“I’m so glad I worked with Leni at P&L CPAs to set up the LLC for my business. She made what I thought would be stressful feel easy, answered all my questions, and had everything done faster than expected. Would absolutely work with her again.”

HEATHER, OWNER OF THE SALTY BURGER

“I couldn’t do it without them!”

DANNY SMITH, 5 SMITH SEEDS, INC.

“Before working with Leni, I didn’t know if my business was actually making money. Now I get monthly reports I can understand, and we have quarterly meetings where she helps me plan ahead. For the first time, I feel like I’m in control of my finances instead of just reacting to them.”
