A Few Words About PL Consulting
We know — it’s a trust issue. When you admit you need a bookkeeper, you have to be forthcoming. You have to hand over bank and credit card statements and share financial information, not to mention security data and access to your accounts. Revealing your financials feels like a vulnerability, exposing a lot about you and the way you run your business.
You don’t want to feel judged by your books. And we don’t judge. PL Consulting thrives on helping you succeed. And we guard your data fiercely.
In fact, we’re so sure that our services will end up saving you more than our cost, that we’ll guarantee it. And when we get started, you will quickly discover how much less stress and fear and worry you will experience.
Let our experienced team ease the pressures from your monthly budgets. We can manage the ins and outs of budgeting and forecasting, propose cost reductions, and collect receivables. We can process government program applications and schedule aging payables.
We will even risk our jobs by educating your staff on how to write and read monthly balance sheets and profit and loss statements, set up payroll, or learn how to navigate your accounting software.
Every business owner has felt financial pressure at some point. Once you start working with PL Consulting’s transparent and tailored business models, you will feel relief and be in a position to go further in your business than you imagined you could.
