About our firm Background In 2001, I decided to take the plunge and open my own Bookkeeping, Tax and Notary firm. I started working out of my house on a part-time basis, and went full-time in January, 2003. I moved into my current location in November, 2003. I am no longer working on my own, but have been very fortunate in putting together an outstanding accounting team to assist me in providing superior client services. Our future looks great. We have recently applied to become an LLC and we are actively looking to increase our client base. Our Team Debra L.
