Chesapeake Bay Bookkeeping & Accounting Services 1304 West Ocean View Avenue, Norfolk, VA 23503

"I have to say that Laura Bazemore is AMAZING!! I do not have an accounting/bookkeeping background so making sure that I am doing the correct steps in keeping our business organized is my highest priority. Laura has been patient, guiding and supportive through all my mistakes and growth as I become a strong foundation of our business. It would have been easy just to hand over the reigns and have her manage everything however I want to learn and be the asset inside of the office and it was great for her to respect that and support that decision. It was very intimidating to have someone come in and critique the way that you do things as well as take the constructive feedback of what you were doing wrong. Laura was kind in her approach and patient with my learning style. We shared laughs as we talked through my problems and concerns about the every day responsibilities. I can honestly say that without her that our company would be facing some troubles. She is truly a professional with an enormous level of intelligence. In a noticeably short time, she has taught me a tremendous amount and the everyday tasks get easier from her tips and expertise. I am thankful that I will continue to build a working relationship with her and have her “peeking” in on how things are going and to keep me track if she notices something that is off. Everyone should take advantage of working with Laura and Chesapeake Bay Bookkeeping and Accounting services. You will be happy that you did."

"Due to unforeseen personal circumstances and an accountant who didn’t take much interest in us; we ended up buried in a mountain of tax issues, business classification issues, etc. It didn’t happen overnight (it took three years), and we knew it would not be an easy task, if even possible, to get things under control without a true professional. We are fortunate to have the best payroll rep ever who made the recommendation of hiring a bookkeeper. He told us he knew just the right one. What we didn’t expect was… (drum roll!) Laura! Laura is extremely personable and professional at the same time. She is knowledgeable and always willing to give advice. This is what we needed. Her commitment to providing excellent service is unsurpassed. We especially appreciate her communication skills. She is very responsive and always looking for ways to help make life easier. It’s nice to be relieved of the stress that the finances were causing us and the monumental task of learning independently, which was putting us further behind. Having someone in our corner, someone we can trust, and someone who has our best interest at heart is the most important factor(s) in building a lasting and strong business relationship with someone. Laura meets all these and then some. Sometimes we feel as though we have known her forever and feel as though she’s a long-time personal friend when, in fact, our introduction was only months ago. Chesapeake Bay Bookkeeping & Accounting Services is a prime example of how businesses should operate. If you are in search of bookkeeping services and you haven’t hired Laura; you’re missing out."

"Laura is amazing! She gives me more time to do the things that moves our business forward. I honestly regret not hiring her earlier."

"The service and customer performance is one of an extremely professional level in that I presented my small business's receipts, documents and statements that were so complicated that I had doubts that anyone would be able to solve these complex figures. This company rose above my expectations and solved my accounting problems in a timely, professional manner , and the prices were more than fair. It is my opinion as a business owner, that I would highly recommend Chesapeake Bay Bookkeeping to others without hesitation."
