Tami Havens – Temporary Accounting Services

Testimonial

 

“When our cost/staff accountant went out on maternity leave, our company was looking to bring in temporary help for coverage. After an extensive search, we turned to Tami Havens. Tami’s ability to quickly adapt to our unique cost accounting system, combined with her knowledge and experience enabled her to perform the needed job functions effectively without supervision. I could not have expected a more seamless transition.”

Does your company need help?

 

Whether its key personnel taking family or medical leave or just a really busy time of year, meeting the challenges of day-to-day business when you are short-staffed is… a challenge. Where do you find someone to fill in the gaps who doesn’t require a lot of training?  How can you be assured that quality workmanship will be delivered so that the flow of business is not interrupted? 

 

For your business, the answer is simple.  You need a professional with a lot of experience.  A person who can step in and do the work of a solid general accountant, cost accountant, accounts payable / receivable, or payroll pro.  Someone who is familiar with a variety of software packages and has a record of proven adaptability.
