Testimonial by an Attorney who worked with Carolyn on a business partnership fraud case:

 Having worked with CB Accounting in general, and Carolyn Baird in particular, I can tell you that she is professional, responsive, and personable. Our clients have loved working with her, as she can take sophisticated accounting concepts and present them in a way that is easy for non-accountants to understand -- while not watering down the analysis. As an attorney, I always appreciate working with professionals who are experts in their area, and that’s what you’re getting with Carolyn.
