QuickBooks and Peachtree Setup - Training - Support
Testimonials
As the owner of a Hawaiian Apparel company that
has experienced amazing growth I was left with the seemingly insurmountable task
of keeping books for my business. I did not want to pay monthly accounting
services so I purchased Quick Books and decided to learn how to use it.
After several months of failure and the books being in total chaos I finally
admitted that I needed someone to help me get the books up to date
and wanted to learn how to do this on my own.
Shortridge Business Services came through for us. Tim has a vast knowledge of bookkeeping and
within a few short visits had our books in order and began teaching me how to do
what was needed to keep our books in order.
Tim is professional, courteous and patient while teaching me how to navigate
Quick Books. I am happy to say I am now keeping up with the bookkeeping with
ease.

When I started my own mobile notary and concierge
services business I knew I needed assistance with bookkeeping and accounting. I
attended a SCORE class on QuickBooks that Tim Shortridge of Shortridge Business
Services has been voluntarily teaching for a number of years. Tim is a great
teacher, very personable, and is always willing to help.
He has since set up my QuickBooks for me and helped me whenever I’ve had a
question or needed him to clean up my mistakes. Since he can check my accounts
via remote access, it has made it even easier to keep my books in line and
allowed me to learn more about QuickBooks.
I highly recommend Tim to help anyone with accounting and QuickBooks. Thanks
Tim!

I began using Shortridge Business Services more
than 12 years ago. As my business began to grow, Tim Shortridge was able to
create workable systems, as he tailored the Quickbooks program to meet my
specific needs.
I highly recommend him to all new businesses. He
does a superlative job of customizing and meeting the unique bookkeeping needs
of each business, and then training how to use the new systems to their fullest
advantage.
The best part about Tim is that his winning
personality makes the challenge of bookkeeping pleasant! He is genuine in his
enjoyment of my business success and has always been accessible to help as I've
needed him.

Shortridge Business Services has been my
QuickBooks consultant since 2005 when I became the owner of The Family &
Learning Center in La Jolla. Tim Shortridge efficiently and painlessly guided us
through the set up of our accounting system, and has been our go-to person with
questions ever since.
Tim is knowledgeable regarding the workings of a
small business and offers much needed support in the area of bookkeeping and
general function of a business. His hands-on approach to keeping proper
financial records is reassuring for all types and levels of small business
operations. Tim has helped me create a straightforward and easy to manage
bookkeeping system, allowing me to focus my time and energy on our clients,
rather than on our bookkeeping.

I started using Shortridge Business Services
many years ago after I started my own business and attended a QuickBooks
workshop at SCORE. Tim Shortridge was extremely knowledgeable about accounting
and the Quickbooks software. I knew immediately that he would be a great asset
to my business, so I began to use his services immediately.
Tim has routinely made sure my books are
accurate, and has shown me how to use Quickbooks more effectively. He has always
been very giving with his time, answering my many questions, and has
consistently provided me with confidence that the accounting side of my business
is as it should be. I trust Tim completely, and he has truly been a lifesaver
for a small business owner like myself.

Shortridge Business Services has been a godsend
for my small business during the past 11 years. When we meet several times a
year, Tim Shortridge always arrives smiling and ready to take on almost
anything. Because I'm a ‘hands-on’ kind of person, Tim patiently works with me
to review, correct, and clean up everything I've saved for him, including
certain government forms and issues.
I appreciate the suggestions he’s made to save me
time, headaches, and money. He always seems to know how much to tell or show me,
and he intuitively recognizes the things I just want done for me. I have
breathed many sighs of relief when he’s just taken over, found the cause and
then ‘fixed’ the list of mysteries that I’ve handed to him. Thank
you!

I met Tim Shortridge in mid-2007 at his
QuickBooks workshop sponsored by SCORE. My partner and I had just purchased a
publishing business and I was going to be in charge of managing the books. I had
very limited experience with QuickBooks, and new next to nothing about how to
set up our company books and manage the accounts on a daily/monthly basis.
Tim was terrific. He came in and set up our accounts correctly right from the
beginning (which saved us a lot of headaches and expenses down the road), and
ever since has trained me how to keep them accurate. He's been invaluable in
terms of his expertise and knowledge of QuickBooks as well as his overall
business acumen. As our business has expanded, he's always there to help make
sure our QuickBooks accounts stay in sync. I can't say enough about his can-do
attitude and genuine interest in our business success.
We now use Shortridge Business Services on an as-needed basis. Tim's been an
invaluable resource to us, and will continue to be so.

QuickBooks can be intimidating software for many.
It was to my fortune I had a professional accountant like Tim Shortridge to help
me avoid many serious mistakes and headaches. He made Quick Books easy to
understand and was always available to answer my questions. Without his
experience and patience I don’t know where I would be!

I am a chiropractor and an acupuncturist who
runs my own business. From day 1 of my business, I have been gratefully relying
on Shortridge Business Services to keep the business going.
First, unlike any regular accountants, CPAs, or
bookkeepers, who keep to their individual boundaries, Tim helped me set up our
entire accounting system, and taught me how to use accounting as one of the most
important tools to monitor and manage my business.
Not only does Tim train accurate bookkeeping
functions for the office, more importantly, he taught me, the owner, how to
compile, understand, and interpret financial data in a way that gives the most
precise reading of the financial pulses of the business at any given time. These
skills allow me to swiftly and timely adapt to any given financial situations to
ensure smooth sailing of the business.
I highly recommend Tim Shortridge to anyone who
is interested in starting or steering their businesses to success. Success does
not come with poor financial management, and I would not risk it with anyone who
does not have Tim’s experience, skill, vision, passion, and drive to help you to
success.
I still remember what Tim told me the first day
he came to our office: “we are going to get everything done right, and success
(of your business) is the only option, agree?” The excitement in his voice still
warms my heart, knowing that no matter how things are, someone is here genuinely
caring for me, and my business, with his heart and brain.
