I also want to thank you for the job that you did tonight.  I was watching as the light bulbs were going on around the room.  What I thought I saw was the linking of the financial models to the reality of the business operation.  You made it very real for them and simplified a process  for the rest of the instructors.

Additionally, I thought that your approach ,starting at GP and then an immediate transition to breakeven was inspired.  My experience has always been that this stuff is taught from a cost then income sheet, with all the detail first, perspective.  I think that they will fill in the details almost automatically now.

I enjoyed watching a master at work tonight.

After having such poor direction from my past CPA and going through such frustrating financial times, I am looking forward to a long growing relationship with you.  My gut feeling tells me that I picked the right talent to help Regency grow and start financial planning for the future.

Joel Merbaum, REGENCY HOSPITALITY GROUP INC.

I hired Paul Rafanello to help me with converting my Quicken business information into QuickBooks.  Not only did Paul get over a years worth of data into QuickBooks, he loaded the software and trained me how to use it.  In one afternoon I was able to enter information into and use my bookkeeping system.  He has saved me endless hours of work!  I am able to develop budgets and business goals because of Paul helping me with QuickBooks.  Thank you Paul Rafanello for your patience and training so I can continue to develop my financial objectives!

Dear Paul,

I apologize for not writing this to you sooner, but I want to thank you so very much for taking the time to meet with me a few weeks ago.  You not only answered a lot of my logistical questions about opening my small cake business, but you provided me with a lot of inspiration, enthusiasm and confidence.  After our meeting I was absolutely glowing with excitement for the business potential ahead of me.  You really helped me see more clearly the reality of my dream and the path to get there.  I can't thank you enough for that brief hour."

Willie Mae Murphy

"Paul Rafanello has been invaluable to our firm in areas encompassing traditional accounting services such as sales and income tax audits, cash flow analysis, tax planning, and year-end audits.  What makes Paul stand out among many is his experience and business perspective coupled with an expertise in IT functions which has made him a resource I have often relied upon.  He not only identifies problems, current and future, but is extremely proactive in helping to find answers.”  

Curt Gibson, Chief Financial Officer, Command Financial Press Corp.

"Thank you for the valuable advice presented at your recent tax-planning seminar.  Your ability to translate the tax code into actionable strategies has made compliance with the law a much less daunting experience.  Since the founding of my firm your guidance has consistently been a significant contributor to our success." 

John F Heslin, President, Heslin Communication Services, Inc.

 "I received a great deal of information from your website which assisted me immensely with my MaryKay business.  Being a brand new entrepreneur there are many questions that arise when dealing with the operation of a business and how it could be managed smoothly.  Thank you for the vast information." 

Elizabeth E. Lopez, Independent Senior Consultant at MaryKay,

"In the time we worked together, I was impressed with Paul's vast knowledge of accounting and computers, especially his skill in automating small businesses.

Paul's work was thorough and extremely technical, more so than anyone else with whom we worked. His dedication to his work and his clients went above and beyond. In fact, it would not be surprising to find Paul spending his own time to help a client, with no knowledge of computers, to become adept enough that they could handle Quickbooks on their own."

Frank Mizerik, Selznick & Company, LLP

"Dear Paul,

 Thank you for your expertise during our tax engagement.  Your team was responsive, professional and knowledgeable.  We appreciate having a trusted advisor."

 

Ginnie McDevitt, Controller , S & S Fire Suppressions Systems, Inc.,Orangeburg, NY

"Over the last 3 years Paul has helped take my company from a one man show to a multi-million dollar enterprise. He has been key to making sure I didn't make any stupid mistakes along the way, and still had some cash left over to pay the bills.

He actually would come over to my house and explain to me everything that I needed to know. Thanks for everything Paul."
 
-Justin Tracy, CTO of Realty Generator
 
"As an office manager for a very busy three physician OB/GYN group, it has been a pleasure having Paul for an accountant. His expertise in accounting has made my job a lot easier. His knowledge in Quickbooks as been an asset to our practice as he has quickly resolved many issues and taught me a lot. We converted to Quickbooks back in 1994, and since then we've saved on our accounting fees. Paul is very professional and a great person to deal with."
 
Yvette Alston, Office Manager, Essex Women's Health Center,

 "To All Those Considering Paul for Their CPA,

     Paul has done our taxes for at least three years.  It was refreshing to find a CPA that was interested in making the whole tax experience less painful.  We would call Paul around tax time and he would make an appointment with us in our home right away.  Even in bad weather, he would keep that appointment.  He would tell us what information we were lacking and answer any and all questions.  Within a week he would call us and let us know the delivery date.  He would sit down with us and review the return.  He had envelopes prepared to make the mailing process easy as well.  I thoroughly recommend Paul for your personal or business related tax needs.  He has always been there when we called and helped us in a timely fashion.  In my experience that kind of response from any professional is rare."   

Thank you for your time, Tamara Palmer  

"As we begin another year I just want to thank you for your excellent professional guidance over the last four years.When we began our business four years ago I had little to no knowledge of all the bookkeeping, payroll, taxes, insurances, etc. that I would have to handle. 

You were very patient and professional in instructing and overseeing my work and sharing your expertise in Quick Books.   

I have and will continue to enjoy working with you and wish you the very best in your new endeavors.  

Many Thanks,"

Jean Meier, Secretary/Treasurer, OPHIR HOLDINGS LTD, Purchase, NY 

"Paul is simply brilliant!  I have worked closely with him for the past five years and he has taught me so much about QuickBooks and accounting in general!  Whenever I didn't understand something, I would call Paul and he would stop what he was doing and walk me through my "challenge."  Being a bookkeeper isn't always an easy task, but having Paul to guide me has made life so much easier.  Thanks Paul!"

Colleen M. Laffman-Fuchs, Bookkeeper, RMT Electric Corp.   

"I would like to thank you for your time and  help at the Warwick Chamber of Commerce lecture series on the 2004 Federal Tax Update. You were an interesting speaker and the information was very helpful"
