I was involved in an auto accident and the person's insurance company that hit me called me several…read moretimes trying to get information etc. I did not have money to retain an Attorney, but Attorney Donald Bumiller's office took my case and I didn't have to pay anything unless he recovered money from my case. Needless to say, I received a great settlement and they did an outstanding job in making sure I got proper medical care and all my bills were paid in full by the insurance company. Also, it was a relief because once they took my case, the insurance adjustors stopped calling and I had less stress in my life knowing and feeling extremely confident he would get the maximum possible settlement, in which he did! Attorney Bumiller knows what he is doing and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a Personal Injury Attorney.

Up until last year, my tax season would go something like this: do nothing until April 10th, then…read morescramble to find all of my paperwork, find a cheap online program, and cross my fingers that I did everything right. But then last year I started a business and with the new tax law, I knew I had to start working with a business tax expert. In our first meeting together, Pamela walked me through my business structure options ... and even referred me to a local business attorney to file all the appropriate paperwork. Then when tax season came she made the process as easy as possible. She mailed me a file folder to hold all my documents as they came in the mail. I simply mailed that and her straightforward questionnaire back, and she and her team did the rest. The process was seamless and transparent from beginning to end. If you're a North Shore business in need of an accountant or want a second opinion on your current situation, I highly recommend you schedule a time to talk with Pamela Boardway.

This company has no idea what they're doing. The biggest issue? When an employee hits the…read morecontribution limit for 401k contributions in a year, they have no way to stop the deductions from an employee's paycheck. The biggest issue that affects me? They can't develop the necessary reports we need to run our business. For example, I need a simple headcount report that reports all the active and termed employees within a certain timeframe (not always on a calendar year basis) and they're not able to do that. I've been working with their report developers to get such a report and we're going in to our 9th month of "development" and they still can't get the report correct. Additionally, their "standard" reports keep changing. Some reports I need only on a yearly basis, but so far each year I go to use the report it's been changed from the previous year (different column orders, different data included in the report, etc.) and my macros and vlookup formulas no longer work properly. I'm in my second year with them and I have to keep changing MY process to get the data I need. Basically, they're unreliable and apparently have no idea what they're doing.

MassPay has been great! We use their services for two small businesses and they are soooo reliable!…read moreTheir rates are fair, and their customer service is excellent. I know I have met Marie and she is wonderful, so kind and friendly and knowledgeable. It's so great working with a company that understands our needs and also explains each step of the process. Also, I joined in on a free webinar they provided that was partnered with a local law office (I don't have my notes in front of me so I can't remember the name but will happily give them a review as well) and it was so easy and informative. They walked us through the changes in the MA sick leave laws. In tandem they went through explaining each portion of the law all the way down to what that means for liability and payroll. It was so easy to follow and understand, seriously great job! Thank you so much for being a company that is genuinely likable and not solely focused on being liked. Being a young female small business owner is no small feat, but working with MassPay has taken a huuuuuge strain off, by knowing that we are working with a company that also believes in the validity of a "handshake deal"
