Testimonials

  • Karen and her accounting business, Abaci Accounting LLC, have my highest recommendation; she has provided excellent accounting support for several of the businesses I’ve worked with over the past 6 years. Her accounting support for small businesses and technology startups is clearly the best I’ve found in my 20+ years of experience of doing tech startup companies.  In particular, she provides excellent support for the complex and challenging accounting requirements associated with Federal SBIR/STTR grants and contracts, including awards from USAF, US Army, NSF, NIH, DOE, NASA, and other Federal agencies. Her methodology for budget tracking for each individual project, and in assuring compliance with each agency’s unique accounting requirements are a tremendous help in managing these awards.  Financial reporting and statements are always prompt, accurate, and thorough, and communications are excellent.

  • I highly recommend Ms. Karen Quiroz, who has been an invaluable asset to our team for over five years. Her extensive experience with government grants and contracts has enabled us to navigate complex financial reporting requirements, ensuring compliance and timely submissions of various forms. Karen consistently prepares accurate financial statements and always follows financial report schedules. She has strong organizational skills and attention to detail.  She always alerts us to various differences across government programs, summarizes financial requirements, and communicates them to the principal investigator and administrative staff. We are grateful for her expertise and dedication, and her ability to make the accounting processes straightforward.

  • A breath of fresh air

    I have a small on-line business. I started about 6 months ago. My sales/inventory were increasing and I needed help with organization and understanding QuickBooks. I originally started with an accountant. What a nightmare! After 3 months and an incomplete job, I went online to find other options. That is where I found Karen. Our initial conversation left me feeling confident that I found someone who could help me. She asked great questions about my industry as well as my individual business. Within the next couple of weeks, we worked together to organize my receipts, inventory, prior taxes, expenses etc. She communicated with me regularly and promptly answered any questions. She took a situation that had been very stressful and made it into a working relationship where I felt confident, reassured and making progress. I highly recommend Karen!

  • Proactive Results

    I couldn't find any QuickBooks Pro advisors in my area to call me back or contact me. Karen was quick to respond in a timely manner. She has helped me tremendously with my bookkeeping and found areas that I needed to correct. I could not have found a more knowledgeable advisor. She is very efficient and understands QuickBooks thoroughly to get your business back on track.

  • Exactly what we needed!!

    Karen was AMAZING!!! Not only did she come up with the perfect package to fit our needs, she made sure we knew what to expect throughout the process. Karen went beyond our expectations and delivered what she promised! We were about to discontinue our use of QuickBooks because we just weren't sure how to do certain things. We reached out to Karen as a last attempt to make it work (as we did not want to redo over a year's worth of books). Thank goodness for Karen! We were so impressed with her level of knowledge and can now feel completely secure in our books!!
