Keith Gormezano’s Summary
I teach small business owners how to effectively use QuickBooks and other bookkeeping software (for Windows or Mac) as well as personal financial management software like Quicken or Money by offering one-on-one personalized training, tutoring, classes, instruction, and seminars at their businesses, homes, coffee shops, my place, or online at your pace.
There is nothing more fun than watching someone's eyes light up as they gain the self-confidence by making their financial or accounting software work for them, instead of the other way around, showing them how to link up their bank accounts to the program and learn how to produce financial reports that tell them how their business or investment and retirement plans are really doing.
And so they don't make the mistake two of my small business clients made by creating their chart of accounts for a C corporation when they were a LLC and setting up their credit card as an expense account for the other.
Do you need someone to set up or check your business or start ups chart of accounts, financial records, or books? Have you slowly come to the realization that you don't know how to use your accounting software and it is affecting your bottom line? Has your company grown to the point where it would be nice to have someone come in on a regular basis to train, tutor, and instruct you and your staff in QuickBooks, Peachtree®, or Microsoft Small Business Accounting or their new Office Accounting Express® to do your bookkeeping and financial reports and let you make more money by doing what you really enjoy doing?
Or would you rather sit in the dark?

"Dr. QuickBooks (TM): I Make House Calls"
A Better Temporary, Inc.: QuickBooks and Quicken Training in Greater Seattle and Western Washington

February 2003 — Present (5 years 8 months)
As a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, I can help you solve some common accounting software, bookkeeping issues and problems.
Well, let me come to you so you can show me your business or bring your friendly laptop for coffee at an independent coffee shop and chat for 30 minutes about what I can do for you and to bounce ideas off of. You’ve hired an attorney, accountant, insurance broker, and others to help you start your business.
Shouldn’t you hire someone to teach you how to effectively use the accounting software that you’ll be relying on to discover how well you are (or aren’t) doing?
