WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Gene, CEO

I know it sounds corny, but having EA as my financial partner allowed me to focus on growing my business and servicing my customers. I have found Stephanie and her staff to be hard-working and ethical professionals

Andrew, COO

We had some complex reporting that needed some automation. EA was able to not only figure out the reporting but also revamp it so each month we just had copy and paste in the starting data. It has saved us 5 hours a month!
