Testimonials
Dear Michele,
I'm delighted to give you a testimonial – you're a treasure!
After years of less than satisfying administrative assistance,
I had the great fortune to have Michele come into my life. What
a difference! When Michele takes something on, I know
it will get done, and done well. But not only does she
take things off my plate, Michele anticipates what I might
need before I've thought of it. Her competence, dedication
and steady, easy-to-get-along-with style are a true gift.
One of the first tasks I gave to Michele was to review two
years of bookkeeping. To my dismay and delight, her
discovery of over $30,000 in unreimbursed expenses resulted
in a sizable tax refund for me.
Judith and I have complete confidence and trust in Michele's
abilities to run our business while we are away. This
has allowed us the opportunity to be on the road for extended
periods of time. She has coordinated conference and
workshop engagements in the United States, Canada and Mexico
often revising schedules on the fly.
Thanks for all you do to support Judith and me.
Love,
Robert Gass, PhD
Leadership Consultant, Coach and Trainer
Michele has been working for us since May 2004 and has made
a gigantic, positive difference on our lives. She handles
and tracks innumerable details, including correspondence
with clients, banking, bookkeeping and data entry. She
creates and maintains our office system, produces training
materials, and manages our rather complicated travel arrangements. We
travel frequently and everything runs flawlessly in our absence,
from business to home management needs. Michele's availability
to respond quickly to needs has also been a huge and beyond
the call of duty bonus. Michele is a pleasure to work
with, highly professional while also being warm and kind. We
recommend her highly.

Michele, in the last week you have done work that is so
very good, accomplished with such skill, that in addition
to paying your invoice I want to extend this special word
of thanks. You are extraordinarily competent, are smart
and always a quick study. The other lawyers and paralegals
with whom you have worked in my law practice have always
been grateful for your firm hand on a project. Now
that I am working with engineers and financial and real estate
analysts in my new business, you again have turned up extraordinary
work and always done it cheerfully. You are a whiz
with numbers, with worksheets, with Excel and the full suite
of Office programs, with time and billing software that we
have used over the years – you have helped us with it all.
So here you go: thank you so much for the fine service that
you have provided to me and my colleagues over the years.

BTW, everything I said above is true! I also appreciate
your friendship over the years. You are a fine person,
and I am glad to know you.
I must join with other clients
of Michele Guarino and A Second Office to say there is no one better in my 30
years in business at getting the details of business done
to my standards, which I consider to be high. Over the
3 years Michele has worked with me, she has proven to me
and my associates to save us time, money and headaches.
In our company's case, Michele used her Paralegal skills
in several litigation cases. Because Michele was knowledgeable
and experienced in these matters, we saved hundreds of attorney
hours by getting our records and information together before
we had our lawyer meetings. Michele gained the trust
of these attorneys to the point where they would encourage
us to work out the correspondence and file creation that
was used successfully in 3 cases.
We manage the operation of 9 company entities. Michele
from day one has maintained the corporate records and supplied
our CPA and Bookkeeper with the documents needed to
not only comply with the laws, but also to keep the companies
in a much more manageable condition. Her work makes
it possible for me to focus on the business issues and not
on the administration issues.
One of our businesses looks after real estate assets. Michele
developed a relationship with the various partners in these
properties and provided liaison to the management company
in another state. Partnerships are not always
easy to work with, yet by bringing her professional air to
all correspondence, the partners found it easier to look
at the real issues and make better decisions. Each
of the partners has expressed their appreciation for the
work that Michele has done on their behalf.
I trust Michele. She has helped me manage each of
the businesses I am responsible for. Michele has managed
my office for 3 years and developed a full knowledge of the
important elements of my business activities. She has
grown to become a confidant and sounding board to help me
clarify my approaches to various decisions and directions.
I count on Michele to know how to react to information.
When I am on the road, and especially when I am overseas,
I know Michele will gather the calls and mail and consolidate
the decisions I need to deal with and the items that can
be left for another time.
Michele Guarino has my highest recommendation for her work.
Sincerely,
Alan Josef Kaplan

To Whom It May Concern:
NetLynx received the name of Michele Guarino in December,
2004, during a search for competent business-administration
and computer-technology services. Ms. Guarino responded
to our inquiry immediately, introducing us to her business
platform, and to her own assistant. Thereafter, we have
called upon Michele for many special assignments.
As a regular client of Ms. Guarino’s firm, A Second
Office, LLC, NetLynx has come to rely on its services for
many of our administrative-task and computer-service needs. More
specifically, Michele’s company has provided: 1)
monthly and quarterly newsletter mail-merge, assembly, and
delivery; 2) organizational flowcharts; and, 3) fact-finder
data-gathering and implementation of a new AdvisoryPlatform
system.
The latter is a sophisticated planning-tool which is proprietary
to our wealth-management firm. As part of her services,
Michele is learning the software program for the new AdvisoryPlatform,
and becoming responsible for its delivery.
Michele Guarino has extraordinary knowledge of computer
systems, software and formatting. Her work and that
of the people whom she has provided us, has been thorough
and professional.
In conclusion, if you should take unfair advantage of this
testimonial – and demand so much of Michele and her
able assistant, Maeve, that they cannot continue to offer
the services to which we have become accustomed – then
we will break both of your legs!
NetLynx Financial Advisors, LLC
Gary Beels
Founder, Principal
The work you did for us on setting
up our SEC financials was nothing less than amazing. I
knew from the beginning that what we were giving you to work
with was in bad shape. You
were able to quickly get our financials formatted correctly
and then turned drafts around almost daily. I can’t
say enough about the work you did for us, and will continue
to use your services in the future.
Good
luck with your efforts,
