It's been a year, and we could not be any more happy with the service Cruise & Associates has provided. Heather and Tasha are and have always been knowledgeable, patient, and always very responsive to payroll needs or any questions or concern we may have. All the staff has been very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend this firm for any accounting needs.
