have left them in charge of all our bookkeeping and also taking care of some items I usually handle, always to return to find that they have applied their services in an efficient and professional manner.
They have a gift to relate professionally and personably with others, which works wonders when they have to make our dreaded AR calls to our clients. The best part of working with Wendy and Renea is that we actually get much more than we pay for because they take such a personal interest in our business. It is as if they were part of our family and they want to help us bring success to our business.
They even check our home mail when we are out of town and weekly go to our PO Box and Bank to deposit any checks that may come in from our clients. I highly recommend Financial Connections to anyone who is in need of great accounting services whom they can trust for their thoroughness and integrity. To me, they are more than my accounting resource, they are my business partner!

Wendy and Renea continually express their expertise, which allows us to focus our attention on the end products of our business. They have always been available on short notice to fulfill a request, which is greatly appreciated during periods of high volume. Wendy has an excellent ability to organize and multi-task, and Renea has extensive knowledge of the State and Federal tax systems.
We get peace of mind from knowing that both our books and our taxes are handled properly and efficiently with Financial Connections, LLC. We highly recommend them as an addition to your financial team.

To Whom it May Concern:
Power Products & Services Inc retained Financial Connections to assist in our firms bookkeeping and accounting activities. Financial Connections combines personal and responsive service along with an impressive Remote Computer access to our firms QuickBooks Account. The QuickBooks account is accessible through any Internet connections, which is extremely helpful and allows me to work on bookkeeping issues when traveling away from the office.
The necessary computer security protocol is in place to ensure there will be no hacking into their system database. In short, Renea and Wendy have been a pleasure to work with. In particular, I am impressed with their responsiveness to questions (almost immediate) and patience in teaching me how to work within the QB system. Best Regards,

As the co-owner of a soon to be opened new restaurant, I was seriously considering doing our own payroll processing. As we prepared to open and I realized the many tasks ahead of me, I began to understand the benefits of having an outside service. In considering which payroll company to utilize, one of the deciding factors for choosing Financial Connections was the benefit of using another local, family owned business.
Financial Connections was able to set me up quickly and was very helpful to a brand new company. They explained the process thoroughly and described in detail their time saving services, and offered their expertise and experience at a competitive price. Financial Connections has been very accessible, often responding to my needs instantly via email or phone, and they are always both friendly and helpful. I would strongly recommend experiencing Financial Connections personalized services to meet your business needs!
