“Since coming to this organization, I’ve only ever been disappointed with the accounting firms that I’ve had to work with. I worked with two separate outsourced accounting firms and an audit firm, and I was consistently disappointed with all of them. It’s been a completely different experience working with TCCFO.”
–John Watkins, Catholic Charities Yolo – Solano
