About Biz by Georgie
I have started my business to meet the demand for accounting assistance. Research shows that small businesses are the backbone of our economy and there is a steady growth. During a down economy small start up businesses flourish. The Small business owner's do not want the hassle nor have the expertise to be their own CFO. At the same time one reason they fail is lack of controlling their Finances including cash flow and receivables. In order survive and not be a statistic they will need an Accountant they can trust and rely on to teach them and help them learn how to control their cash flow and receivables for that reason my 30+ years of experience with the accounting world is needed. As the owner of a start up business of my own I have the passion, dedication and enthusiasm to succeed. And that trait will allow me more flexible, resourceful and stimulated in helping my clients also to succeed.
