Report
Chrissy and the team at Lifeline Financial have made our lives so much easier. There are a multitude of reasons we've stayed with them for 9 years. Maintaining the books, licenses, registrations, and finances for 6 different operations is an overwhelming task which we've been fortunate enough to receive the utmost support and guidance with from this company, and in a manner that is both timely and proactive. Lifeline takes care to ensure that all the avenues are covered and accounted for, and cuts no corners on gathering what's necessary to stay organized later down the line. The peace of mind that comes from having a book keeper that you can fully trust on matters outside of your own understanding is absolutely unequalled.

Report
Lifeline Financial Services is great to work with. When the Manchester Historic Association had a need for a bookkeeper, the team at Lifeline came in and quickly learned the ins and outs of how we operate and helped us to streamline our bookkeeping practices, saving us both time and money. From recording daily transactions, to monthly reporting, to assisting with our annual audit, the team at lifeline is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We have been working with Lifeline for over two years now and enthusiastically recommend them to anyone in need of bookkeeping services.
