Herman Stephenson, Owner - M&G Insurance Services:
“I have known Jeri as a friend and as a client of mine for more than ten years. In that time I have been impressed with her sincerity, professionalism, and dedication to her clients. She always has their best interest at heart and strives for the highest level of service and satisfaction.”
Michael Cady, President - RedSeven Computer Company:
"Jeri is far from "just an accountant". She is a dedicated, tireless, supporter of our team who helps keeps us on-track. EGI has helped our fledgling firm blossom into a real contender, by letting us focus on what we do best - technology, not our bookkeeping... Thank You, Jeri!”
Ian Baldwin, Partner - Scottsdale's Green Day Spa :
"Jeri from Evans-Graff did my incorporation at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner. This gave me the time to deal with the companies that didn't do what they said they would."
Jamie Kahn, President - Four Peaks Planning, Inc.:
"I met Jeri shortly after starting my own estate planning practice. Being self-employed for the first time, I needed a resource that could both answer all my questions and inform me of areas needing attention. My tax needs are handled quickly without worry of them being incorrect.
Best of all, she is quick to reply when I email her questions. I have not hesitated in recommending her to my colleagues."
Andy Neynaber and Nanci Stone:
"It is at this time when we are preparing to file our 2004 taxes that we must thank you. You have saved our lives this year! We are so appreciative for your extraordinary service. Your attention to detail has not only raised our efficiency level, but we have peace of mind in knowing that nothing is slipping through the cracks. Everyone in your office exemplifies the high service standards you have obviously set for yourself. We would be happy to speak to anyone considering retaining your services. Thanks again for a job well done and allowing us to concentrate on selling!"
Gary R. Stickell, Attorney at Law, PC:
"I would recommend and frequently do recommend the services of Evans-Graff, Inc. to any small law firm or sole practitioner. I do so for several reasons:
1) The individually tailored services of EGI
2) The familiarity with the operations of law office accounting and banking practices, especially trust accounts
3) Posting and keeping billable
4) Outsourcing means less overhead expenses
I stress EGI's consistency in preparing montly billing - consistency as to quality and as to time of the month. As a sole practitioner, I have practice in the areas of Bankruptcy, Collections, Person Injury, Small Business Advice and Family Law for almost eighteen years. In the past, like I believe many attorneys, I was strictly a retainer based business. Hourly billings were minimized and prepared on my day-off and not always sent every month or the same time of the month.
Frankly, my hourly clients are happier receiving bills every month and at the same time each month. They can budget to pay me, while I in turn can budget to pay me. My tax obligations are paid when due. To give some context, I have used Evans-Graff, Inc. for the past four years for the following services:
1) Billing and time keeping
2) Bookkeeping / Accounting
3) Accounts payable
4) Staff leasing - Legal Assistant and Receptionist
5) Weekly Assistance with Case Management and Staff Tasking
6) Technology Assistance
The result is that I am freed to do the thing that I am trained to do: be a lawyer. I highly recommend the services of Evans-Graff, Inc."
Nancy A. Stewart, Attorney at Law, PC:
"It is with great pleasure that I write this letter recommending your services to other attorneys and businesses. I have been extremely pleased with your services and those of your staff over the past years.
I started my practice as a sole practitioner approximately three years ago. I had practiced law for ten years but always in a firm setting. I was not familiar with the details of how accounts payable, accounts receivable and, most important, cash flow management were appropriately managed to accommodate the responsibilities which I had to creditors, IRS and other entities.
In addition, I have a very busy practice and had difficulty managing my time so that I could do all of my legal work and the administration of my practice. The administrative aspects suffered as a result. I did not bill my clients following exhaustion of their retainers with the regularity that is required for proper cash flow management.
Since I began working with Evans-Graff, Inc., my practice has run much more smoothly. I am now, with your assistace, able to manage my cash flow and deal promptly with clients who are not keeping current with their payment obligations. Your services have allowed me to avoid situations wherein the client owes me a large sum of money and does not make an attempt to pay me.
The biggest relief for me is the billing service. I simply fax my time sheets to you and do not deal with anything else until it is time for me to review the draft bills. The data entry was so time comsuming prior to my retention of your services that I was forced to spend a lot of my personal time carrying out this task.
I was very concerned about my ability to pay for your services. You assured me that you would "pay for yourself" in that my cash flow would be adjust in order to allow for the payment of your services as well as other obligations which I had. I am happy to report that you were correct and that I no longer have such a concern. In fact, I do not now know how I could afford NOT to pay for your services. The feeling of relief which I have coupled with the extra personal time clearly make your services worth the additional cost. I cannot imagine going back to the old system.
Finally, I would like to say that I have enjoyed working with you personally. I have particularly enjoyed the calm attitude you exhibit in a "crisis". Your personality is perfectly suited for debt collection in that you manage to allow the clients to participate in a "win-win" situation while accomplishing the ultimate goal of the payment of their bills.
I am willing to speak with anyone who is considering retaining your services. I know the extent of the benefit I have realized and am willing to share this information with others."
Sharon A. O'Brien-Reyes, Attorney at Law:
"I have known Jerilyn Evans-Graff for over five years. For the past three years I have contracted with her to provide business management services for my law firm.
When Jerilyn first took my account, it was at a time when my partner had left due to disability. The firm's business records were not in great shape and we had a constant cash flow problem. Jerilyn was able to turn this around withing a few months by setting up an accounting and record control system that kept all records current. She also became a skilled collector. She has great people skills and shows a genuine concern for the clients' financial circumstances while still insisting that they pay what is owed.
Jerilyn has streamlined our systems to a degree that I had not experienced in the course of my career as a sole practitioner or small firm attorney. Our tax deposits are timely; payroll is regularly met and we have an ongoing management plan. We are now planning to upgrage and integrate our computers so that all client contacts are noted and available for appropriate staff review.
I highly recommend Jerilyn Evans-Graff and her LifeSkill's Business Management Services to any attorney or other professional who wants to appropriately manage his/her business at a reasonable cost."
Sam Moses, Owner - Moses Investments:

Arizona Paths, Owner:
"I began Dynamic Computer Systems, Inc. (dba The RedSeven Computer Co.) in 1997. And like most small startups, especially sole proprietorships, cash availability was one of the largest concerns. Any portion of business tasks that I could manage myself, I did -- In order to "save" money. What I didn't realize at the time was that while performing these administrative tasks at what might be described as a sub-par level, I was taking time away from the services that my company provides at a much higher level of professionalism.
Unfortunately, it took me almost five years to realize this. Once my company grew beyond my ability to keep up with payments, collect amounts due from customers, and all of the miscellaneous tasks in between; I had to force myself to give up performing those tasks.
After consulting with Jeri, I realized that the process would be virtually painless. I simply dumped the papers from my desk into a box and handed everything over. This is something I wish that I would have done five years sooner. I now run three businesses, all of which are handled by Evans-Graff, Inc., as well as my personal accounting.
It took a long time for me to learn the power of delegation and focusing my own energy on what I was best at so I could continue to grow my businesses and maximize my profit potential. Evans-Graff, Inc. has been there with me every step of the way. I am very thankful for all of the business advice and support I've received from Jeri, and would highly recommand EGI's services to anyone."
