Happy Clients

The best part of being an independent bookkeeper is working with the people in diverse industries.

“As a leader of a nonprofit, working with Select Bookkeeper has made my job more manageable and has helped our organization grow. Darlene is professional, informed, and always responsive. It’s a pleasure to work with a local bookkeeper who cares about our business and has the know-how to keep our important work behind the scenes timely and compliant.
Thanks for all you do!”

“Darlene saved us! We are a homeowner’s association of 32 camps in VT. We hired Darlene three years ago when the bookkeeping became too burdensome and time-consuming (payroll and other taxes, insurance, state loan repayments and filings, annual billing to association members, payments to vendors, preparation of financial statements, annual budgeting, etc.) Darlene came to us highly recommended, but she has added way more value than we could have imagined. She set us up on Quickbooks which is perfect for our needs. She handles all our accounting and reporting, researches issues, makes suggestions, follows up with vendors, and reminds us when we need to do things! She is knowledgeable, professional, thorough, efficient, accessible, lovely to deal with. She is a gem, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. “

“I have been working with Darlene Palmer for the past 4 years and she is a Total Joy. Punctual Professional Always Pleasant and Responsive Hands Down Darlene is the Best Bookkeeper I have EVER worked with, and I spent 35 years on Wall Street as a Trading Desk Manager and Hedge Fund Portfolio Manager. You’re The Best!!
Thank You”

“Several years ago, my homeowners association, which runs a water system for its members, was seeking someone to do bookkeeping to help out our treasurer, me. Darlene was recommended by one of our Executive Board members. I reached out and she responded quickly. We could not be happier with her work for us! She is extremely responsive and just does not make mistakes. She handles all the bill paying and prepares regular financial statements. She also manages the annual assessment process by sending out invoices and collecting the payments. The members of the Executive Board are very happy with Darlene’s work, and we also find that what she charges for her services is very reasonable. I have not met Darlene in person, but I deal with her all the time. Personally, she has made my life much easier and is a pleasure to work with.”

“At Champlain Valley Hops we have enjoyed working with Darlene and Select Bookkeeper for our bookkeeping services for the last several years. Darlene has gone above and beyond to help our business and is always available to answer questions when they come up. She has been thorough, responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. We fully trust Darlene with managing our farm’s books and we are confident that we are in good hands”

Max

“Since Darlene has taken over the financial aspect of the business I can relax, knowing that everything is getting done correctly. I am so grateful I can trust the quarterly payroll and state taxes are done correctly; and what a gift that Darlene works closely with our accountant to close the fiscal year out. Darlene is patient, thorough, reliable, trustworthy and has been so willing to be of service.
Gratefully,”

“I had the pleasure of interning with Darlene at Select Bookkeeper when completing my Bookkeeping Certificate from the Community College of Vermont. From the very first day, Darlene demonstrated a remarkable blend of professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to my growth and learning. One of the constants throughout my internship was the patient and thorough approach to training. Darlene took the time to explain complex accounting concepts in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring that I felt confident and competent in my tasks. Whether it was managing financial records, reconciling accounts, or preparing reports, I received clear guidance and constructive feedback that strengthened the foundation of my knowledge.”
