“I’ve been working with Diane Hailey at UpStart Accounting for the past month, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her support. She not only helped me clean up my books but also took the time to guide me on how to manage my own bookkeeping moving forward. Her feedback has been invaluable, and she even connected me with a trusted tax preparation company to handle my business taxes. Diane is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about helping her clients succeed. I highly recommend her services to any business owner looking for reliable accounting support!”

“As an entrepreneur, managing my finances is a significant aspect of growing my business. I had a wonderful consultation session with Diane. Not only did she explain how I can use QuickBooks to keep track of the business's expenses, but she also showed me how I can use it to manage my finances. She went as far as showing me step by step how to use QuickBooks, providing examples and illustrations. What a helpful resource or tool to utilize in your business!”

"I cannot recommend UpStart Accounting highly enough for small business..."

“I cannot recommend UpStart Accounting highly enough for small business bookkeeping and accounting needs. As the owner of a copywriting and marketing firm, keeping meticulous financial records is crucial but also time-consuming. UpStart has been an invaluable partner, ensuring my books are accurate, up-to-date, and tax-ready. Their team, particularly founder & principal accountant Ms Diane Hailey is extremely knowledgeable, patient and happy to answer any of my questions, no matter how basic - and I could focus on my business business rather than getting bogged down with bookkeeping tasks. The services were top tier and I recommend them to any small business owner.”

"Diane was kind enough to offer me a complimentary coaching session..."

“Diane was kind enough to offer me a complimentary coaching session left me with value. With her patient guidance, she introduced me to various features in QuickBooks Online that I hadn't fully tapped into before. I appreciated her calm demeanor and clear explanations. She is adept at taking complex subjects and making them easy to understand. I highly recommend her services to anyone in search of an accountant who excels as a teacher as well.”

Filip & Masha Georgiev

"Diane is such a thorough and detail oriented person. She helped me out..."

“Diane is such a thorough and detail oriented person. She helped me out so much! After the loss of my husband I was left with having to do final filings and book keeping of his corporation and I had no idea what to do or how to do it! Diane worked along side with our CPA and diligently combed through the financials. I could not have done this without her!!! I highly recommend her to anyone for their bookkeeping needs!”
