"I was contacted by Rachel a few minutes after I posted a request on Thumbtack. She is very responsive and set up an appointment on a Saturday for a free hour-long consultation. Rachel answered most of my questions on tax-related issues and gave a lot of useful advice on overall personal finance planning. A very efficient and knowledgeable financial professional — I look forward to working with her."

"Rachel and her team are incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and engaging. We interviewed several CPAs, and Carlsen Financial was a pleasant find. During our initial meeting, they took the time to understand our current tax situation and helped us develop a strategy for future growth. They took a multifaceted approach to our business goals — walking us through all available tax, accounting, legal, and investment options. Within 30 days, they had set up our business entity, configured our accounting software, and started managing our bookkeeping. We consider Rachel and her team true partners in business and look forward to a long and seasoned partnership."

"Rachel and her staff were incredibly knowledgeable and proficient at assessing our tax problems, strategically developing a resolution plan, and executing a very complex plan of action with efficiency and accuracy. We had searched for many months to find the right CPA to manage our tax and accounting needs. After our initial meeting, we instantly found their pleasant and personable demeanor along with a wealth of experience to be the best fit for us. Not only are they incredible tax strategists, but highly knowledgeable on new technologies, software, insurance, investments, and a myriad of other financial management processes. Their fees are competitive and their follow-through is impeccable. We highly recommend Carlsen Partners for any small to mid-sized company seeking exceptional tax and financial accounting services."

"I received a prompt professional response to my inquiry, listened to my needs and she sent a bookkeeper to my door within days. The bookkeeper is professional and friendly and just what I've been seeking!"

5 / 5

"Needed a bookkeeper for my law practice. Turns out Rachel is also a CPA. Two for the price of one! The resulting advice is much deeper than one would get with just a bookkeeper."

"I was provided with bookkeeping services. The staff was very professional and efficient."

"IMPACT! That's the best way to explain the benefit of working with Rachel — she has a huge impact on business and personal finance. She's a CPA, CFO and all round advisor. Her knowledge is so wide that she can pull together all the previously separate elements of personal accounting, business planning, tax, life insurance, investments and more. Bottom line is that my life is easier and I'm financially better off through working with Rachel — a rare find."
