"Having Green & Seifter CPAs in our startup throes in 1997 was significant.  They suggested software and helped us set up systems, with tremendous patience all along the way.  We continue to turn to them for more than basic accounting and tax work.  For instance, they suggested someone who could help us out as a part-time financial support person and she's great. The bottom line is I sleep better at night."
