This portfolio of success stories will give you a good sense of the kind of challenges we work through, how we approach them and the kind of results we provide.

We started our business in April 2006. It was going to be a long day for me knowing I would have to pick out all of the computers and software that best fit our business. I was not sure myself, so we went to Best Buy^® because they have a business service to help people like us with questions we may have. After choosing our equipment I asked about QuickBooks^® because of my past experience with it.

Rhonda Rosand was the name they gave us to call to help get set up with QuickBooks^®, well let me tell you! We were very lucky to have someone as knowledgeable as Rhonda from the beginning! She helped us set up all of the categories for expenses and revenues, helped with reconciliations; not only did we set up QuickBooks^® but because of Rhonda's business experience she has been a tremendous help in a lot of the parts of our business from QuickBooks^® to taxes and even the collections portion to really whatever I was not sure of. Because she has been there for us from the beginning she made the prep work of our taxes even easier to swallow.

We highly recommend her in any business situation, having Rhonda there for you in the beginning will save you many long nights! Thanks Rhonda.

When we took over Art-Lee Floorcovering in March 2006 we had over 27 years of flooring experience behind us, but we were starting from scratch at working with a new accounts and tax system. We could see that we needed a major overhaul but we didn't know where to start.

The first step was to remove the post-it notes off the computer and start to concentrate on the information held inside, THEN we called Rhonda. Customized Business Solutions is a perfect name as Rhonda lives up to these expectations. She uses her knowledge both in business and accounting to customize a simple, efficient system that fits your exact needs ... A solution to your bookkeeping problems.

She took time to listen and find out what we really needed then provided step by step training for all staff levels with plenty of support, advice and encouragement along the way. She helped us get QuickBooks set up and running and with Jill's help has maintained that "always there if needed" feeling. We quickly developed a feeling of confidence and almost immediately had a better understanding of how our business was performing allowing us to make decisions based on solid financial information.

Our bookkeeping went from being a hindrance to a tool for future success.
Give Rhonda a call today, she's definitely worth it.

My husband runs a small construction company. It was a fight but I finally got him to realize the need to have our accounting on an automated system. The next step was to find somebody who could help us. The first attempt was a nightmare, the second attempt cost us a lot of money as we had to enlist the help of our CPA to at least set us up with the correct chart of accounts.

Finally, I had Rhonda come over to help. Rhonda was awesome and especially with a construction background, she got us up and running very quickly. She was extremely helpful when we started Phase 2 of the project in setting up the budget information and helping my husband track expenses against the budget. Whenever my husband can not figure anything out, I just tell him to call Rhonda.

My CPA loves her too. I schedule Rhonda right before year end to review all the transactions, make any needed corrections and then send the file to the accountant. What was a fight before, is now a non-event.

I have also been a source of referrals for Rhonda as I feel it is very hard to find somebody with the experience she has not only in working with accounting systems but in extracting the information needed to run a successful business.

Bottom line, Rhonda will save you time and as we all know, time is money.
