"Thank you [Member Name Removed], it's always a joy to come and help you get organized. I takeaway new info with each visit to you; thanks for sharing. Deb"
"What a great couple to work with! Both were open to being flexible to change in order to create space and order."
Filing system is still incomplete! I am adding a P.S. to my initial review. I now understand how sorting & filing can be an overwhelming task. Sometimes it takes more than one visit to get the job done. Initially I thought the pricing was too high, but in the end you get what you pay for. Debra was worth it, with her knowledge & experience of how to get the job done. She is coming back, to help me make sense of it all! An apology to Order In The House, for initially writing a hasty review!
"This client was a wonderful lady whose husband had passed away and there were four years of papers and taxes to organize. We did manage to set up files for 2015 and still need to file some papers for this year. We also found numerous tax documents that the CPA needed that were missing. We sorted through 3 black garbage bags of papers, one banker box full of papers, two filing cabinet drawers, and a stack of papers from the dining room table. Unfortunately papers take a long time to sort and the end result is not as rewarding as cleaning out a closet. We sorted the papers by year and separated out any tax documents that she may need for the CPA. In the end everything is ready to tally up the totals by year for the CPA. I'm happy to return to complete the filing system and not charge for the travel fee. I would also be happy to bring some of my own files to complete the system."
When we started she asked me where I would like to start. I said I could not work IN the OFFICE, so we hauled everything, bit by bit, into the dining room. I'm sure she was biting her tongue as we filled maybe 30 or more tripled paper bags with unnecessary paper. She shredded what was required.
Debbi set up an IMMEDIATE FILE which stays on my desk for daily perusal. I'm still trying to get my personal paper habits to be more predictable, but it will come. Debbi and I would have brief personal chats during our work, which is really nice for me. We had hot tea occasionally. Debbi hung a large painting in the dining room for me. When I cancelled an appointment, Debbi was gracious and positive.
This has to be said: She is small, but extremely strong - hauling boxes to the attic, up & down, over and over. Also Debbi can work very fast or slow down and re-explain if I look confused or ask a question.
Over the last 30 years I have always prepared and organized the tax papers for the accountant. In the last 10 years, my record has been very spotty. NOW, Debbi set up a simple way to keep up with medical appointments, payments by two insurance companies, and what my out of pocket expenses total. Debbi devised a system in one spiral notebook which records all medical claims, including Provider, Date of
Visit, Payments by each insurance company, my out of pocket expenses, AND the travel distance in miles to and from the visit. This same spiral notebook has medical premiums, donations, interest paid on mortgage, IRA contributions or withdrawals, and federal and state refunds from previous years. Plus she included my income. So it is all there. I have the supporting documentation which is filed with the notebook in Taxes. I have had very difficult time with taxes in the past. What a relief. Plus I have a delightful office for work.
It will be so much easier when tax time comes again.
"Bobbi is a complete joy to work with and has a great sense of humor. Our sessions together have been very productive as she is willing to let go of papers. After coaching her to find what system works best for her, we were able to set it up and start filing! Yep, there were probably about 40 boxes of mail as Bobbi already stated and we got through them all! We're now practicing routines to stay on top of the incoming mail so it doesn't get backed up again. Thanks Bobbi for allowing me to continue to work with you until we get it right."
"Member's house was a joy to unpack because of the extra space she gained in this new home. The kitchen had so many cupboards and the upstairs had an amazing amount of book shelf space....lots of room to show off mementos! Enjoy your beautiful, new home Member!"
