Kerrie went above and beyond of what was expected of her services to our case.

- "My firm retained Ms. Merrifield on a rush basis, to assist with a complex cash flow analysis in a post-judgment Family Law/ Spousal Support modification case. Despite a variety of difficulties and challenges with respect to obtaining the necessary information from the opposing party, Ms. Merrifield was prompt and diligent to provide us with the analysis and report we needed. She prioritized our matter and despite the rush time frame, made sure to communicate effectively about what exactly needed to be done, making changes where called for. Ms. Merrifield’s clear, convincing and detailed report played a large role in the case’s prompt resolution, thus saving the client thousands of dollars in attorneys fees. Both the client and I were very pleased with the outcome. I look forward to retaining Ms. Merrifield again in the future!" Lauren Mullee, Esq. , Buncher Law Corporation
- "Your testimony knocked out $300,000, of their economic damages." James P. Mason, Attorney at Law
- "Ms. Merrifeld is by far the most detailed and analytical person I've met and done business with. Her attention to the most obscure of detail is what made our case. She absolutely doesn't miss a thing. Her credentials are like, O.K. lady, are you ever not studying and improving your knowledge and capacity to serve your clients. Kerrie is far beyond a forensic CPA, she takes your case personally and will do everything to provide you the best possible services as if you were her own family." Andrew S.
- "I recently went through a difficult divorce. My ex had taken care of all of the finances so I was in the dark. He was withholding information and giving half-truths and I felt powerless. As soon as Kerrie started on the case I felt a sigh of relief. She left no stone unturned and quickly got to the bottom of all of the issues. This included finding undisclosed accounts and a side business. Without her knowledge and expertise I would still be in the dark. Kerrie is compassionate and will fight for you. I truly felt with Kerrie I had someone in my corner at all times and made such a difference during the most difficult time in my life. " Kathy M.
