What Inspired My Business
My husband's passion for cars and meeting some of the greats in the industry in his 'formative years'.
Most Unusual Client or Client Story
We currently have a client we've never met who lives a few states away. We've been working on his automobile for over a year and he has only seen the progress on our website. He wants to do high end restoration and found out about us by word of mouth. Good work pays off!
Recent Business Surprise
During this current economic recession we are growing our customer base, adding employees and turning business away!

Fun Facts About Kathleen52
Personal Bio
Married with 2 children and 3 grandchildren. Was an okay student in high school and found my 'calling' when my late husband insisted I be his bookkeeper for his business in 1982. The next year we bought a business computer and started doing our bookkeeping on it. That is basically how I learned accounting.
Through the years I've worked my way up from Accounts Payable Clerk to Full Charge Bookkeeper, Payroll Supervisor for small hospital with 1000 employees and finally to the job I now hold as a senior financial analyst with a national health insurance company.
My husband's business and our home are on the same property. I work from home also so I keep very busy with all things computer/accounting related.

Most Challenging Business Obstacle
Business Challenge
Developing a Business Plan, My husband started the business a couple of years before we ever met with no business knowledge, but luckily is very detail oriented. I've had businesses before with my late husband, but was not the decision maker.
Our Solution
We engage others with experience in related businesses as well as getting financial recommendations from our bankers and CPA. Mostly we rely on God to guide us and help us find within our own experience and skillsets the answers we need. So far so good. We are very thankful of where we are today because of His faithfulness.
