Ted did an amazing job fixing my mess of a QuickBooks Online transition. Thank you!Posted on Mark Gorman2023-09-08 Absolutely the Best Quickbooks Pro Advisor One Can Find. I had what seemed like insurmountable problems and Intuit Quickbooks had no clue how to deal with these (much of which were initially created by Intuit). Within a few short hours, Ted Identified All Problems and Quickly Resolved in a few hours what i was concerned was going to take days, if not weeks to fix and then rebuild and recreate. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You Will NOT Find Any Better!Posted on Glenn Siesser2022-04-25 We called Ted with a problem that was beyond our level of knowledge. He preformed his magic and reconfigured and updated our system just the way we wanted. He'll be on speed dial for sure. Thanks Ted.Posted on David Brown2021-04-28 Ted's knowledge of QB is exceptional! I had two other so called QB professionals try and get my books cleaned up they spent about 8 hours and it still was not correct. Ted had it all cleaned up in 3 hours and working perfectly!Posted on Brett2021-04-19 After hours of being on the phone with QBO tech support and managers, I called Ted. He walked in the door, one click and problem solved. I hate QBO service, call Ted and avoid hours of frustration when you can actually be out making moneyPosted on Lou Besa2021-04-19 Ted provides exceptionally responsive and knowledgable service. I recomend him to all who are looking for Quickbooks services.Posted on Mirko Ivanovic2021-03-19 This guy is a QuickBooks genius. My books were a mess. Thanks to Ted I’m so relieved.Posted on Michael Murray2021-03-19 There are some accountants that you really don't look forward to talking to or working with--they just make an uncomfortable business experience even worse--of course I am referring to your accounting. Ted, "The Quickbooks Guy", is the opposite of this. Ted actually makes the accounting operations interesting, and you no longer dread dealing with your accounting!Posted on Dan Volker2021-03-04 We have worked with Ted Deret for several years and his support in preparing monthly and annual financial reports has been a major benefit to us. We love having Ted review our monthly entries and coding into Quickbooks. The quality of reporting is so much better and is done shortly after month end. He gets all the data he needs and prepares our financials and we focus on our business. He is great to work with, very patient and professional.Posted on norris beren2021-02-25
