Testimonials

• “I have worked with Fred and Catherine for over 10 years. Fred has been by my side before the bull dozers started moving dirt for my store. As a matter of fact, it was Fred who helped me pick my first bank in Richmond when I opened Tom Leonard’s in 2004. When it comes to important decisions or day to day book keeping of personal affairs – Fred and Catherine oversee it for me. Its my personal experience that Ames and Ames are a flexible, open minded and available team willing to jump right in and help you solve your problems.” – Tom

• “We are a small business and started using Ames Accounting about 2 years ago. We love the personal attention–no question is ever too insignificant (and believe me we’ve asked a BUNCH)!! Catherine has helped us set up accounts with vendors, spoken to the city on our behalf and done other things not normally associated with accounting. I recommend them wholeheartedly and am delighted to be on their client list.” – Karen

• “Fred and Catherine helped us cleaning up a major accounting mess left with the prior CPA firm and corrected and re-filed a few prior year’s tax returns – resulted in thousands of dollars of tax saving.  They have taken a hands on approach ensuring that deadlines are meet along with being prompt in any accounting/tax inquiries we have.  I don’t see them as my accountant, they treat me as a friend, and they give me advice regarding my tax matters like you talk to your friend and seeking solutions. I’m very happy with the service and recommend them to everyone.” – Adam
