Testimonials
“As a small business owner, I did not realize all the administrative portions of owning a small business would entail. Another small business owner referred me to Laura in 2018 and she was able to help me get organized from previous years of records and tax returns for both state and federal. Laura has exceeded all my expectations and continues to maintain my monthly financial reports along with required state and federal returns. I highly recommend Lone Star Bookkeeping to anyone who is needing to save both time and money for their business.”
“I have been their client from the start. They are professional and reliable. They take care of all my tax needs which allows me to focus on my work.
Laura and her staff are friendly and a pleasure to work with. Give them a try.”
“I have known Laura since her “San Angelo days” when she work for the Comptroller. She was very helpful back then when it came to filing my sales tax. It didn’t surprise me when she told me she was going into business for herself. I did not hesitate to hire her as my bookkeeper. And even today she continues to take the load off my shoulder with all the paperwork that running a business entails”
“Made my life 10 times easier by bookkeeping my construction company.”
“Laura is such a great lady she is friendly, patient and reliable . I came to her not knowing how bad my books were. And even though we had two different programs she made it work. Eventually we both got on the same program which has been a whole lot easier. I would definitely recommend her!”
