Mikunda Cottrell, & Co., CPAs, Anchorage, Alaska

   "As the Assistant Firm Administrator for Mikunda Cottrell, & Co, CPAs, Michelle, jumped at the chance to help teach the growing number of QuickBooks classes our firm was beginning to offer. Her solid accounting background and strong communication skills made her an exceptional instructor. Michelle did a great job communicating with our clients on all levels from business owners to bookkeepers. Addressing groups from several different companies, she was able to quickly adapt and provide practical solutions for a myriad of individual situations."  

  - Steve Dike, President, Mikunda Cottrell Information Technology

C2 North, LLC, Anchorage, Alaska

   "I highly recommend Michelle Puryear as a cost effective solution for small businesses.  As a small company I had limited time and funds available for outside accounting services.  Michelle’s assistance was invaluable as I switched to QuickBooks in the middle of two IRS audits and a change in corporate structure.  She not only helped me properly setup and correct my initial entries in QuickBooks but also suggested ways to more efficiently invoice my clients using QuickBooks.

   - Melanie Roller, Owner

The Denali Foundation, Denali National Park, Alaska

   “Michelle’s patience and dedication to understand our nonprofit organization was amazing.  She has a very thorough nature which made her a great detective to see what  had gone on in the past with our accounting. Michelle also had a great ability to project what our future needs would be proving extremely helpful in our budgetary predictions.  I give Michelle my highest recommendation and would be happy to discuss her qualifications at any time.”

   - Willie Karidis, Executive Director

The Talkeetna Roadhouse, Talkeetna, Alaska

     "I couldn't have found a more qualified and effective QuickBooks Instructor than Michelle.  Her easy manner and upbeat personality made the daunting chore of transitioning to a new system a much simpler task than I had imagined it would be.  Michelle even made a bookkeeper out of me!"

   - Trisha Costello, Owner

Bend Mountain Coffee, Bend, Oregon

"I started a new business with zero knowledge of accounting or accounting software.  Michelle has educated me and has been patient with my lack of knowledge.  She explains accounting in layman's terms so that you can understand the foreign language of accounting.  QuickBooks is quite simple once you understand how it works.  Michelle finds your mistakes, if you make any, fixes them and then explains how to do it correctly the next time.  She has been invaluable to my new business.  I could not have done it without her."

   - Julie O'Neil, Owner

Yakima Tent & Awning Company, Yakima, Washington

   - Pam Hubbard, Owner

Rolling Mirror Massage, Whitefish, Montana

   "I had QuickBooks Pro still in the box for four months and just did not know where to start.  Michelle gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed to get going.  Now, I an religious about my inputting and feel more in control of my finances than I have ever been."

   - Jamie Anderson, Owner

Bonair Winery, Zillah, Washington

   "I have used Quickbooks for several years, not understanding many of the functions it was capable of.  Each year my accountant would “fix my mistakes” for me.  I was frustrated and asked Michelle to help me understand my errors and get me on the right track.  Her knowledge of all aspects of Quickbooks and her ability to patiently explain the solutions and have me do the actual inputting has proved invaluable. Thank you, Michelle, for giving me pride in my work."

   - Shirley Puryear, Bookkeeper and Owner

Denali Outdor Center, Denali Park, Alaska

   "Michelle Puryear was our part-time controller from March 2005 to March 2007 she assisted the shelter with cleaning up and upgrading the QuickBooks accounting system, reconciling and analyzing account balances, preparing monthly financial statements, filing all quarterly tax returns and regular correspondence with our CPA.

Michelle was always helpful and accommodating.  She assisted us in growing from a 1.2 million dollar budget to a 1.4 million dollar budget.  Michelle did a great job and was very easy and pleasing to work with, always willing to come to board meetings and explain the financials to the board members and answer questions.

I would recommend Michelle without hesitation to work as a contributing member of an organization."

   "Michelle has an aptitude for explaining complex issues and the patience for explaining simple ones,  she is diligent, thorough, accommodating, and very personable.  Her help has been very valuable to our success."

   - Susy Hobson, Accounts Receivable

Tierra Learning Center, Leavenworth, Washington

   "We hired Michelle at Tierra Learning Center to complete an organizational assessment and assist us in establishing our business system. Our books were farmed out to a distant accountant and having Michelle come in and bring our finances in house was incredibly valuable. She overhauled our systems so that we could see where our resources were being well used, as well as, where we could cut other expenses which had never been tracked adequately. She was able to explain to our staff how their actions affected the bottom line and it was very useful in having people be able to feel some ownership of our organization by understanding their impact upon our budget. It was a complex and demanding job which Michelle handled with compassion and patience."

   - Gracie Close, Owner
