Shor Solutions Testimonials

“If you have a business and need help setting up, managing, fixing or organizing your accounts on QuickBooks, I enthusiastically recommend Ben Shor of Shor Solutions. He is an absolute hero to me. Faced with the task of unraveling a restaurant’s account that had years of incorrect entries, it was Ben to the rescue! The company for which I took over property management in 2013 was a mess and a half. Ben helped resolve many issues and got everything organized and on track. A company I’ve been doing “QuickBooks” for since 2011, and thought was in good order, was much improved with Ben’s vast knowledge. Now I open QuickBooks and almost get ecstatic with happiness. Large or small, he can give you that ecstatic feeling too. Thanks Ben!”

“I was unbelievably stressed over Quickbooks. I had been on Quickbooks since 2010 and had spent hours and hours trying to adapt it to my unique needs. I wasn’t using the checking section at all and had difficulty pulling the right reports. Finally, I hired someone else to do it for me and she completely messed it up because she started entering through the checking register things I had already entered through sales receipts. Then she quit after three months and left me with a huge mess. I was so upset. Ben literally came to my rescue and showed me how to set up a system that made sense for me, how to enter and reconcile accounts and how to run reports. He did it all with grace and calm, no matter how upset and stressed I got, and was always happy to take my frantic phone calls and walk me thru whatever situation I had gotten myself into (I once deleted accounts that had already been reconciled). This took multiple visits by Ben for hours at a time, plus lots of homework on my part to fix the year’s entries. I am no accountant, but under Ben’s grace and guidance, I now feel confident with my QB skills and, even more important, that the input and reporting is accurate. I highly recommend Ben for anyone struggling with QB and accounting.”

“Ben helped my small business by making some administrative recommendations, setting up and then teaching me QuickBooks. In this capacity, Ben was facile in being able to transfer his wealth of knowledge to someone less adept at technology and financial administration. As a result of Ben’s help, I have been able to maintain my company’s administrative functions efficiently and quickly. He completely eliminated the burden aspect of keeping the business end of my operations up to date and in order. In addition, Ben is personable and patient.”

“This past fall we switched from MYOB to QuickBooks. Ben Shor came in to not only set up the program, but also to teach me to use it. Ben was a life saver for me. He literally sat beside me and went through all the bits and pieces, answering my questions, and giving me peace of mind. He has been available on the phone, and he has come to my aid in the office as well. Ben, thanks for your support and expertise. And to anyone out there who needs someone to put them right, Ben’s your man.”

“Preparing the monthly budget report was a nightmare. It was so complicated that it took two days of my time. I knew there must be a quicker way to get the information that I needed to prepare the budget. One of my staff told me about Ben Shor of Shor Solutions; so I called him up and asked him if he could help. He streamlined my Chart of Accounts, changed the account names to match the budget account names, and exported the data to my budget in an Excel format. That cut my budget preparation time by more than 50%. Ben promised me that he could accomplish this, and he sure delivered on his promise.”

“I operate several businesses. My books were a mix of Quicken and Excel records and a good deal of manual record keeping. Ben brought consistency and professionalism by streamlining my entire accounting system. He migrated all my records to QuickBooks, re-ordered my filing systems, and established reporting systems with my accountant. Transfers, payables, and receivables are tracked and executed on time and efficiently. Ben has afforded me a level of confidence I hadn’t enjoyed before.”

“It was great to have Ben teach me how to use QuickBooks. His quiet manner and in-depth knowledge of QuickBooks and general accounting principles made it easy to learn. Ben is always available to answer questions, is prompt and reliable. I have, and would, recommend Ben and Shor Solutions to anyone needing this service.”

“We at Crosspoint Solutions have had the pleasure of working with Ben Shor as our QuickBooks trainer and management consultant for the past year. Ben works with the utmost ease and professionalism, and is well organized in all that he does. We highly recommend Ben.”

“Ben Shor, of Shor Solutions, came into my businesses during a very challenging time: The dissolution of a business partnership and the loss of the CEO had left our financial records in disarray, projects incomplete, and HR support inadequate to our needs. Originally hired for his expertise in bookkeeping and QuickBooks in particular, Ben has proven invaluable in helping us get our ducks in a row and achieve project ends that were much better than anticipated. I have grown in a short year and a half to rely on his services and counsel, and cannot imagine where my businesses would be without his meticulous and timely intervention. I cannot recommend him more highly. Ben is a super business consultant who helped my small business through a big reorganization. He is a real gem: super-organized and professional w/o being annoyingly anal. Ben helped me to set-up and learn new systems that best supported my company’s needs, and we became more organized, more efficient– my staff is using QuickBooks 2007 to its full potential finally–as a result of his working with us. I cannot recommend Ben’s work more highly. Years later, I cannot even think of making a major business move without talking to Ben first to get his cogent insight and excellent advice. I will hire Ben again in the future for sure.”

“Ben has provided services to several of my clients and I have heard nothing but good things in response to his efforts. He has always shown to be professional and extremely proficient in all that he does.”

“It has been a pleasure working with Ben Shor these past couple of years. He has an excellent understanding of QuickBooks; and he has done a great job maintaining the accounting records. He has made my work as an accountant much easier.”

“Ben was required of his volunteer position on the Board of Directors of the Rondout Valley Business Association to train me as the new administrator of the organization. His primary role was to familiarize me with the existing QuickBooks records and answer any questions I had regarding keeping it updated. His instruction was clear, concise and demonstrated an integral understanding of how the program works. He was even able to suggest several short-cuts and easier ways of completing tasks within the program. His instruction was a great help to me and allowed my to be successful in my new role.”

“Ben was very patient, informative and easy to learn from. He was always available when I needed him for answers to questions and was capable of teaching at the level I required.”

“Ben was very helpful and patient as he helped us migrate to a completely new and different accounting system. We trusted him to get us up and going with a critical part of our business and he didn’t disappoint us. Thanks Ben!”

"I am very happy to work with Ben Shor. I hired him to clean up my books, and he demonstrated a keen understanding of my business, and has shown an interest in having me be able to manage my books on my own, and I know that he is always there to help me as needed. I would recommend him to any small business."

“Ben Shor (Shor Solutions) started working with us over 10 years ago, after we had gone through several bookkeepers of mid-low quality. Ben's company was hired to assist us with the books and the various related needs of the two corporations and one non-profit organization we managed at that time. Currently my husband and I operate a small general contracting company in New York State. With Ben's assistance we have grown this business, but more importantly, he helped us design and implement bookkeeping systems that enable us to track by job all attributable expenses so that we can pinpoint what type projects are profitable, and see, if not profitable, why not. As a small business owner for almost twenty years, I have been through it all and know how key having support such a Shor Solutions is, not only to our bottom line but to the quality of our lives. There is no substitute for peace of mind, Our experience was that there was no situation that Ben's logical and expert processes-- and kind demeanor --could not help us tackle, which kept our stress from getting out of control. Now that Shor Solutions has moved to Sedona AZ, we have been able to carry on utilizing the best practices he helped put in place and with the help of the recommended replacement he found for us. The replacement person is good but, in our experienced opinion, no one can replace Ben and Shor Solutions.”
