I have worked with Lisa and her team for several years now. Not only are they incredibly competent and on top of their game when it comes to handing all of my accounting and taxes, Lisa has also been an invaluable resource to me as a new business owner. I purchased Encore Boutique and Consignments two years ago (I managed it for the previous owner before purchasing) and Lisa and her team were there for me EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. She advised me, she kept me on track, and was a true source of information that I never would have even thought of. As this pandemic hit, and utter panic set it, Lisa and her team were the calm that I needed as a business owner to get through this uncharted time. If I needed advice, ideas to help me think outside of the box, certain paperwork on the spot to apply for this or that, and honestly an independent source to bounce my concerns and successes off of, they were there. Lisa and her team are the single best thing I have done for my business. I highly recommend Mayo Strategic Advisors.
