Client Words

Trusted because she treats your organization like her own

I have had the opportunity to work with Michelle J. Lambert and her team since 2009. Michelle is the consummate professional accountant… She has been instrumental in working with the leadership of the HOPE Commission in the development of custom financial management tools and policies designed to protect the organization’s assets. She is attentive, patient and acutely knowledgeable of the unique financial management needs of small and large non-profit organizations. She is definitely a keeper!

Charles MaddenExecutive Director, Wilmington HOPE Commission

Ms. Lambert’s professionalism, expertise, and personal attention to our organization has contributed greatly to our financial stability and exceeded our expectations of service. She has gone above and beyond for our organization and although she is a contracted service provider, we see her as part of our family.

Dr. Jack L. PerryFounder & Executive Director, Prestige Academy Charter School

Michelle has been my tax advisor since moving to DE from the Midwest. In that time I have never been less than impressed with her responsiveness, knowledge and timeliness. She also advises me throughout the year to ensure I am prepared and proactive in tax compliance… It also helps that she is a delightful person to work with.
