First impressions matter and Troy Accounting failed miserably. I called to request a consultation…read moreto open a business, arrange for ongoing bookkeeping and payroll with Troy. I was going to order a whole array of services. However, the ladies on the answering service somehow failed to secure my appointment. Even after I called twice, and two different people got my information into the system, I never received an email confirmation. When I called for the third time, I was told just to call in at the time of my appointment that someone would be ready to help even if I didn't receive the email confirmation. Of course, that was the wrong information. I called at my confirmed time and got a "let me see if someone is available". I moved meetings around to be available for this call and I was baffled by the lack of respect. The ladies were very polite and helpful, but something is broken with their reservation system or Troy just doesn't care that much. I would skip this one.

I do not recommend providing any information to this organization by signing up for or attending any of their presentations. I did not use the link in the email they sent asking for a review, because that link allows others to change the writer's words. It shows a warning stating that. I am pretty sure the company is altering submitted reviews. It was worthless to me and the majority of attendees. It appeared that 2 or 3 people there could actually make sense of what was said and interacted with the speaker. However, they could have been "plants" just to make it seem that someone was getting something out of it. The speaker spoke continuously and way too fast. The majority of people in attendance just shook their heads and walked away in disbelief. I have a suspicion it was just a way to gather information to use or to sell for other marketing purposes. I would give zero stars if I could.

These people are not accountants and do not have the licensing, education, or ability to discuss taxes. Don't waste your time. It's very close to fraudulent.

Maria was a life saver! Some back-story, I was at my wits…read moreend dealing with the middle school when my son started having severe behavioral issues after entering the 6th grade. It got so bad I was receiving 3-4 calls/emails almost every day- disrupting my work and my peace. IEP meetings were occurring but ultimately ineffective and nothing seemed to be improving. He was not getting an education and the school did not want him there or wanted to seclude him for disruptive behaviors. After Maria got involved, she came to me with a specific plan of what we needed to target for IEP changes. She was involved for several meetings and ultimately helped me get my son placed in a therapeutic school. Not an alternative school but an actual private therapy school and the school district paid. He is now in the 7th grade, almost a full year-in and thriving. She was truly a blessing for me and my son!

From the owner: Student Advocates represent the best interests of a child with a disability in the public school…read moresetting. They ensure that their educational rights are being met including their right to FAPE (a Free and Public Education). If a child with a disability is not making meaningful educational progress, they can assist by collaborating with parents and the school district to better the situation for that child. While an advocate is not a lawyer and cannot provide legal advice, their expertise and knowledge surrounding the civil rights and educational rights of children guided by the state and federal laws can be invaluable to a parent that does not have that background. Navigating this complex process is very overwhelming and intimidating to most. The average person may not be skilled and knowledgeable enough to obtain the optimal outcomes best suited for their child. I have personally walked this road with my own child for years now. I learned the hard way trying to do this on my own. Looking back now I wish I had sought help with student advocacy early on. I advocate for all children needing accommodations or special educational services at school. All children deserve to learn and thrive to the best of their abilities regardless of their disability or learning differences. Parents should feel confident that the school district and staff collaborates productively with them in developing a 504 Plan or IEP specific to their child's needs and situation.
