“Linda Hale continues to provide us with exceptional service. She knows the questions to ask right away and gets into fixing whatever we need. We consider Linda not only a great service provider but a friend. Her integrity and commitment to helping us is 100%. We switched from QuickBooks to Master Builder several years ago and the way she picked up on how to do things in our new system is simply amazing. We do everything remotely now because we all like to get away to Florida for the winter. It doesn’t matter where you are, anywhere, anytime, Linda has been there for us!”
Dave Sprenger, Owner & Treasurer Laurium Manor Inn
“I give Linda Hale my complete endorsement. I have worked with her since 2003 as the Treasurer of a nonprofit organization and then later as our bookkeeper for our hotel. She brought us through the process of forming a corporation and a limited liability corporation. In both instances, I have been thoroughly impressed with her knowledge of QuickBooks and accounting rules and have been very pleased with her accessibility. When she semi-retired, she reached out to us when we were searching for front desk help. We hired her as a seasonal employee. She helped us where our front desk POS system wasn’t doing what it could and fixed it. She typed up procedures for other front desk personnel and trained us. Linda became not only a business consultant but a friend. A special person we’ll want in our lives even when we retire..”
Wendy Sue Deerwester, Office Manager Northland Electric of Ontonagon County, Inc.
“I can only give a glowing testimonial to Linda Hale at Where People Count. She supported the company I manage before I was hired. When I took over as full-time office manager, I could not have done it without her. She taught me a lot about what I have to do and was very patient with me. I still rely on her for any questions or problems I might have. She does my year-end due to the fact that I could never do that task myself. If you are looking for a competent and down-to-earth person who wants to empower you, I would highly recommend Linda.”
Eric Wisti, General Manager Houghton Super 8
“We have been very impressed by Linda Hale’s ability to assist us with our monthly accounting needs. Her knowledge, patience and understanding have been extraordinary when training us on QuickBooks. Linda continues to help us on a monthly basis and whenever we request support. It is such a rare occurrence these days to not only find someone who has all the answers but who is also willing to help you. I would recommend Linda to anyone who is starting a business or has a business and wants to fine tune their financial system.”
Ben Halonen, Owner Halonen Landscaping & Everblades, Inc.
“I just converted my desktop QuickBooks to QBO in early 2022 and had garbage come across and I didn’t know where to start. Thank goodness for Linda and her knowledge to get me back on track. I added her as an outside accountant on my system so she can get access and do things I’d never be able to figure out on my own. She cleaned up my systems and continues to train and help me so I can build confidence back in my financial system. I look forward to having Linda join our team as an expert in her own field.”
Chad McIntyre, General Manager M&M Powersports
“Linda has been with us for several years. First to clean up our QuickBooks POS system that integrated with QuickBooks Desktop to then help us migrate to a more industry-specific POS system (DX1) that integrates with QuickBooks. She helped us through the conversion process step by step to ensure things were set up correctly. She continues to provide us with monthly review, financial statement prep, and year-end services.”
Trisia Narhi, Owner Copper Range Depot Restaurant
“We’ve known Linda for several years and her reputation in this community is superior. I knew I had to hire her when I purchased a new building and opened up our restaurant. We run CAKE as our POS system that integrates with QuickBooks desktop. She knew what needed to be done to ensure things were coming across properly and has trained me to keep up with the day to day. She not only meets the requirements of making sure I’m confident in my financial system, but she cares about how I’m doing, both professionally and personally. She truly lives by her business name of WherePeopleCount.”
