“Extremely competent (and friendly) hands”
I stumbled onto Essential Business Services back in 2008. I was just starting my business and needed trustworthy and experienced help to setup my QuickBooks and to train me on bookkeeping. I found everything I needed as EBS continues to support my growing company with personable attention to detail and implementation of technology that simplifies our exchanges. I never worry and sleep well knowing that my accounting is in extremely competent (and friendly) hands.

“Nothing more important than being kept informed”
Essential Business Services (EBS) was recommended to me and I have never regretted contacting them for tax preparation services. Along with being professional, knowledgeable, and customer service oriented, they are exceptional in maintaining communication with me as a customer. I can think of nothing more important than being kept informed as progress is being made on my taxes. If asked, I would highly recommend EBS.
