Meet YFE Accounting Blogger, Donna

by Jenn on August 31, 2010

Post image for Meet YFE Accounting Blogger, Donna

Donna Reitz of Donna Reitz CPA, LLC has been a part of YFE from the start when we were meeting out of Jenny’s home. Getting to know Donna, a bit more over the past few months I have a huge amount of respect for her. She always has a very cool demeanor about her- even during the height of tax season- and is always happy to point a fellow women entrepreneur in the right direction with her books.

Donna also has an amazing story I hope she will share with the group about perseverance and  discipline. She always seems to be training for a triathlon or marathon; a great example of how athleticism and entrepreneurialism can feed off each other.

From Donna:

I am the owner of an accounting firm that specializes in providing a variety of services to small and medium sized businesses including:
  • Bookkeeping and accounting services, ranging from the daily tasks of invoicing customers and paying vendors to reviewing transactions, reconciling the bank statement and producing financial statements. Generally this is done from our location, but we also can work at the client office if requested.
  • Preparation and filing of federal income taxes for individuals and businesses. We also provide tax planning and education throughout the year to help our clients avoid any year end surprises and minimize their tax liabilities.
