When it was time to make the switch from Excel to QuickBooks, Brooke came to our home to work with me and teach me how to use it. She would instruct me via email whenever I needed. She was and has always been there to answer anything I have ever needed, and it was quite a lot at times. Always pleasant and gracious as well. The best.
