Join Gary and Murph at 2 p.m. (EST) on Wednesday, Aug. 16, for a special rendition of "QB Talks." We will be visiting with several of the 2023 Top 100 and Categorical Awards. (REGISTER)
While we have had Award related shows in the past, they primarily have focused on award recipients. I cannot remember ever having a "QB Talks" where we talked with new members to our Top 100 list and Up-n-coming ProAdvisor, and seasoned veterans.
We hope to hear a little about our panelists and their practices, as well as how each has worked to reach recognition on the 2023 Top 100 or Categorical Award.
Joining the Top 100 list for the first time will be Beth Whitworth, CPA. Beth is the owner of Accounting Solutions Group (St. Louis), which specializes in bookkeeping back office functions and outsourced CFO services.
She and her staff pride themselves on the QuickBooks Advanced ProAdvisor status, which has given them the expertise to deal with their clients' QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop issues.
With over 20 years of experience in the accounting industry, Beth's firm focuses on helping small-to-mid sized companies recognize increased profits.
We also will be joined by another first time member of the Top 100, Kimberly Noh of Noh Hassle Bookkeeping (Brandon, Florida). As a QuickBooks Advanced ProAdvisor with more than 30 years of bookkeeping and accounting experience, Kim provides business owners with hassle free peace of mind so they can focus on growing their businesses.
Noh Hassle Bookkeeping provides consulting, troubleshooting, training, payroll and bookkeeping services for its clients.
Then, all the way from Mashpee, Maine is one of our Top 100 10-year veterans, Susan Cook. An Advanced QuickBooks ProAdvisor in both QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online, she also is the 2021 recipient of the QuickBooks Desktop ProAdvisor category.
Susan's firm, Account Ability Consulting Inc., provides set-up, training and troubleshooting for QuickBooks clients. But the real question for Susan is, "How does it feel to be among the few ProAdvisors in the world to have been in the Top 100 for 10 years running?"
But newly vested members of the Top 100 and a seasoned veteran aren't our only participants. We also will be joined by Sheri Radler, CPA, the 2023 Up-N-Coming ProAdvisor recipient.
Sheri, who made it to the very top of the 'first' list of 25 Up-n-comers for 2023, is the principal of R Accounting Group (Prospect, Kentucky). Her company "exists to help businesses maintain their books so they can have accurate accounting information..."
As a QBO Advanced ProAdvisor, she specializes in QuickBooks Online providing payroll, bookkeeping and general administrative support.
But this wouldn't be a QB Talks awards show if we didn't include Insightful Accountant's 2023 ProAdvisor of the Year.
So, also joining us will be financial expert and QuickBooks ProAdvisor Vanessa Vasquez, who is confident that QuickBooks has helped Latinos grow their businesses.
While a QuickBooks survey showed more than 4 million Latino workers are looking to start businesses in the US, starting a business will be challenging for many of them. Yet Vasquez has not only seen QuickBooks help those start-ups keep their doors open, but actually grow their businesses.
One reason for that success within the Latino community, especially in South Florida, is Vanessa herself. Her focus has been to help entrepreneurs succeed by streamlining their small business financial processes through education and technology.
Vanessa regularly gives back to the community in the US and Latin America by providing solutions for business owners and their everyday problems because she earnestly understands their needs. For more than 15 years she has trained the tax and accounting community on how to use QuickBooks for less work and better results.
Vanessa is a member of Intuit's Trainer/Writer Network, a long standing member of Insightful Accountant's Top 100 ProAdvisors, and regularly presents sessions at QuickBooks Connect, Scaling New Heights, CPAAcademy.org and Latino Tax Fest. Vanessa also co-hosts Conecta Tus Finanza.
Whether you are just starting out or have been on your quest for the best to reach Top 100 for some time, there is no better place to learn what it takes to reach the list and beyond.
So be sure to join us as we talk all things related to "what it takes to be in the next Top 100 ProAdvisors!"
