Case Study 03 Review

We have been very happy and relieved to be working with Carrie and Emma at Sapphire8. As small business owners, it's such a relief to have someone friendly and trustworthy to take care of the finances so we can focus on doing what we're good at. They really took the time to understand our mission and Carrie has been brilliantly patient and clear in helping us understand the details and implications. We have already recommended Sapphire8 to other businesses, who have also been delighted with their work!"
