Testimonials
“Paula Pacheco singlehandedly unravelled our messy business financials in record time and made the process (always a dreaded job) easy and painless. Her lighthearted approach soon had everyone smiling and made tax time a comparative breeze. In addition, Paula is one of the most integrity-driven professionals I know. Giving any one person the passwords, logins and other “keys to the financial kingdom” previously kept us from hiring a fulltime bookkeeper – that was a lot of trust to put in one place. In the year that Paula has been on staff with my company, she has proven herself to be trustworthy above and beyond the norm. I feel completely safe with Paula, and know that any form of sensitive business or personal information I give her is in good and capable hands.
Paula’s superb job of documenting and reporting consistently went above and beyond her job description, often identifying and eliminating actionable items before management noticed they needed to be done. In one instance of many, Paula saved us money by highlighting services being paid for twice to different companies, and spent hours on the phone with various services straightening these issues out. She has also been instrumental in helping engineer our business process and planning overhaul. What a gem! I truly don’t know what we’d do without her.
You need to hire Paula right now – she’s a financial professional, with a remarkably wide array of skills that you need in your corner. You’ll love her “virtual office” in particular. Wherever I am in my travels, Paula puts us both right in the same online “room” – a secure place where we can look at my company’s financials together and she can show myself or my staff exactly what to do in our financial software. What a fantastic bonus! Paula has my full and unreserved recommendation for any work she puts her creative mind and laser-like focus to. I commend her highly.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to speak about Paula Pacheco whom I have come to know through Fairbrae Swim and Raquet Club in Sunnyvale. My family has been members, of this club, since 1987. Paula was responsible for bringing fiscal soundness to the financial records of our club. Her acute sense of accounting skills, and knowledge of software programs, aided our Board of Director’s to be aware of all necessary finances. Not only did she perform her duties, as a finance specialist, she also served as a marketing advocate in selling memberships.. Thus income was generated, for the club, by her efforts! This had never been accomplished by past bookkeepers or accountants. Fairbrae Swim Club is most pleased to have her on our team!”

“Some people have a way with numbers and Paula has it! She came into my business and quickly got my books caught up, organized, and headed in the right direction. And she is a radiant pleasure to be around. I so looked forward to her visits. She took the humdrum out of my accounting and I highly recommend her.”

“Paula Pacheco is and has been our bookkeeper for several years. During the past two years that I’ve worked with Paula I’ve found that she’s very reliable, honest, competent, and dependable. Her attitude is very positive and upbeat. Whenever I’ve had questions about any aspect of our finances Paula found the answers and the reasons behind them. We’ve communicated very thoroughly thru the years via e-mail, telephone and in person.She’s very pleasant to work with. I have no question about her abilities, character or ethics. I highly recommend Paula for any effort you’ll need with her.”

“Paula has been instrumental in the compilation and implementationof the systems we now use in our design-build remodeling business. She immersed herself in each department of our company, determined the functions of each department, and created standard operating procedures for everyone to follow. The systems we had created on our own weren’t working. Her experience, knowledge, and professionalism were just what we needed to help raise our business to the next level.”

“Paula was able to take “Big Picture” approach to all problems, ensuring that new systems and solutions integrate seamlessly with the processes in place to improve the overall ability to produce our product. What really amazed me was her desire to deeply understand the specific nuances of my industry so she could provide the best solutions to my problems.”

“Paula’s expert skill in organization allowed her to easily create for us a more efficient filing system to improve the existing one. Additionally, our Workers’ Comp payments were always incorrect because we really didn’t understand the difficult formula. This caused us to have to pay quite a large adjustment at the end of a cycle. Paula contacted a Workers’ Comp agent to meet with her and show her how to apply the correct formula. She then created an excel spreadsheet and put the formula on an easy to understand form. he result is all of our payments are accurate and we spend very little time figuring out what is owed Workers Comp. We could not be happier.”

“It is because Paula is such an excellent business strategist that I hired her to write a business plan for my own start-up company. Her 40-page business plan helped me acquire initial bank funding and subsequent expansion dollars. After three years the business was so successful, I sold it for a profit and moved on. While I feel that her professional strengths and attributes are numerous, her forte is analyzing, strategizing, and problem solving. She brings many finely honed business skills and talents to the table and has done well her entire career. I highly recommend Paula Pacheco.

“Paula’s responsibilities included oversight of over 250 million in trade settlements and securities processing daily. Despite coming from another industry, Ms. Pacheco was able to immediately step in and stabilize a distressed dept. in some turmoil. She helped to make a significant improvement in the morale of employees working under her supervision. Ms. Pacheco’s greatest assets are her dedication to her job and her strong well developed people skills. I recommend her without any hesitation.”
