I mean, if you’re a business owner and you don’t use GSuite for email, docs, file organization, etc… what are you even doing?

I’m not completely financially illiterate, so I never thought I’d need to hire an accountant or a bookkeeper. But, a year and a half of business later, bringing in over six figures with multiple streams of income, I was in over my head for filing our taxes and keeping everything in order. Stephanie’s team of accountants are true Godsends (and I’m not even an affiliate, just a happy client!).
