Lisa is absolutely amazing. I’ve been going to her for over 7 years. She’s fast and accurate. Any questions she is quick to respond. My whole family now goes to her and I have multiple coworkers who see her. My mom was sick in the hospital and she was kind enough to help my Dad fill out forms. Super pleased with her service. She goes above and beyond! Thanks Lisa

Lisa is a great bookkeeper. When I opened my business I was so overwhelmed by doing my tax. Another accountant had totally confused me. Lisa took a huge weight off me and she provides a great service. Always there to answer a question whenever. She certainly puts your mind at rest thanks Lisa

Lisa Barry Newman of LBN Bookkeepign has done my taxes for the last two years, she makes sure she has everything you need and will research if you have special circumstances (if you are disabled, etc...). She has also done small business taxes for friends I sent to her. Every last one of them sang her praises and will
