    BOOKKEEPER & BILLING MANAGER

    Mighty Citizen

    ".Arielle is organized, communicative, proactive, efficient, and a pleasure to work with.

    Arielle asks questions to make sure she understands what needs to be done and why, and if she sees ways to improve a process she will not only make suggestions but is also willing to help put changes into place and document it all as she goes for future knowledge sharing, which is so valuable."

    Direct Supervisor, Mighty Citizen

    BOOKKEEPING & PAYROLL

    Bistro Casanova

    "I hired Arielle Axelrod as a bookkeeper at Bistro Casanova in June 2020, at the reopening of service after several weeks of virtual stop of all activities and at the beginning of a complicated transfer of our payroll system to an outside service. She fit right in. Her introduction to the business was remarkably fast and she started improving our old school bookkeeping system from day one. She is competent, precise, always mindful of details, and ahead of the game in our relationship with the outside Payroll Service. She is also very fast, testing my ability to cope with her technological skills, to the point that I stopped trying to. Very refreshing to wonder how she can accomplish all her responsibilities in such a short "billable" time. An asset to my business and a definite improvement of my quality of life."

    BOOKKEEPING

    "Arielle is an AMAZING focused and patient human who knows bookkeeping and QB, Product Inventory, solution solving, finds answers quickly, great communication, and respectful. She took my office the past 2 years and turned it into a more professional, organized steam line health practice. My Admins really enjoy working with her too. Arielle teaches both my girls so much each month as she gathers what is needed to reconcile my monthly statements. We here at MHGC have grown into a more professional back-office business because of our Office Angel Arielle. Thank you Arielle for making a huge difference in our business."
