Introduction to my Qualifications and Services
Symba Services was created to provide hands-on assistance in Quickbooks, business management, money management and pre-tax return readiness to small and medium sized businesses.
As a CPA with extensive experience in public accounting as well as many years in small business as an operations manager, executive director and bookkeeper, I have the perspective of both the accountant and the business owner. I initially started Symba Services in the summer as an off season project, but I now provide year-round assistance to clients as well as continued employment at Bollinger, Glenn, Guattery, Gunn & McAravy, LLP. as a staff accountant.
