TESTIMONIALS
"Vada Bouffard has
assisted Shasta Women's Refuge on numerous occasions over the past
years. During a personnel change, Vada stepped in to help on a
contract, short-term basis with grant administration and billing,
budget development and reconciliation, production of monthly financial
reports for the Board of Directors and assisted with the annual audit
to name a few. Ms. Bouffard hit the deck running.
She quickly identified system weak spots and put procedures in place to
ensure accuracy and efficiency. Her work was always timely and
accurate, and she assisted in the recruitment and hiring of our Staff
Controller. She is a self starter and extremely knowledgeable. She
works well with a variety of personalities. Her assistance was
invaluable to us."
"Since Vada began working for
the Northern California Regional Land Trust (NCRLT) we’ve grown from
one part-time staff to three full-time staff. During this 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."

"Contracted by the
Jesus Center, Vada Bouffard revamped our accounting system, made astute
recommendations, pointed out missing legal requirements, simplified our
chart of accounts in QuickBooks, and gave me the big picture
on financial analysis. What was especially helpful was advice on budget
preparation and analysis and how to align personnel requirements with
overall strategic planning. Vada's personal warmth and zest for her
work made the learning experience for me very enjoyable."
"As a new local non-profit it was clear to us that
if we were going to correctly manage organizational growth, we first
needed to create a sound internal financial infrastructure.
Recommended to us from our local partner, Sierra Health Foundation,
Vada used her expertise, guidance and patience to help us completely
reorganize and reconstruct our financial systems. With her help I am
positive that we have the tools in place to manage our fiscal
responsibilities correctly and efficiently now and into the
foreseeable future. Thanks Vada!"

"Vada incorporated all our information, figured out
what exactly we would need as far as what the program could provide and
incorporated the program into two computers – the Treasurer’s and the
Membership volunteer’s computer. Amazingly everything went smoothly. I
have worked in companies where switching over to new software takes
months to get the kinks out but there were no kinks here. It was a
wonderful surprise.
In the following year or two whenever there are
updates to the software and a glitch occurs on one of the two
computers, Vada is always just an email or call away for help. She is
always willing to help us out in a jam and does it with professionalism
and a real willingness to see us through the next phase of updates."

"Vada
has proven to be of invaluable assistance in taking my team and me to
the next level in our real estate business. Her guidance in navigating
QuickBooks and actually using and understanding the information
provided therein has helped us to gain a clearer picture of our
financial status at any given time and -- more importantly -- budget
for
the future. I highly recommend the services of HarvestAMS."
