The work she did for us was vital and needed a quick turnaround – we happened to land on her schedule just right. Within two weeks, she completed more work than we could have imagined! She went way above and beyond for us. Maureen was a great communicator; we easily shared files and met virtually. She took care of us and gave our project the heart it needed. She made us all feel super comfortable and hopeful right from the beginning! I could say so many more great things about her. We look forward to maintaining our connection with Maureen for many years to come!” Nicole S, NH Nonprofit Board Chair, President

I wholeheartedly recommend Maureen to any nonprofit or small business in need of services.” AF, Executive Director

I believe Maureen would be an asset to any organization.” auditor for current client

“I was sitting at my computer reviewing a grant invitation and its requirements and I needed to update my budget forecast. One phone call and Maureen set me on the right path. She helped prepare both our budget and business plan and took the time to explain line items and priorities for grant seeking. There is no doubt we will be using her services on a regular basis!” SM, Executive Director 

“Maureen is completely dependable to handle the ordinary financial and accounting tasks, but perhaps more importantly she quickly and successfully tackles and resolves the thornier issues that invariably arise. Maureen’s fluency with spreadsheets and her ability to present financial situations are impressive. She independently and correctly prioritizes the actions that need to be accomplished. She is also always pleasant, cheerful and a true delight to work with.” GC, Deputy Director

“Maureen has excellent technical skills relative to budget forecasting, management, and accounting. What has always impressed me is her sophisticated understanding of complicated financial management systems. She has an impressive ability to understand revenues and expenditures across multiple accounts, to see both the big picture and the individual components of a system with diverse reporting requirements, project timelines, expenditure rules, and cost accounting. Maureen takes a creative approach to solving short-term and longer-term challenges while assuring that fiscal actions are consistent with the organization’s policies and standard accounting practices.” BM, Interim Leadership Role
