Sketchy Controller Work I've been working with a controller via Paro since Summer 2023. I paid a $3500 "clean up" charge to get my books in order and pay monthly for basic bookkeeping. My bookkeeper changed January 1st and barely logged into Quickbooks & provided no updated financial reports for all of Q1. Once we finally connected to try to correct the lapse in work, she told me it was her predecessor who did the bookkeeping wrong and therefore there was many miscategorizations back through 2023. Paro has NOT been responsive since my first formal complaint mid-March. There has been no real insight into what happened and now I'm just fighting to end my account and get a refund. Zero stars, if it were possible, mostly because for a highly funded company, their customer service blows.

Five star service Anna helped me find a qualified consultant incredibly quickly (within a short time frame, which was just what I needed to process payroll on time). She was prompt, efficient, courteous and thoughtful. My consultant did an excellent job answering my questions and helping me to make sure I had set up my taxes correctly. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I went from being worried if I’d chosen the right company because I hadn’t heard of them before, to being a definite repeat customer!

Build your client base in a matter of months I have been using the Paro platform as an expert since 2020. The company does a great job providing you opportunities for new clients. There is a regular stream of offers weekly without any effort from you. You can pick and choose the offers you are interested in, and you can build your client base rather quickly with just being timely and professional with meetings. The Paro service is worth their commission because they act as your personal sales rep.

My books are more confusing than when… My books are more confusing than when we started. Past years that were reconciled and filed were adjusted so my tax returns dont add up. Has cost me 5x what originally anticipated.
