Are you ready to find someone you can trust to take your QuickBooks bookkeeping worries off of your shoulders and just get it all done for you?

Would you like to learn how to save money and do your own books, quickly and easily?

In either case, you’re in expert hands with “the guy who wrote the book on QuickBooks:” Mike Russell Bookkeeping and Tax Services and his team of credentialed QuickBooks Professional Advisors.

We know bookkeeping can be a pain, so much so that it’s easy to procrastinate getting your QuickBooks books caught up. But when tax time comes and your CPA is saying they can’t get your return done until your QuickBooks file is cleaned up, we’re great at taking that headache off your hands.

“Mike and his team have done our corporate tax returns through the years, and they helped us set up job costing in QuickBooks . We are very pleased with the service and Mike’s professional consulting. I am pleased to be able to recommend him to other business persons interested in top quality tax return preparation and bookkeeping services.” –John Sutter, General Manager

“After years of struggling with QuickBooks I asked Mike Russell to step in and set me up properly. Mike met with me beforehand to assess my needs. He then set up a custom system with categories unique to my business. At last, my income and expenditures finally makes sense to me. This helps my bottom line. I highly recommend Mike for anyone experiencing accounting system challenges. He truly is a wise owl and delightful to work with.” –Buffie Harris, designorbit.com

“Mike Russell has been such a delight to work with. He makes the entire taxpaying process so easy for me as a small business owner. He helped me find write-offs that I had overlooked and walked me through the entire process step by step. I never have and never will use anyone else!” –Genevieve Yang – Jeweler

Mike and his team have helped make the QuickBooks bookkeeping process painless for all types of small businesses. They do this in two major ways:

First, his firm offers customized QB accounting systems set up for your specific industry, monthly bookkeeping, CFO services, QuickBooks cleanup, and tax preparation to small businesses in the Austin area and remotely to businesses all over the U.S.

And second, he offers QuickBooks classes and books for business owners who want to do it themselves.

“I have been bringing my whole year of bookkeeping in a box to Mike at the end of the year for the past 20 years. Now, with “QuickBooks Made Fast and Simple” I can easily do the work myself and save the couple of thousand I have always had to pay. You made this so easy and enjoyable that even an old tile contractor like myself had no problem working the practice sets!” –Steve Roll, Steve Roll Tile

“Hi Mike, I just finished your QuickBooks manual. Took me 4 hours 10 minutes. It was a great refresher, (I had taken a QB’s 6 week course previously but that was over 10 years ago) and I did learn quite a bit of ‘new stuff’ as well. Thanks for suggesting it. Great explanations, simple to follow, a valuable tool to keep nearby as I do my year-ends for my small business!” – Linda Rieschel

“As a small general contractor, I have always waited until the end of the year to bring my bookkeeping in so Mike can process it and do my year-end taxes. This new book “QuickBooks Made Fast and Simple” is a real gem. Now I can do my own bookkeeping and save several thousand dollars in accounting fees that I would have normally paid. This book will help a lot of people in business during these tough economic times.” –Gerritt Drexhage, Drexhage Structures
