Customer Testimonials
What our clients say about us... These businesses have been gracious by providing written feedback to share their experiences. It has been a blessing to have the opportunity to be of service!
When we needed someone who had the knowledge and expertise on QuickBooks we contacted Debbie. Debbie helped get us on the right track; she is very patient and thorough to work with. Even to this day she is just a phone call away. Thanks Debbie.

If you have had the opportunity to spend time at the Venice Art Center, you have most likely met Debbie Cottingham of Suncoast Accounting Solutions. Debbie has been using her expertise in training staff, setting up new accounting systems and accounting controls. She also helped with the design and functionality of the new website and troubleshooting where she has been needed. She exudes knowledge, ingenuity and professionalism and is loved by the staff, Art Center members and the Board of Directors. For all she has done to further the Art Center, and for the knowledge and integrity she has brought to us, I send her my most sincere thanks and admiration. I would recommend her services both for individuals and businesses.

I have been very happy with all of the work you did for Scented Swan Soap & Candle Co.! The best decision I made was hiring you to set up an inventory system! There was so very much for you to set up as I was operating on a very basic level. It is great knowing EXACTLY what I have available at any given time without having to go and physically check! I do not have to work nearly as hard as I once did! I understand QuickBooks more than I ever did. You have given me a confidence I didn't have before. While you also gave me all of the tools I need to help me when I do not know the answer to something, I appreciate that I can email you with my questions anytime. This has been a wonderful learning experience for me and at the same time Scented Swan is set up in a most efficient manner!

"The QuickBooks power training class was just what I needed to fill in the blanks and get me on the right path to an in-depth knowledge of QuickBooks. Debbie Cottingham is an excellent instructor and put together a class that flowed very well and kept everyone's attention throughout. The class was made up of a very diverse group from beginners to experienced users of the program and yet Debbie kept it interesting and full of shortcuts and good tips for everyone. The student guide that everyone gets to take home is also packed full of tips and sample companies to practice with. Priceless! I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in gaining more knowledge about QuickBooks."

We contacted Debbie for assistance in the purchase and installation of the 2010 version of QuickBooks Pro. We found Debbie knowledgeable, timely, informative and responsive to our inquiries. I recommend her without reservation."

"When we purchased our company, a friend recommended Suncoast Accounting Solutions to help us with the initial start-up challenges regarding QuickBooks - I was completely unfamiliar with the QuickBooks software. It turns out that the call to Debbie was the best call I ever could have made. After the initial meeting with her, not only were we completely set up, but I was already working with many of the QuickBooks applications and felt completely confident doing so. Thanks Debbie!!"

I would love to give a reference on Debbie. My wife and I have known Debbie for years and she is one awesome lady. She has handled our business finances for four years and let me tell you she is phenomenal. Her accounting work is way above average and as far as getting things done in a timely matter, that is one thing you will never have to be concerned about. Debbie is always on top of her game and quite frankly there is NO ONE ELSE I WOULD TRUST WITH MY MONEY. She is always easy to reach whether it be by phone or email. There have been a many of times that because of my own hectic schedule that Debbie has over extended herself to get the job done. Another great quality is her knowledge on what she does. My wife recently starting helping me out with the business and Debbie has taught her so much, and trust me when I say that my wife always has lots of questions. What more can I say- Debbie Cottingham is all the way around the best choice for your accounting needs. Having someone involved in your finances is a VERY scary thing, but in all honesty- I have absolutely no problem handing mine over to Debbie and trusting in her 150%. Trust me, you will in no way be disappointed in her skills.

“Your QuickBooks Power Training Seminar was wonderful! Being totally new at Quick Books, I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of starting a new company and moving through each phase of business. Your teaching style was relaxing and enjoyable, while being very thorough. Thank you so much for your invaluable CD of the QB Student Guidebook. I'm planning on using the free 60 day trial of the QB Premier edition for my personal household account as you suggested. This will give me practice in QB to better prepare me for employment. QB is almost a prerequisite to apply for any job these days. I also appreciate your offer of additional help should I need it. Again, I enjoyed your class very much and it will be a pleasure to recommend your seminar to others. Oh, yes, the sandwiches and cookies were terrific!”

“The class was great. The class was everything an employer should be assured that the bookkeeper knows to use the program. Your presentation was clear and concise. Thanks for the handouts. The help CD is great. If you ever have a more advanced class, please let me know.
