Safe Nest: Temporary Assistance for Domestic Crisis
My experience with HRC has been exceptional. I’ve worked in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors and also internationally in Europe, and during my time I have worked with several CPA firms. My experience with HRC has been exceptionally positive. Their professionalism, technical expertise, responsiveness, and availability to me as their client has exceeded my expectations and been over and beyond what I have experienced with most other CPA firms. I can confidently say that HRC will provide service and expertise that will add value to you and your company.
Our Association has worked with HRC for many years now. They have given us exceptional service each and every year we have been with them. They have helped us navigate some rough times as well as the good. I personally enjoy working with our HRC team and have the utmost confidence in them. I would recommend them to any association for all their accounting needs.

Integrity and efficiency are the reasons our non-profit, Dazzle Africa, has been with Houldsworth, Russo & Company since 2013. They care about their clients and work to provide exceptional services.
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.
HRC demonstrates year after year its commitment to service at every level. From audit to tax, they have an incredibly qualified team that keeps us up to date on the latest changes, guides and provides feedback whenever we request it, and has the highest standards in their work.
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.
Houldsworth, Russo and Company has always provided remarkable service to our organization. We have found the team at HRC is always extremely professional and knowledgeable. From the ease of working with their audit team, to their ongoing impeccable customer service, we have never been disappointed.
Lynn, Jessica and the entire HRC team are the absolute best. They care about their client. Their quality of work is excellent, and their level of dedication is unmatched. Needless to say, they are exceptional.
Houldsworth, Russo & Company has been a long time professional partner with our school. The audit and tax staff are well informed, available to answer our questions clearly and promptly, and regularly share information on upcoming issues potentially affecting our industry. Our annual audits are well-planned and carried out with efficiency and coordination needed to meet our timelines. We value both the consistency in audit field personnel who understand our organization and varying audit review personnel who give a new set of eyes to our audit and opportunity for improvement. As an added value, HRC offers a variety of educational opportunities for non-profit clients. We love the free seminars provided on a variety of topics affecting accounting procedures / reporting and general business. They are always timely and informative.
Houldsworth, Russo & Company has been the perfect firm for us and Lynn has been an amazing addition to our work family! They are extremely knowledgeable and have provided us with excellent customer service. They have consistently filed our returns timely and accurately, while also giving us helpful advice along the way. It is amazing to have a partner like Lynn that helps us sleep easy as we grow.
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.
HRC is an invaluable partner for the Henderson Chamber of Commerce. They have an acute understanding of the accounting rules and regulations governing our 501c(3) and 501c(6) organizations, and I routinely consult with them on a wide array of pertinent items. I have well-placed confidence in their guidance.
The Houldsworth Russo team have taken the time to know HELP of Southern Nevada and its programs. They are very thorough, fair and timely. Their support with reporting requirements for our government funded programs has been invaluable; and they continually propose solutions and sound business advice for HELP to maintain its status as a premier agency in Southern Nevada.
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.
The Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM), with more than 170 member companies in 22 countries, has relied on timely assistance, accurate reports and dependable service from Houldsworth, Russo & Company for nearly 20 years.
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.
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.
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.
