Maxonic recruiting services are based in india. Their recruiters speak limited English, often lack…read morekey knowledge about job requirements and are not helpful. Maxonic recruiters expect applicants to apply to jobs without disclosing the name of the hiring company - this seems to be part of the Indian culture doing business in the US. Recruiters never provide updates and leave applicants in the dark when positions close. Pay is often below industry average. AVOID. There are better recruiting firms in the market.

I received 2 messages by Karanvir Sharma in 15 minutes. It was a cheap contract for "6 Months+" (the + is definitely very exciting and probably means that the contract will last forever). The format of the email showed lack of attention to detail, including unnecessary characters that should not be added to a professional email. What annoys me the most is getting 2 messages in 15 minutes so I slap Maxonic with 2 stars.

I've had the privilege of working alongside Joe Siecinski, founder of brainSHARE, through our…read moreshared service on the Board of the College of Adaptive Arts. Joe has been a steady, thoughtful, and highly valuable contributor to the Board for many years. He consistently engages deeply with the College of Adaptive Arts' monthly financials, helping the Board stay grounded in reality while also identifying potential financial risks before they become issues. His insight and willingness to speak up early has strengthened our governance and improved our ability to move initiatives forward with clarity and confidence. What stands out most is that Joe brings the same mission-driven mindset from his work at brainSHARE into his Board service. Through brainSHARE, he has spent nearly two decades helping small and mid-sized business owners not just improve operations, but fundamentally shift how they think, lead, and support the people who depend on them. That focus on mindset, structure, and long-term growth is evident in how he shows up as a Board member. Joe cares deeply about impact, and it shows in both his professional work and his volunteer leadership. The College of Adaptive Arts is stronger for his presence on the Board, and brainSHARE reflects the same commitment to meaningful, lasting transformation.

She offers practical steps that will help you reach your goals and also hold you accountable. She is very prompt, returns email in a matter of hours. You will always learn something new on every session with her. Crystal is an amazing person overall and it's been such a pleasure having her in my corner as a business coach. Every business person should have at least a few months worth of business consultation with Crystal. I highly recommend working with Coach Crystal and Run Right Consulting.

I believe a referral to someone is paramount to one's own business, as it is for the person whom is receiving the expertise of the person being referred.

We have filed our taxes with Kathy for the last few years, but this year's experience was so poor…read morewe will not be returning. Her communication was non-existent, such that we had heard nothing two days prior to the filing deadline, even though we provided all of our documents over a month ahead of time with confirmation of their receipt. After reaching out for an update on the status, we were told they would not be done in time and we'd need to file for an extension. As a result, we overpaid by a substantial sum, which we won't see until next year's filing. If we had not reached out, it's certainly possible we wouldn't have even been able to get the extension submitted in time. Very poor professionalism, and it's clear that not all clients are treated equally. Would not recommend to anyone.

Do not use Kathy for your taxes…read more Not only did Kathy miss the deadline for filing our taxes, she failed to provide communication, and most importantly lost us money. When the deadline for tax filing was 2 days away, I noticed we had heard nothing from Kathy. I reached out and after 24 hours finally managed to get a response which stated they were very busy and we'd have to file an extension. The onus was completely on me to remind my accountant that my taxes weren't filed. It was an inconvenience to say the least and we had to scramble to get the extension filed on time. Had we been on vacation or had extraneous life events we would have been financially penalized. Secondly, I had other family employ Kathy and they also had the same experience (lack of communication and taxes filed late) -- so it was not just us. And finally, Kathy had us overpay our taxes by nearly $11,000! Instead of having that money returned in our accounts, she assumed we'd want it applied at a 2022 tax credit. When I called and said that's not what I wanted and didn't realize that's what the paperwork was, she rudely stated, "rule number one: know what you are signing". If I understood taxes on a legal level I wouldn't hire an accountant - I explained this to Kathy and I said that's what I hired her for -- to understand and clarify the legal language for me. She again, rudely told me, "Rule number one: know what you are signing". Given this level of service and extreme incompetence, coupled with flat out rude behavior, I would never recommend her. Kathy's an incompetent accountant who I would not trust to do anyone's taxes after this experience.

I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

We won four hours of organizing services from Lisa at The Time Butler at a charity auction…read more We put off calling Lisa for a few months, but we eventually got around to making the appointment for a two-hour visit. I stalled by giving her a tour of the house, which took up most of the time, but she did "encourage" us to clear off the kitchen table -- we filled up a couple of bags of paper during that exercise. She returned a couple of weeks later, and we used up the other donated hours. On that visit, we cleared out the media shelves in the family room, uncovered the coffee table, and rediscovered the desk. We also filled up several bags of stuff (books, VHS tapes, magazines, toys, and who knows what else) which were suitable for charitable donations -- and Lisa took it all away. She's been back twice since then, helping us deal with the shelves and desk in the kitchen, all of which are organized, clear, and usable for the first time in a long time. And again, we donated a bunch of stuff to charity (as well as filling a recycle bin!). In between visits, I got rid of some excess hardware by putting it on craigslist (most of it sold within an hour); I've also started transferring old VHS tapes to DVD (though why I needed a DVD version of King Dinosaur is a matter of some debate with the rest of the members of the household). There's no magic to it -- we're doing all the work (well, she wields the labelmaker...) and making all the decisions. But she acts as a forcing function -- when she hands us a pile to go through, it seems silly to just put it back where it was (though "later" is always a valid decision -- and I've deferred some things by moving them to a room we haven't reached yet). I'm happy we won her services, and happier that I finally got around to calling and making the appointment!
