“Monica Muir has been THE most influential piece of my business.” –David Apple, Apple Landscaping, Inc.

Monica Muir specializes in helping businesses use QuickBooks effectively so they can save time and money, focus on running the business, and increase profitability.  She’s a firm believer that wasting time from inefficiencies and lack of training in QuickBooks is more costly than many businesses realize.  Monica offers QuickBooks installation and setup, consulting, training, and troubleshooting.

Monica’s numerous QuickBooks certifications and her advanced degree in Adult and Community College Education give her an edge over most other QuickBooks consultants, enabling her to help her clients get the most benefit and productivity that QuickBooks has to offer.    Her love for education started at an early age, and her passion shines through from the very first time you meet her when she hands you her business card and some M&Ms.  On the back of the card, it says “For stress, frustration, or confusion with QuickBooks, Rx: Take two and call me!”

Before founding Muir & Associates in 2004, Monica provided business software support to the small business community of southeastern Pennsylvania. During those years of working with business software, she started learning QuickBooks – the hard way! Having experienced the learning curve herself gave her a genuine understanding for how her customers feel.
