Testimonials
“We are a very busy law firm and require competent and efficient bookkeeping on an ongoing basis. Ms. Kilham accomplishes those requirements and then some. She is very detail oriented and has explained to me (in English) what our firm’s financials mean which, in turn, has helped me to be a better manager of our firm.”
M. Jordan, Attorney
“Tanyaa has been willing to consult with me on my new law firm’s books over the past few months. She has showin what software/accounting practices will work best based on different situations.”
J. Edwards, Attorney
“Our law firm is a labor and employment start up in Seattle. We have nothing but high praise and appreciation for Tanyaa’s specialized accounting and bookkeeping services. She has been our bookkeeper since we opened in June of 2020. We interviewed several well-qualified and experienced prospects and Tanyaa was by far and away the most personable candidate. Tanyaa is incredibly knowledgable and always quick to respond to questions and concerns. We are SOOOO happy with her. I hear horror stories from my colleagues about their bookkeepers and it makes me realize how lucky we are to have found her.”
