I so appreciate your warm and positive attitude as well for it makes the drudgery of following income and expenses so much more enjoyable. Thank you again for all your help.

Jennifer helped my husband’s business by reviewing and recommending ways to save money. They host our QuickBooks file on a remote server and now the file is much safer in a secure environment. She reviews his accounting books each month and I would recommend her highly.
Kathy Berg, Pro-Active Resources
Jennifer (Foster) is a detail oriented individual that saves her clients tons of money by not only keeping their books accurate, but she makes recommendations by reviewing their statements on ways to better your business so your balance sheet grows! I have worked with Jennifer personally as well as professionally and recommend her to my clients.
Lynn Reed, Northwestern Mutual Financial Network
I have been involved in hiring Jennifer twice and if needed will do so again. We are happy to recommend Jennifer and her company to anyone that needs a professional partner for consulting, bookkeeping, and payroll services. We have utilized her services for over a year at another startup and was my first choice as we started a new business entity in this stagnant economy. We knew we needed expert help during our “Start Up” phase. Jennifer has proved to be an excellent source of information and a good networking partner. Foster Results and Jennifer offer superior service and advice. She understands our needs and has always been timely in responding to our requests.
Terry Blake, Owner of Cellular Repair
Jennifer and her team are exceptionally responsive and helpful bookkeepers, keeping income and expenses properly tallied and quickly reported. I utilize her firm for invoicing services, as well, which are fast and comprehensive. I highly recommend her firm, Foster Results.
Dave Arland, Owner of Arland Communications
I was trying to run everything in our small business but all I was doing was running myself into the ground. Our accountant recommended letting go of the books and mentioned Foster Results. They came in when I was in a pinch and took over, wish I would have done it a long time ago. One less thing on my plate that keeps me from spending time on what I am good at and trained to do.
Grant Foley, Partner, Hayden Physical Therapy
Jennifer provides a superior level of service by mastering her trade, understanding and meeting the needs of businesses owners, and serving them honestly and diligently at all levels. Beyond her personal abilities and service she has surrounded herself with a staff of individuals who have equally high abilities and an equally strong focus on customer needs. I have utilized Jennifer over the past several years and often find myself recommending her and seeking her out for advice.
Kurt Beard, Bookkeeper, Veteran Construction
As a small but growing company, Foster Results has provided us with great service over the past three years. Their involvement has made it possible for us to outsource the accounting function, vs. hiring in house personnel to work in this role.
John S. Johnson Ph.D., Senior Partner, Precedent Academics
Foster Results took over my payroll services in 2010. Her company has been responsible, responsive, prompt and accurate. It’s always easy to get my account manager on the phone if there is a question. Everyone I’ve dealt with at Foster Results has been friendly and helpful. I would recommend Foster Results to any company looking for bookkeeping and payroll services.

When Truffle Media Networks started looking to have someone handle our bookkeeping, the traditional approach was to “find someone” to do it. But what do you look for when trying “to find someone”? Bookkeeping is a task that few people really like to do but if it is not done regularly, and done well, the workload to “catch up” can be stressful (very stressful). Sure I could do the work. But I have other items I need to do. Truffle is a media company, not an accounting company. I needed to spend my time on media and its audience.
Not knowing anything, I started with Angie’s List, a service that rates various companies, gaining its input from the customers of those companies. I started calling people from a list of about 10 certified public accountants and bookkeeping services, all that had some level of “A” or “B” rating in Angie’s List. I asked questions, I generated more, and I tried to understand how to find someone to handle our bookkeeping needs.
I finally narrowed the list to several people that I thought would work. One of them, Foster Results, I had received as a referral from another name on the list. Foster Results was unique on my list because they focused solely on bookkeeping as a service and they accomplished it all on the Internet. Many (all?) of the other people I called would be able to handle our needs but the key action I just cringed at was how QuickBooks information was shared. The main approach was to pass a QuickBooks data file back and forth. Uggggggg.
Foster Results offered a service that allowed me to have access to the company data at the same time they did. No need to coordinate on who had the file. While this sounds like a Homer Simpson “D’oh” moment (things on the web… duh!), keep in mind that the QuickBooks world has been living like this for quite awhile. It has only been in the last couple years where technology infrastructure has developed to support the needs of QuickBooks as a shared service on the web.
What Foster Results offers is a full blown version of QuickBooks, available on-line. This allows me to log on and have access to QuickBooks at the same time as the Foster Results team. Foster Results also handles the technology setup, data backup, and support.
But it is the service Foster Results provides that really makes this work. Jennifer Foster, President of Foster Results, was able to have me launched on their service within a week of signing the contract. While she did advise that they plan for a 90 day transition from current processes to their process, I was fully transitioned in about 30 days.
For a flat monthly fee, the Foster Results point person coordinates with me on what bills are due and what needs to be posted. She handles the postings, sets up checks to print, and handles the processing of monthly tax payments. She also handles the quarterly reporting needs to various state and federal agencies. An added benefit is that Jennifer, as a certified financial analyst and having worked at several firms as a CFO, reviews our financial state and provides recommendations.
The importance of the Foster Results service is that I know required actions will be done. That service, combined with the approach of standard QuickBooks, available without having to “pass the QuickBooks” ball, and the ubiquitousness of the Internet, allows me to focus on other parts of Truffle Media and not worry about bookkeeping.
John Blue, Owner of Truffle Media
Foster Results has very capably handled all our bookkeeping needs. As a business owner, it is great to be able to open QuickBooks at any time and know that it is up-to-date and accurate. It has helped us make better, more confident decisions.
Amy Arnold, Tuitive Group, web design and e-marketing
Foster Results takes care of all our bookkeeping needs and I’ve been very pleased with the capability and professionalism of their staff. For two years, bookkeeper was one of the dozen hats I wore as a small business owner, and handing that off to Foster Results has eased a lot of my pain. I love that I can view my books remotely through iFi and that we’re able to handle everything with zero paper – Foster Results pulls transaction information from my bank accounts and emails me monthly reports. I can focus on building the business rather than on swimming in the minutia of bookkeeping.
Ade Olonah, Founder & CEO, Formspring LLC
