The Chamber has used QuickBooks for nearly ten years and has been very pleased with the reporting and options the software offers. Marina came in and did a review of our usage and processes and made great recommendations to make the software even more valuable to us. Her extensive knowledge of every facet of QuickBooks is invaluable to any business either just setting up or a long-time user.

I formerly used Peachtree for my accounting software. I wanted to switch to QuickBooks, but was concerned that the change over to QuickBooks would be difficult, costly and possibly I would lose important business information. Marina selected the right software, installed it flawlessly and captured and converted the information from Peachtree to QuickBooks without a problem. She also was extremely accommodating, resulting in minimal disruption to our daily business operations.
Her accounting knowledge is also very helpful.
It was a pleasure working with her.

I have an iPhone and iPad, and really love them both. Since I wanted to keep all the same, I decided to buy a Mac computer. Marina Barreto prepared my Windows QuickBooks company file and converted it from my Windows operating system to Mac. She installed QuickBooks on my Mac and transferred my company file to my Mac computer. She also verified the correctness of the transferred data and customized my QuickBooks for Mac preference settings and forms. She then showed me how to record transactions properly and how to find my way around QuickBooks for Mac, which seems okay for my purposes. My accounting needs are pretty simple for my business. Right from the beginning I was impressed with Marina's professionalism and complete knowledge of QuickBooks. I would gladly recommend her to anyone in need of QuickBooks help. It was a real pleasure working with Marina!

While Marina Barreto and I worked together at the Sonesta Collection: Hotels-Resorts-Cruises from 2002 to 2007, I had the highest admiration and regard for her work ethic and professionalism. During those years, I observed Marina move from Chief Account to Assistant Controller at the then named Sonesta Hotel and Suites Coconut Grove in Miami. I have total confidence in Marina’s abilities and highly recommend her to any business searching for a proficient and skilled consultant to assist their accounting and bookkeeping department.

Marina Barreto worked for me between 1992 and 1999, when I was the financial controller of the 5-star Grand Bay Hotel in Miami. Marina was not only very diligent and competent in her accounting and computer training duties, but also a professional, hard working and unquestionably honest employee. She was a self starter who needed minimal supervision and had a unique ability to analyze complex problems and had almost a passion for getting things accomplished. Marina was also a pleasure to work with in an often stressful environment, where her great sense of humor and ability to work well in a team, were most welcome. I would, without reservation, highly recommend Marina to any company seeking “top of the line” accounting or accounting software consulting.
