As we approch the 4th Quarter, remember that CBS Bookkeeping specializes in bookkeeping cleanup. Basically, if you're a business owner and you have unorganized bookkeeping, we can help you clean it up and straighten things out so that a proper tax return can be filed.

In addition, we have recently started working with individuals who need help with their personal record keeping. We have clients both young and old who have hired us to help them set up a system where they can monitor "where their money goes."

About Lori

Lori Squires is the founder and president of Comprehensive Business Solutions.

Lori started her career as a credit investigator with a local bank. Based on her strong leadership and organizational skills, she quickly moved into management positions. To maintain her working knowledge of all things financial, Lori obtained her certificate in accounting in 1997 from Manchester Community College. She simultaneously began taking on clients in 1996 for her own business, “Lori’s Bookkeeping Services.”

In 2008, “Lori’s Bookkeeping Services” became Comprehensive Business Solutions. Over the years she has assisted a number of businesses throughout Connecticut. Her honest, thorough approach and detailed organization have given CBS a strong reputation within the local community of CPAs and various financial firms. In return, they consistently recommend her services, especially when ongoing clean-up and maintenance of books are needed.

Through her experience, Lori has learned that while small business owners can be extremely skilled and successful in their professional field, they are often not as adept at managing the financial, bookkeeping aspects of a business. Her personal goal is to “maintain your books while you maintain your business."
