I don't leave reviews often, but Garrett Loughman at ADL Business Consulting is someone every business owner needs to know about. I came to Garrett in one of the most stressful situations I've faced as a business owner. My longtime accountant had passed away unexpectedly, and I was left with almost no prior year documentation and essentially no books in place, with my tax extension deadline closing in fast. I honestly didn't know if I was going to be able to get my return filed on time. Garrett stepped in and took complete ownership of the situation. He went through every piece of documentation I had, then rebuilt my books entirely from scratch. Work that would have taken most people weeks, he turned around with precision and care. He answered every question I had, made sure I understood what I was signing, and made me feel completely comfortable with the first return I would file under his firm. He didn't just get me out of a crisis. He made sure I actually understood my own business's finances. Knowing everything is being handled properly gives me a peace of mind I didn't have before. If you're a business owner who needs someone truly in your corner, look no further.

I spent thirty years in finance. I know how to close books. But when you're retired, with grandkids to visit and trips to plan, the last thing you want is nine entities sitting in the back of your head. That was my situation. Five LLCs, two partnerships, two trusts. I'd put the bookkeeping off for a month, then two, and eventually it would pile up and I'd lose a week grinding through it right before a deadline. I knew how to do it. I just didn't want to anymore. A friend suggested Garrett at ADL. Handing this kind of work off to someone else isn't straightforward when you've spent your career being the one who does it. You have a standard, and you want to know the person on the other end actually understands what they're looking at. Garrett does. He got up to speed on all nine entities quickly, asked the right questions, and took it from there without a lot of back and forth. I haven't thought about my books in months. That's the whole point. Five stars, without hesitation. If you're looking for someone who is sharp, organized, and will actually take things off your plate, Garrett at ADL is your person. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Completely transformed my business — I can't recommend ADL enough. Before working with ADL Business Consulting, I was running Excel Cleaning as a sole proprietor, doing everything manually and honestly just hoping for the best when tax season rolled around. I had no real back office, no structure, and no idea how much it was costing me. ADL Business Consulting changed all of that. The owner walked me through the real benefits of forming an LLC, including liability protection, tax flexibility, and credibility with clients, and then coordinated directly with my attorneys to make it happen. From there, it snowballed in the best way. The owner helped me redesign my logo and branding, overhauled my entire accounting process, and set me up with a new payroll provider that saves me money while giving me more services than I had before. What really sets ADL apart is how thorough they are. The owner handles my monthly bookkeeping, tracks my federal, state, and local tax obligations so I'm never caught off guard with a big tax bill, and even remits my sales taxes for me every month. The owner built out over two dozen operational templates that have made running the day-to-day so much smoother. And they are always looking for ways to cut costs without cutting corners, finding savings I never would have noticed on my own. In addition, ADL took the time to actually educate me on personal finance and how to use my business strategically for tax savings. I feel like I finally understand my own finances. If you're a small business owner who feels like you're just figuring it out as you go, ADL Business Consulting is exactly who you need in your corner. The owner didn't just direct me; he entirely transformed the way I operate. — Excel Cleaning, LLC
