Urgent catch up and monthly bookkeeping services Burhan is timely, communicative and direct. Will definitely hire him again.

Wave Accounting/Apps Reconciliation for 2024 Burhan is so professional and detail-oriented! He was able to catch mistakes by other bookkeepers, even from WAVE who did some work on one of our months, and correct them. He also went above and beyond to recheck all of our months to make sure everything was correct. He was very proactive in touching base with me each day explaining what work was completed and what needed my attention. And I appreciate him requesting zoom meetings to show the work that was done and explain in detail how and why he did different things to balance my books. So appreciative of his hard work!
