I am incredibly grateful to have been connected to Deep Roots when we were. We were a quickly growing non-profit that needed support for more developed financial structure and strategies. Deep Roots met our needs on every level. Paul and Nicki were able to get our financial systems developed in a timely way, while training us how to better use them in the process. Their knowledge sharing with me, as well as their ongoing training and support with our bookkeeper has been the foundation needed for our financial growth. I find we have less daily needs as our systems are more developed, and yet when needed, Paul and Nicki are both incredibly responsive. I consider Deep Roots part of Thrive’s team. Their commitment to our growth is evident in the time they continue to commit in supporting us toward our mission.

Our organization has grown very much in the last six years, from three programs & projects to over 15. The ambitious tasks we’ve taken on have stretched our organization’s administrative capacity, particularly around bookkeeping and accounting processes, to new limits. Nicki and Paul at Deep Roots have worked with us to improve these processes and ensure that the members of our team have the skills and confidence to handle new, more challenging responsibilities. Nicki and Paul communicate with warmth and wisdom, explaining complex processes in easily understandable ways. They have helped get us through a few stressful situations, with tight deadlines and significant funding at stake, with calm grace. They are helping us improve the way we do things, and are an incredible ally in our efforts to serve the Warm Springs community into the distant future. Also, they’ve done a lot to lower my blood pressure!

Bringing Paul and Nicki from Deep Roots Business Solutions onto our team is something I find myself continually looking back on in gratitude. We struggled to find the right accountant and bookkeeper as a nonprofit and were very leery to bring someone new on because of that but also knew that for strategic growth that had to happen. The nonprofit experience Paul and Nicki offer as a team has been a perfect fit as they balance each other well and offer a great mixture of skillsets. They have fantastic communication and their insights have been very valuable to our team and board. Even though they are not employees of our organization they feel like part of our team. I highly recommend Deep Roots Business Solutions for nonprofits. It is hard to find accountants and bookkeepers who know this industry well, but Paul and Nicki are the perfect fit!

Paul and Nicki have been an asset to Tananawit, as it grows and develops as an individual non-profit. As a new organization, they have helped ensure our books are set up correctly, so we don’t run into issues in the future. They are always willing to jump in and answer questions as our staff members learn more about bookkeeping processes.
