“For lack of a better way to put it, Sarah has been holding my hand since early 2016. With no prior business ownership experience, Sarah helped create my business plan/cash flow and ultimately helped guide me through pitching my vision to potential investors. Simply put, I owe much of the financial success of my company to the guidance of Sarah and her team at ITC. ITC also helped convert my company from an LLC to an S-Corp which ultimately saved my company tens of thousands of dollars. The financial counsel that ITC takes the initiative to provide is one of the cornerstones of Sleek Machine’s success since before we even had our doors open. I strongly recommend the services of ITC to any business owner that is in need of a CPA that will listen attentively and that you can trust implicitly.”
