"Hiring Supporting Strategies was the best decision I ever made. As our outsourced AP department, they quickly learned all of our vendors and took bill pay and bookkeeping off our plate so we can focus on the strategy and operations of the business. Your Accountant Michael is just the best. He epitomizes “making our lives easier. They’ve also been fun to work with – not always something you expect when working on financials!"

Stephanie Morimoto, Owner & CEO, Asutra

“Now that I am working with Supporting Strategies, I don’t have to worry about making sure my books are up to date — it just happens. It’s a great relief to no longer be saddled with bookkeeping tasks.”
