Testimonials
Altobooks has provided good support to me while I am scaling up and taking new clients. I hired an accountant from Altobooks initially for few of my clients and then we scaled up to a good reliable full time 2 people team from them. Initially, first week was little slow for us. Later on, it went very well. They took a lot of load from me. I also hire temporary candidates for tax season as well. We did 200+ returns from the team last year. I recommend them to anyone who is looking to hire good accounting and tax candidates.
I have known Altobooks team and particularly worked with Jigar for 12 years now. They are good at their job and very honest. Even if they do not know something, they will come up to us and ask for the guidance and then kind of imbibe the learning for future task. I like this quality of their team. I wish them all the best.
I used to work with other outsourcing partner earlier. There were some quality issues, so I stopped outsourcing. I was hesitant to work with Altobooks. However, after onboarding 2 people from Altobooks, I have got very good support now. For us, they are very much like our own people here. Though we are a small firm and small team, we provide great services to our clients. Thank you Jigar and team. His partner Tejas is a good guy too.
