Testimonials

"Debbie is far more than a highly skilled financial manager with a close eye for detail.  She's become a trusted strategic partner and extension of our team, providing timely advice and always going the extra mile to ensure we achieve our goals."  -- Bill Mueller, Chief Executive, Valley Vision

"Debbie is a great team player and was always a joy to have in the office. I could count on her to meet deadlines when asking for a financial report and ensuring that all paperwork was properly filed for our federal grants. I especially appreciated her flexibility and willingness to do whatever was best for the organization - even when it often created more work for her. She's a great asset for anyone to have on their team!"     -- Erin Stone, Former Executive Director, Relationship Skills Center

"When I opened my Performing Arts studio 29 years ago, I had no idea of the business side of running a studio.  I struggled for years to understand and keep up with changing technology, bookkeeping and payroll laws.  Then I found Sharpest Pencil, Inc.  At last, I am free to focus on what I love, to teach dance, knowing that my bookkeeping and payroll needs are in the best of hands with Debbie Aubert." -- Deirdre Hawkins, Hawkins School of Performing Arts, Folsom CA

"Debbie at The Sharpest Pencil does a phenomenal job for our Stand Up Paddleboard company.  She has been our bookkeeper for the last 2 years and things have never run smoother internally!  She is extremely responsive to all of our accounting needs and even assists with special projects.  We can’t say enough good things about her!" -- Scott Knorp, Partner, Glide Paddle Boards
