What Harvest AMS's clients
say:
"Since
Vada began working for the Northern California
Regional Land Trust (NCRLT) in April 2006, we’ve
grown from one part-time staff to three full-time
staff. During this incredible period of growth,
Vada has been instrumental in helping us develop
and implement the accounting and financial systems
necessary to keep up. She has made our accounting
processes in QuickBooks more orderly,
understandable, accurate and streamlined. She
always manages to get us back on track whenever
necessary and offers constructive input when
improvement is necessary. Vada is also a very
gifted teacher and has assisted our board in
understanding their fiduciary responsibilities and
staff in setting up and managing grants, state and
federal tax reports, monthly financial reports and
overall assistance with general accounting
operations. She is always willing to help on
short notice, has a wonderful attitude and sharp
wit, and works well with everyone she has come in
contact with at NCRLT. We consider Vada a vital
member of the team and would recommend her
services without hesitation."

"I was
reflecting on the magnitude of
changes we’ve been able to implement during the
past two years re: our internal financial systems,
development of relevant tools for our financial
committee and board members, implementation of
systems to evaluate external financial advisors,
overall organizational planning techniques, etc.
Essentially, with your expertise
and guidance, we have revamped, rebooted, or
recreated every facet of the
Foundation’s
financial systems and practices.
When I asked you to join our team,
I shared with you my belief that the community
foundation’s primary role is as a steward. We are
not only stewards of goodwill, collaboration and
leadership - we are literally stewards of our
community members’ resources. To accomplish this
with the utmost integrity and efficiency it is
imperative that our back office (systems, process
and planning) is in place. You took the
challenge. Thank you!"
