Stacy James | Executive Director | Dazzle Africa

After 50 years in business in another state, when I became a resident of Nevada, I wanted to establish a new local accounting relationship. I feel fortunate to have selected HRC. The firm is technically very competent and has a deep bench of qualified personnel. They also recognize that each client is different and may not fit a cookie cutter methodology.

I am pleased to offer this recommendation of Houldsworth, Russo & Company (HRC) to your firm.

My relationship with HRC began several years ago, after growing frustrated with my previous accounting firm. In need of a change, I turned to Lynn and her quality staff to handle my tax returns and provide me with a comprehensive review of my business activities. From my initial meeting, I was impressed with their professionalism and their willingness to be available to address any questions, offer substantive and meaningful insight and knowledge of my tax and accounting needs for my small business.

As my business grew into one of the largest lobbying firms in Nevada, HRC has provided me with critical assistance — from advising me on my tax liabilities in key situations, to allowing me to use more technology to operate more effectively and efficiently in managing my business. Most importantly, Lynn and her staff have made themselves available to me at any time of the day — morning, noon or evening — which is critical for me as a business owner. Much like my business relies on good, quality customer service — to include prompt and timely contact to my customers concerns— Lynn stays on top of all of my issues, responds to any of my requests no matter how big or small it may be. HRC provides me with top notch quality accounting services that I need to stay atop my profession.

I would strongly recommend Lynn and her team to anyone looking for strong, solid and terrific representation in the accounting world in Southern Nevada.

Nicole Render-Jones | Operations Coordinator | Production Theory | Motley Brews Inc.

Absolutely amazing to work with. I started my company 1.5 Years ago and the bookkeeping after year one was a nightmare. I made a resolution that year 2 everything would be clean and organized, but I had no idea how to make that happen. Finding Elizabeth was an absolute blessing. She came to my office, discussed my business, and setup Quickbooks the RIGHT way. Then, she helped me get everything organized and on track. She taught me how to do everything on my own from customer set up and invoicing to deposits, reconciliations and reporting. She took a daunting task that I often put off and made it easy, accessible, and an invaluable tool. Every month she comes by the office to help me reconcile, report, and plan for the next month / quarter. The information she has armed me with has made me a better business person. I am able to make informed decisions and plan for growth. I cannot recommend her enough

Where to start about HRC? Jessica Sayles and her team are amazing people. Our experience with HRC is always approached with the utmost care, completely hands on. The compassion and sincerity we experience from Jessica and her team lets us know we are in exceptional hands. HRC completely and intimately has taken the time to “learn” us and know what is best for our company! Jessica and her staff have been by our side, guiding us, as our company has grown and have helped us through some very complicated accounting projects. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with many accounting firms in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors, but HRC is by far the best. As a Health Care Professional, Executive Director and business owner within the community for over 35 years, I don’t take authoring these types of recommendations lightly. If you are considering HRC, have trust and confidence in the fact that both Jessica and her team of amazing accountants will do everything possible to change your lives for the best.

Armena Mkhitaryan, MPA | Executive Director | Lutheran Social Services of Nevada

My company has been a client of Houldsworth, Russo & Company (HRC) since June of 2017. Over this past 28 months HRC has been able to correct some very difficult corporate structure challenges my company had due the recommendations I followed from my previous two CPA firms. In addition, HRC’s discipline in the area of regulatory compliance has saved my firm a great deal of time, money and frustration. The services they provide my very small business go well beyond Federal and State regulatory compliance and they have worked tirelessly in the areas of bookkeeping and accounting to allow me to focus on my professional skills, which are not accounting and regulatory compliance. I have been running a small business since 1983 and moved to Nevada in 2012. It took me 5 years to find HRC. It took HRC investing a great deal of time, money and professional acumen to correct the actions of my previous CPA firm. Now I am 100% complaint and confident that my company is structed correctly to comply with Federal and State laws and mitigate any future tax liabilities and penalties. I highly recommend HRC and believe they are the best CPA in the Las Vegas Valley.

Timothy S. McFadden | Magnum Enterprises

Reliable, responsive, professional, and customer-focused are just a few of the many positive words I’d use to describe HRC. Their team goes above and beyond in every interaction, and they have helped set up systems that strengthen my small business and make me more efficient. Whenever the opportunity arises, I refer them to others because everyone deserves the quality of service HRC delivers.

Stacey Wedding | Professionals in Philanthropy

After two years of working with Houldsworth, Russo & Company, I feel assured that we made the right decision in retaining them as our audit firm and plan to continue working with them for years to come. Their staff members are extremely knowledgeable, communicative, and supportive. I trust HRC’s input and guidance, and they have been immensely helpful as we’ve redeveloped some of our internal control processes that needed to be updated. As a nonprofit agency, we feel confident utilizing HRC for our audit due to their expertise in the nonprofit accounting field that is unmatched in our community. Also, compared to other audit firms we’ve worked with, we pay less for our annual audit costs and get much more value for that cost with HRC.
