Commonwealth Counseling
Associates, PC

Dr J. Bullock

"Our rapidly growing healthcare business urgently required a broadly experienced bookkeeper to assist with complex payroll issues and related tax and bookkeeping duties. Mrs. Arnold quickly learned our business protocols and work flow; as a result, she was able to take over many of the core bookkeeping tasks, including the more complex tasks, immediately. This is particularly impressive because the consulting relationship we established relies largely on electronic communication, as our firm is located about 100 miles south of Mrs. Arnold's offices. I have found Mrs. Arnold to be very bright, very knowledgeable, detail-oriented, precise in her work, and proactive in addressing our needs. Moreover, she has been prompt and personable in all of our dealings with her."

"We contracted with Legible Ledgers after our previous accountants were fired and Marjorie was brought on to clean up our accounting books and records. It was in a bad shape but Marjorie was able to get the books reconciled in a timely manner. We knew we had someone good when our client invoices went on time without any issues. She is great with her knowledge of QuickBooks and made our lives much easier!"

"I have worked with Marjorie, of Legible Ledgers Bookkeeping, for about 4 years. She has always been professional, timely, and trustworthy. Besides just being capable, she gave us the attention we needed as small business owners. I give her my highest recommendation."

Washington DC Alumnae Foundation Inc

A. Doman

"Ms. Marjorie Arnold provided exemplary service to my organization. She entered and reconciled 19 months of raw data into QB to get our organization up and running in record time after months of not using QB. She was able to grasp our former Treasurer's system and make recommendation and changes to improve our QB usage. This included, Ms. Arnold developing reports to make it easier for us to query and generate data. She is very personable, approachable and makes you feel comfortable when asking questions. I am extremely appreciative of the services she provided and just wish my organization had met her sooner. Thank you Marjorie for everything!"
