I have had the pleasure of working with Lisa Frushour for over 15 years. Lisa offers what I consider to be top quality accounting work. The best part of Lisa is her care for her clients. She gets it right the first time. She asks questions, delves into the details of the issues, so that the records are accurate and timely. Lisa’s knowledge of financial statement presentation and accounting services, in general, is outstanding. But the best part about working with Lisa is not how well she does her work, which is phenomenal, but the care she brings to the people involved. I have seen Lisa work through the night doing an inventory count after hours, start from scratch on projects where all the financial information was lost, and all this with a smile on her face because she knows she is helping her clients. Any client would be lucky to have Lisa on their team.
I had the pleasure of working with Lisa for over 5 years, as she oversaw the business accounts of my employer. Lisa is a skilled accountant, and pays close attention to details. She would notice even the slightest variances and help us keep the most accurate records. She brings a positive energy, is pleasant, easy to talk to and very professional. Lisa was always able to answer my questions or concerns (and I always had a lot). She even took the time and had the patience to teach me the basics of Quickbooks, which allowed me to quick reference items and run reports on my own. If you are looking for a top-notch accountant with a great personality, I highly recommend Lisa!
I have been working closely with Lisa Frushour for 16 ½ years. Lisa’s service has been excellent! She has been the perfect find for all our accounting needs, business advice and support. Lisa places customer satisfaction at the top of her agenda (list) and is supported with all of the knowledge you could ever need to know. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for an honest, reliable and genuine accountant.
I have been working with Lisa for 16 ½ years for my dental practice accounting needs, as well as my personal taxes. She is extremely conscientious and thorough, but also one of the most pleasant people I know. Lisa goes above and beyond getting the job done well and timely. I would recommend Lisa for any accounting needs.
