After buying a business 6 years ago and entrusting my accounting to a local CPA, within 2 years my finances were in a shambles and I was about to throw in the towel.

But I found Sterling’s Bookkeeping & Tax Service, who worked with me for six months to restructure my financial operations, re-filing of prior year taxes, and represented me with the IRS. Now they are my off-site accounting department leaving me to focus on growing my business.

The result: Even during these difficult times, my revenues doubled from 2008 – 2009, my clients doubled from 2009 – 2010, and they saved me between $40,000 - $50,000 in penalties to the IRS. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

As a real estate agent and investor I rely strongly on my accounting team at Sterling’s Bookkeeping & Tax Service to keep me updated on tax issues pertaining to my personal investment decisions and those of my clients.

I can count on Kevin Gardner to answer all my tax questions in a timely manner and he has even gone the extra mile and provided my client’s on-the-spot tax counsel related to their real estate investment decisions. With Kevin and the Sterling's team on my side, I can confidently make an informed decision and get a big-picture view of the tax consequences or benefits of a particular business decision. Thanks Kevin for all of your hard work and generous counsel.

Sterling’s Bookkeeping & tax Service has been a positive asset to the success of my business. The company is personable, reliable, and efficient.

After running my business for two years through a home office bookkeeper and losing thousands of dollars, I was referred to Sterling’s Bookkeeping & Tax Service by a colleague. Since reorganizing my operations, I have saved both money and time. I totally relinquished my payroll and accounting to them, and receive minimum if any IRS correspondence. I also have saved thousands of dollars in taxes.

I recommend Sterling’s Bookkeeping & Tax Service because of the peace of mind they provide me as a very busy doctor.

I have used Sterling's Bookkeeping and Tax Services since 1999 for Tax Preparation and filing. In January of 2008 I turned over my Companies accounts payable/receivables, and payroll to them on an everyday basis. I had struggled to keep up with all the bookkeeping and banking aspects of our restaurants and was almost unable to focus on the daily concerns with the day to day operations of running the three locations

Sterling's tax service and their wonderful staff partnered with us to streamline every aspect of our business. From changing the banking services and credit card processing, to looking at our cost of doing business and saving us real dollars in fees, discounts, and negotiating with our vendors. They looked at our business from the inside, and using the experience that they have with many other clients in this area. They showed us countless ways to find the money that was adding to our losses and not increasing our bottom line.

Sterling's has been a blessing and I do not use that term loosely. They partnered with our company at a very unsettling time in our economy. And have not only helped to make us profitable, but have taken us to the next level in a time that many other stores are shutting their doors.

I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Having Sterling's Bookkepping and Tax Services handling our books, has been like giving my brain a financial vacation. It is rare that you can find a group of people who give such individual attention and care even beyond accounting matters.

They even had the foresight to readjust our billing rate to accommodate our slower season. I value Jon's opinions and advice in all matters financial and appreciate his honest and diplomatic approach.

The firm of Sterlings Bookkeeping and Tax Service are one of the most professional organizations I have ever had dealings with. Jon Chester is a professional beyond reproach. I consider him a friend, as well as a trusted advisor when it comes to taxes, business common sense and life in general.

Prior to Sterling's Bookkeeping & Tax Service taking over our bookkeeping, we borrowed money from a restaurant finance company. They were charging us approximately an 84% interest rate. We were unable to pay our bills on time and had very large bank fees.

We went to Sterling’s Bookkeeping & Tax Service who arranged financing to pay off the loan, and with an attorney negotiated a 50% decrease in the loan balance

Jon Chester assisted us in renegotiating a loan on our property in Waxahachie, which will now be paid off in April of 2011.

Through financial advice and the development of a cash management strategy, by 2007 they reduced our bank fees 88%, and in 2009 an additional 48%. As a result we had a 317% increase in net income from the beginning of 2007 to the end of 2008. This allowed Jon to obtain a line of credit from the bank for us.

Words cannot express our relief when we finally gave Sterling’s all of our books to take care of: from paying bills, to payroll, to taxes.

David Loter, who takes care of our books, stays up on everything we need to do in our business, and he can always tell us exactly what we need to know when we ask any questions. From working with vendor pricing to negotiating lower utility costs, David got our finances under control and our restaurants are doing well..

Sterling’s expertise and caring has made running our business easier.

I just wanted to let you know that I am really impressed with your company!

Since day one I have always received the best treatment and service from everyone in your office. From the front office guy to Kevin that has handled my complex CA case, and all the other guys that I have been working with. It is always an absolute joy coming to your office and paying taxes!

I just thought that you should know that from one of your clients, because people take time to write the complaints but never take a moment to praise a great job. I am constantly recommending your company in my circle of friends.

Thank you very much for a great experience year after year
