I have found them to be consistently knowledgeable, responsive, and service-oriented, from top to bottom. They are Quickbooks-qualified, and reasonably priced, too. I enjoy working with them and feel like they provide excellent value and expertise. I appreciate not having to go downtown for downtown quality. The other reviewer who gave them 1 star isn't even from this area, so I smell a rat.

There were many small pieces of paper, notes on statements and a check register that was not complete. Gitts Bookeeping took all the information, straightened it out, put it in a concise and very clear format and prepared a letter for our tax purposes. They took a mess and cleaned it all up, made it presentable, able to be understood, and presented a document that was professional and complete. I will certainly use Gitts bookeeping for the next audit.

Something that turned out was costing me a lot of extra money that I didn't have to be spending. Jack was able to bring it all under one roof with several policies through the same company that ended up saving me over $1200 a year for just one of the four policies alone. He was always prompt and answering calls and getting back to us same day. And he took the time to sit down and answer all the questions we had. So we are extremely happy that we found him. And we will definitely continue to use him.

Hello Everyone, this in no way reflects against Jack Toohey professionally or personally. I'm…read morewriting this review in part about Country Financial. I had them as my insurance company. I had a brand new fridge I purchased in February 2023. On June 6 of this year the fridge leaked all over my floor. Ruining my floors in my house. After 4 months of having damages to my floors I finally got my floors fixed. Country financial did everything in there power to not cover all the damages. They said since I have a break in my flooring they wanted to partially replace the flooring in my house. The flooring in my house was only 6 years old. The old flooring was no longer made anymore. So they wanted to piece together my home. Back to the fridge, so Samsung was liable for all damages to my home they reimbursed me for my refrigerator only. Country financial was dealing directly with Samsung with only there reimbursement in mind. Over the claim country worked only for themselves. They did not treat me as a customer, they treated me very poorly in regards of not backing me as a customer. They could have fixed my flooring correctly and had Samsung pay for all the damages. But they didn't, They basically threw me under the bus and I lost 4249.50 in repair costs for bedroom floor replacement. So after my floors were repaired, country financial was fully reimbursed for the claim I received a large rate hike on my home and car insurance policy. My car insurance doubled in price and my homeowners policy went up 230.00 dollars as well. I went with a different insurance company got way better coverage on my car and home policy. Run very far from country Financial.
