Working with Innovative Consulting was a dream. I feel so lucky to have had such an amazing experience using Bark right off the bat.
Shantel made the entire process of booking through follow up so easy. She is a true professional!
Shantel listened to my needs and tailored the session to best fit my current situation. You can tell her expertise scales far beyond bookkeeping to strategic financial business decision making, which is truly a gift. I've never felt more confident and at peace that my books are going to be okay.
Bookkeeping is very intimidating to me, and Shantel was infinitely patient and encouraging in this regard. She felt like someone I could trust immediately, and held space for me to better understand the subject matter. I have already booked follow up services with Shantel, and absolutely recommend working with Innovative Consulting. Thank you, Shantel!

What inspired you to start your own business?
I love helping people! Working a 9-5p didn't allow me to work with individuals from different walks of life and to have a further reach. Working remotely gives me that access AND I get to meet new people!
