Hi Cynthia,
I wanted to thank-you for the great job that you did with “Reading Financial Statements - The Language of Business". It was very informative with useful information. I enjoyed the "hands on" exercises that we did. This was an excellent way to apply what we were being taught to real world scenarios. I found too, that this workshop was very helpful for me to better understand Quick Books. Cynthia did a great job & I would strongly recommend this workshop to anyone whom wants to better understand their business language. It was well worth the investment.

Scientifically yours

Having had the distinct pleasure of working with Cindy Alloway of Common Sense Business Solutions, it is a pleasure to provide a testimony. Cindy has all of the qualifications of an excellent administrator, teacher and bookkeeper. Having worked with Cindy for three years it is easy to attest to her integrity, honesty and reliability. Cindy's and her company's work ethics are above reproach.

It has been my pleasure to have spent time with Cindy as both a co-worker and student.

Sincerely,

Kathleen Farrell

We have worked with and known Cindy for two years now. She has the utmost of integrity and professionalism, is trustworthy and honest as well as having complete knowledge of helping us grow our business. Cindy has the utmost of patience to deal with teaching us, who have little knowledge of “keeping our books” for our business. She is not only our financial consultant, but also our friend. Cindy has the wonderful ability to train people with ease and confidence in her seminars/workshops and we always look forward to learning more at each session. Cindy always goes “above and beyond the call of duty” in business as well as in friendship. If she believes in you, it is with her heart and soul and her friendship and/or business relationship will be lifelong. We definitely recommend Cindy for any endeavor she puts forth.

I would highly recommend Common Sense Business Solutions. I started a new business without any prior, serious financial knowledge, and turned to Cynthia at Common Sense Business Solutions, Inc. for help after one year. With her help, we have gone from trying to guess our financial situation, to actually having a clear financial picture of our company. She has trained me to keep up-to-date, accurate financial and administrative reports, so I always know where our company is at. I would say her guidance and training have been absolutely crucial to our current financial success.

I have known Cindy Alloway of Common Sense Business Solutions, Inc. for well over five years. She has been a friend of our family as well as having working for me on a consulting basis. My wife and I wanted to start a business but didn’t know where or how to begin. Cindy was instrumental in guiding us through the entire process and helped us get our business out of the box and into the marketplace. Cindy will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. And that has kept me from making some very costly mistakes. I would give my recommendation without hesitation.

Cindy has been an incredible asset to our company. As a new business owner, I didn't know the first thing about accounting or Quickbooks. First, she helped me set up our company in Quickbooks, then she trained me on not only how to accomplish tasks in the software, but also gave me a basic understanding of accounting principles. She continues to support our company with monthly and quarterly corporate taxes and reviews our "books" regularly to ensure the highest integrity. I've also attended Cindy's "Reading Financial Statements – The Language of Business" seminar, which was extremely helpful to understand the bigger picture of our company's finances. I have referred Cindy to a number of friends who own businesses and will continue to refer her. She's friendly, easy to work with and has a razor sharp knowledge of Quickbooks and the underlying accounting principles.

Hi Cindy, I've been meaning to let you know how much I enjoyed your seminar. I've been to many, many seminars like this one and have read many books on the subject, and have never put so many things into action so quickly as I did after your seminar. You had so many practical, easy to implement things to do that have created more time and focus in my life. Thank you so much!!!!

Sincerely,

My name is Shannon Smith.  I started a business last year, but wasn’t sure of what was needed in the “back-end” to that business.  I had heard of, and met Cindy at networking functions several times.  Everyone told me she was the best.  Even so I wasn’t ready to have someone tell me what to do in MY BUSINESS!  I figured I would go to one of her seminars, just to see what it was all about.  I went to the “financial Statements: the Language of your business.”  Best money I could have spent.  Not only did she show me where some trouble spots were in my business, and she went over areas I didn’t even know I needed to know!

I got my business back into shape, I thought, until I went to her next seminar – “Put it in the Box” This class showed me how disorganized I was, in fact, some areas were so disorganized I didn’t know I was.  After implementing her ideas, and her follow up that comes with her services, I can honestly say I have learned a lot about what is needed to have a successful business.

Anyone looking to learn about the nuts and bolts of good business practices, Cindy is the way to go.

Feel free to contact me ANY time to ask about her, just be prepared to listen for awhile! J

Thanks so much for meeting with me today. I really felt like I had a load lifted off my shoulders because you made me see that things are not as bad as I had them in my head to be. I look forward to meeting next week. Thanks again.

(Business Coaching)
Thank you for your excellent suggestions. I knew I was wasting a lot of time but I needed someone to point out steps to take to solve all the redundancies. We will follow your advice and see how much better things are when we get used to a new routine

Your visit really inspired me and helped me rethink my business goals and my family priorities and goals too! I am so appreciative of your time. Thanks for your ideas and organizational techniques shared. You'll be so proud! I have the workroom almost completed and am now wirelessly networked! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for your time.

(Financial Counseling)
Since meeting with you, reading/doing our workbook, working off a budget for two months & having the mind set of “Needs vs Wants,” we feel we have our situation under control. My wife is starting a full time job next week - This move will more than double her income! I ended up getting that raise and will be able to tithe and pay off my debt in approx. 17 months. We truly feel the Lord led us to you and we know in our hearts that we are on “road to recovery.” Thanks for all of your time and commitment.

Dear Cindy:

I would like to express my appreciation for your feedback during your financial counseling session yesterday. You have a unique vantage point to see the "baggage" that contributes to the potential for failure of relationships. I don't want to fall victim to the destructive behavior patterns of the past. I am committed to do whatever it takes to remove the stumbling blocks to our future happiness.

I have already ordered a copy of the resources that you recommended.

Thank you again for your help, understanding, and counseling.

Cynthia Alloway was highly recommended by our accountant as someone who could set up QuickBooks for our new company. She did that and also showed us how to use our new accounting tool. With extensive experience in small business, she was able to speak with the people who had developed our ad order entry system to make the systems co-ordinate properly. Paying for her services is one of the best investments we have made in our first year in business.

Dear Cindy;

I just wanted to write and thank you for our visit tonight. A lot of what you said, we had already thought about but didn't want to believe was really necessary to do. But I am SO GLAD that you emphasized those points. We are pretty bummed but we both know it's the right and necessary thing to do. And, we will get through this and be so much better off. I am looking forward to seeing less bills in our mailbox, already! What you said about getting our kids to become more responsible adults also really hit home too. I just realized our teenager has zero clue how to even load up a dishwashing machine.... or run a load of laundry!

Take care and thanks so much again.
