MH Consulting & Bookkeeping Group

Mike was a huge help when I was starting my business and continues to be a great resource for me. Every time I left his office I felt better about my knowledge of Quickbooks and keeping a good accounting record for my company. What started off as a quick consulting session to learn quickbooks ended up as several sessions to set up my entire books and I decided to hire him to continue my bookkeeping on a monthly basis. Mike was knowledgeable, trustworthy, friendly and supportive. I would recommend him to any new business owner. Also, his wife makes a pretty amazing hot cocoa!

Mike did a great job in helping me set up the books for my company. Knowledgable and very responsive, he made the experience quite painless.
I highly recommend him for your bookkeeping work.

Mike H. and Matt K. have been a huge help with our business. When I first met with Mike, I explained that we needed a company that could to take over a bunch of the financial work for me, be proactive in reminding me to stay on the things I need to stay on, and make recommendations for how we can learn from Quickbooks and use it to improve my business. Mike understood my needs exactly and Matt K. worked with me one-​on-​one to implement everything. A couple of his recommendations have been complete life-​changers for me.
I recommend them without reservation — nobody else has come close.

I have been working with Mike and his team for the past year. He has streamlined by ability to get up to date reports about my business, my clients and my vendors. He has set up comprehensive training for my staff as it relates to our Quicken needs and he is always ready to help if a problem arises… sometimes staying late to do it! I can’t say enough about the service and quality of service he provides. He really knows his stuff! So I don’t have to…

Mike and Matt are both great. Mike is there if I need to reach out, but Matt does most of my books. Matt has been fantastic – professional, organized, helpful, and all with a good sense of humor. I’m really happy and wish I had written a review sooner.

Mike Hecker is extremely competent in performing his promises. He says what he will do and he does it. He is fair and trustworthy as are all those I know that work in his organization. I highly recommend MH!

I highly recommend Mike and team for professional, courteous and timely handling of your requirements.
Due to a divorce I needed quick, timely and accurate delivery of personal financial data for my case.
Not only did Mike exceed my expectations — his analysis discovered fraudulent use of a charge card saving me a large sum that somehow I had not detected.
We won our case and Mike played a major role. Thank you Mike…

We own American Tree Experts in Petaluma. While we are experts in all things tree related, we struggle with Quickbooks and accounting questions. We have been working with Mike Hecker from MH Consulting over the past year and he is terrific! Mike is patient and is helping us to have a launching pad of clarity on how to reconcile and categorize our books. Mike’s support and knowledge are invaluable. We highly recommend his services and will continue to utilize his talents.

Frustrated with Quickbooks for Mac? Who isn’t? Mike Hecker.
Mike is patient, knowledgable, professional and personable.

sense of your world with numbers, spreadsheets and charts.
He will translate your pile of information into organized data that
your business partners and the government will respect.

It doesn’t get better than Mike for book keeping. I am a business owner who does not enjoy that side of my business, to say the least. I was actually pretty overwhelmed by all of it. Mike was recommended to me and I decided to talk to him about handling my book keeping. I was immediately put at ease. He is so calming and you just know you’re working with the best. He got my books together so easily, it was like magic. He’s always very on top of everything and extremely accurate and thorough. If you want to work with the absolute best, call Mike. You will never regret that decision. OH! I almost forgot the MOST important thing. Working with Mike made me realize how much money is outstanding that I need to follow up on once my books were together. Working with Mike helped me MAKE money. Thank you Mike!

I recently started a travel agency and have been attempting to get Quickbooks up and running to support the financial recordkeeping. I am a retired banker. I understand debits and credits better than most. Despite reading a tutorial I made a mess of it :-) I found Mike Hecker and he fixed everything and got me into a position to make correct entries, understand reports and generally take care of business. He is clear, concise and a good listener. I highly recommend Mike for whatever bookkeeping need your business might have.

I’m on the Operations Committee of a Bay Area Non-​Profit and the President asked me to share this review of MH Consulting & Bookkeeping on Unilocal since he does not have a Unilocal Account:
«MH Consulting & Bookkeeping has been a complete game-​changer for us.
They are one of the most critical and powerful supports to our organization and to me as an executive. Mike Hecker is so tremendously generous with his varied talents that it is hard to concisely summarize exactly why he has been so important but I will include a few highlights below.
Early on, Mike brought his signature calm and rigorous analysis to our work and helped identify paths forward in a number of strategic ways, and he connected me with brilliant people in his network that extended his impact even further. Without hesitation, Mike naturally and wholeheartedly seeks to help everyone around him.
As a bookkeeper, Mike quickly turned an important business area that was a source of stress into one in which I now have a deep sense of security around.
Mike has also put together a great team around him. Since we started working with MH Consulting & Bookkeeping, Matt Kernan has been a phenomenal bookkeeper for us. His attentiveness and dedication to doing an excellent job every time is paired with a genuine warmth and consistently positive attitude.
Both Matt and Mike provide patient and skilled explanations of questions that come up around our finances and bookkeeping, and I constantly learn from them as they support our work.
I feel very fortunate to have the support of MH Consulting & Bookkeeping!»

Meeting with Mike Hecker was such a pleasant experience. Mike is easy to work with, speaks our language and gave us the advice and support we were looking for setting up our QuickBooks.
As a brand new start-​up company we had no idea the amount of back office management we would need. So, before we found ourselves swamped and overwhelmed, we contacted MH Consulting and Bookkeeping Group, Inc. Mike quickly reviewed our set-​up, made a few adjustments, and advised how to manage our day-​to-​day records. He is efficient, friendly and professional. But most of all, Mike made us feel comfortable and appreciated.
Thanks, Mike. It’s going to great having you on the team!

MH Consulting & Bookkeeping has made such a difference in the way that I look at my business. I was daunted by the task of setting up and keeping my books on a regular basis while running the day-​to-​day of my business. Thanks to Debbie and Mike I get to focus on what I do best– plan major milestone events for my clients.
They were patient, professional and prompt with everything and I feel so at ease knowing that they are keeping me on track.

Mike did an excellent job teaching us about how to use quickbooks — we intend for now to do the up-​keep ourselves and he gave us the tools and knowledge to run the system ourselves. He is patient, has great follow-​up and is very friendly and professional!

As a business strategy consultant, I’ve worked with a number of bookkeepers over the years. MH Consulting and Bookkeeping is one of the best bookkeeping firms I’ve ever encountered. Mike and his Team are incredibly knowledgeable, detail oriented and accurate.
However, what truly sets MH apart is the firm’s understanding of small business. Most bookkeepers just prepare the books for taxes with little to no understanding of the client’s business. MH goes far beyond that. Mike and his Team truly care about their clients’ businesses, take the time to understand their clients’ goals and then present financial information in meaningful ways. This approach allows their clients to actually use their financial information to make informed business decisions.
I’ve worked with MH on mutual clients and used them for my own business. I highly recommend MH Consulting and Bookkeeping!

Mike has done a great job straightening out our books after years of poor management by less gifted bookkeepers. Unlike many of the bookkeepers we used in the past, Mike is very gracious and always pleasant to work with. Highly recommended.

First, I don’t want to write this review and tell everyone our secret weapon! Mike and his team are amazing! He helped our law firm solve problems we didn’t even know we had! Mike has helped us get on track, and into the year 2013, painlessly! He is able to take on rush jobs and get the information our clients need with amazing accuracy and speed. You know he’s good when I can hand him a box of «misc financial docs» and he comes back with a fabulous spreadsheet with exactly the info we needed! I honestly don’t know how we functioned without him all these years!

There is not a bookkeeping question Mike cannot answer. It’s obvious Mike spent plenty of time studying bookkeeping and knows it inside and out. The most difficult part was getting me to gt him my paper work! Once he had it, things get done fast and accurate! Thanks mike.

Mike is my bookkeeper for my small business. He is AMAZING! I was reluctant to spend the money on a bookkeeper until I found Mike. My only regret is not hiring Mike sooner. What took me hours takes Mike minutes. Not to mention, I never could quite figure out Quickbooks myself.

THE BEST…
I’ve used/​known Mike for years.
I run a busy and growing automotive shop and Mike helped me to make sense of my books and helped setup/​train the staff on proper Quickbooks usage.
He gave me some direction on where i should go with my biz. model and helped me streamline my record keeping.
He has saved me time, money and stress.
A pleasure to work with.
Thanks, Mike.

Mike is an absolute life-​saver! He has been working with me and doing our books for a year now. He came in and completely organized my Quickbooks system and made it make sense to me. He has even walked me through things on Quickbooks that I didn’t know how to do, step-​by-​step, over the phone.
Not only is he a great bookkeeper, he also has a great mind for business and has helped guide our business in the right direction.
Mike is very attentive to detail, professional and a pleasure to work with. I would very highly recommend him for any bookkeeping needs! I don’t know what I would do without him.
Thanks Mike!
