One of my core values is mutuality. I seek strategic partnerships that allow everyone to get what they want. When I can’t provide what you need, I have a large network of excellent professionals I can connect you to. Below are just a few of those teammates.
Bookkeeping and Payroll Software
- I have found FreshBooks to be an excellent solution for freelancers, independent contractors, and micro businesses that primarily provide services. Use this link when you sign up and I’ll get a $25.00 gift card.
- If you’re a small business with a little more complexity than a business with 12 or fewer employees, you might find QuickBooks Online a good option. It seems to be especially good for growing businesses and ones with inventory to manage. Use this link when you sign up and you and I will both get $50.00 gift cards.
- My favorite online payroll service to date has been Gusto, which was known as Zen Payroll when I first used it many years ago. Gusto is very affordable for even the tiniest businesses or domestic employers. You can also get help tracking employees’ paid sick leave. Just be careful when using a payroll service to pay freelancers, independent contractors, subcontractors, and other vendors. Use this link when you sign up, and I’ll get a credit of some sort. You’ll get $100.00 after you run payroll.

Business Immigration Law Services
- Scott Legal, P.C. is especially skilled in investor and other business visas
- Dobson Law PLLC is who I trust with “No Match” Letters from the Social Security Administration and other immigration issues
Employment Law Services
- Alison Greenberg, Esq. has been described by management-side employment lawyers as the litigator you don’t want to go against
