Client Reviews
Nick has been a great asset to our company. He keeps an extra set of eyes and ears on the tedious administrative tasks so I can focus more time on growing the business. One of the hardest parts of any small business is recognizing tasks that can and should be outsourced to make the business more efficient, and Nick is a key part of that for us.
Outsourcing our bookkeeping to Nick Dunham Bookkeeping was one of the smartest things we’ve done. He’s freed us up to focus more on our own business and not tracking expenses and hoping we don’t make a trust accounting error. He’s quick, detail-oriented and great to work with. We’re lucky to have found him.
I spent months managing the books while trying to work on our business. We quickly realized that outsourcing our bookkeeping would allow me to spend more time making the business money. I didn’t know how it would go at first, but wow did Nick make a difference. He may not be in our physical office, but he is very much part of our team and instrumental in our ongoing success. I recommended Nick to another business owner recently, who commented to me yesterday that Nick has been a life saver for him. Can’t say enough great things about Nick and what he does for us. Highly recommend.
Before I hired Nick Dunham Bookkeeping, my books were disorganized, and projecting income/ budget were challenging. My business coach suggested a bookkeeper and recommended Nick. Nick changed the financial organization of my company. I was able to efficiently track costs and spending and make structural changes to my company to help income. Nick is professional, organized, timely and knowledgeable. I get monthly reports and comparisons in quarters and years which makes running my business and making decisions much easier.
Our business had been opened for a few months and we were needing assistance keeping our books up to date on a regular basis and really wanted to make sure our books were setup correctly from the start. Unfortunately, the bookkeeper we had engaged out of Houston did not follow through with this work. We saw a mutual friend share Nick Dunham Bookkeeping’s Facebook page, looked into his background, and reached out. We were happy to see that Nick had experience in not only bookkeeping, but a diverse background that further strengthens his skills as bookkeeper and assisting a growing small business. Our situation could be complicated, but Nick was able to finish setting our books up, brought our financials up to date, and simplified it so that we have a consistent, clear picture of our financial situation. He also was able to assist our accountants when time came to file taxes and is able to explain any questions we may have so its easily understandable for anyone without a business background. Also, and very important, Nick is very reachable and is communicative. By choosing to use Nick Dunham Bookkeeping, LLC, we have freed up our administration’s time so that we can focus on the continued growth of our business while knowing our books are up-to-date, accurate, and in safe hands.
Nick Dunham Booking, LLC has been a guardian angel for me and my law firm. He came highly recommended to me by a colleague and I am so happy that I listened. If your business is being bogged down by bookkeeping and accounting struggles, you have to talk to Nick. He will make your life easier! I’ve never been the best with accounting, and I have the C- in Accounting 1001 on my college transcript to prove it. Before working with Nick, receiving a client settlement check was a bitter-sweet ordeal. Great, in that the client would be receiving his/her compensation, but bad, in that it meant me having to undertake the time consuming process of drafting and issuing numerous checks. Once I started working with Nick, it became a breeze! For any personal injury law firm, the trust account is the most sacred thing. Messing up the accounting can land an attorney in hot water, even if it is off by just a couple of dollars. I have heard horror stories of attorneys getting in trouble with the Bar, which lasted for years and cost thousands of dollars. Fortunately, I never had any issues with discrepancies in my trust account, but I lost a lot of sleep thinking about whether or not I had screwed something up. When Nick came on board, he ran through two years of bank statements with a fine-tooth comb to make sure that all of the transactions from my trust and operating accounts matched. If there was an issue, he pointed it out and rectified it. Now that I know Nick Dunham Bookkeeping is handling my bookkeeping, I have far fewer headaches related to the operations side of my business. If you are in need of a bookkeeper, I strongly recommend you work with Nick Dunham Bookkeeping. He is very patient, smart, and is quick to respond to any requests or problems I present to him. You will not regret working with him!
Nick Dunham Bookkeeping LLC has done an outstanding job in jumping in and being able to quickly organize and navigate our complex bookkeeping after we lost our previous in-house administrative assistant. The transition was seamless and successful. I highly recommend Nick Dunham Bookkeeping LLC!
After feeling like I was losing a handle on my expenses and income, I made the decision to hire a bookkeeper. After interviewing several, I decided to go with Nick Dunham Bookkeeping. I am so glad that I did!
Nick has been extremely responsive and always makes himself available to answer any questions. He really has taken the stress and tediousness of bookkeeping off my hands, and saved me several hours per week.
When it comes to bookkeeping, Nick’s service pays for itself tenfold. I have regained at least 10 hours per week in hiring Nick Dunham Bookkeeping. Not only that, but the peace of mind you can knowing that your trust account is in order and that expenses are being tracked is priceless.
Do yourself a favor and hire Nick immediately. He will allow you to focus on running your business without the distractions that come with handling the bookkeeping.
Nick Dunham Bookkeeping’s extensive experience and background made an easy choice to work with NDB rather than another bookkeeper or doing our own bookkeeping.
Nick has saved us countless hours of bookkeeping functions. He is incredibly responsive, his attention to detail is second to none, his reports are fantastic and he is always available when we need him.
I started working with Nick based on the recommendation of one of my friends, and it has been one of the best business decisions that I have made given his background and expertise. Nick is fully trained on the rules and regulations governing trust accounting. He ensures that my firm remains in full compliance with various rules and regulations that we have to follow. He runs monthly reports for me showing our profits and losses. Best of all he is exceptionally fast and responsive. It is just like having a full-time member of our team. From check requests, balancing, etc., my whole team enjoys working with Nick
First of all, you can stop your search for a bookkeeper, hire Nick Dunham! When I came to Nick, we hadn’t been using QuickBooks for 6 months which meant there was a lot of catch up work he had to do, which he did effortlessly and perfectly. Nick has such a pleasant, friendly demeanor and always responds quickly. Our personalities really mesh well, which is why it was so easy to choose him as our bookkeeper. Nick is always prompt in recognizing mistakes that need to be rectified, which takes the burden off of us to catch these ourselves. I fully trust him and know we are in good hands. I love that we get a monthly update at the end of each month with our YTD balance sheet, profit & loss statements, and reconciliation report. He’s extremely thorough and trustworthy. I can’t imagine a better person to handle our bookkeeping. Hire Nick!
