May 6, 2010

I’ve known Gerald indirectly for 8 years or more now.  We first met when I was attending DeVry Institute of Technology in Calgary from 2000-2003.  Although he held many roles at DeVry, I do remember him being the Dean and I had a few meetings with him.

It had been years since seeing Gerald, and it was pure coincidence last March 2009 when I showed up at a Calgary Chamber of Commerce meeting in dire need of a Bookkeeper and Accountant who would help me Relax about my books and give me the proper professional advice I could then pass onto my other Nerds On Site Team members in Calgary and Alberta.

I have been using Padgett Business Services for 1 year now, they have handled my 2009 Books, processed my 2009 GST owing, as well as my 2009 taxes.  Gerald and Karin are always available to answer my questions via email or phone.

I feel like I’ m in Good Hands with Padgett Business Services, compared to my previous 3.5 years of business where I had bounced between 3-4 other bookkeeping/accounting services who really didn’t seem to know what they were doing, and I didn’t feel they were giving a Self-Employed IT Contractor the proper advice.

Hi Gerald and Karin,
I just wanted to tell you how smooth the whole process was in working with you both.  Furthermore, your accessibility to outside resources was very helpful and much appreciated.  I will certainly ask for guidance, where needed, and hope to be able to work with you for next year.

Kind Regards,

Dear Gerald & Karin,

I just wanted to thank you for the services you are providing me. Prior to engaging Padgett, I avoided doing my books as I found the prospect overwhelming and time consuming. I wanted to commit my time to those activities that will generate business for me and not on administrative tasks.

When I met with Gerald, he picked up very quickly what service level would fit my business at a price that was affordable. Since engaging your services, you hve completed my year to date financials, given me advice on payroll and payroll taxes, set up a payroll account with the Federal Government and given me some ideas on how I might structure a joint venture I'm looking at.

All of these services have been carried out professionally, efficiently and in a timely manner. I am very pleased with my decision to work with you and Padgett and look forward to a long working relationship together. I have and will continue to recommend your services to other small business owners and clients of mine. Best wishes for your continued success.

Yours Truly,

Ross Gilker, President
