Transformation Beyond Expectations

★★★★★

Our journey began in dissatisfaction and anxiety, but thanks to Sylvain, we rediscovered the beauty of our work! In just a year, we transitioned from merely renting a chair at a salon to owning a thriving Day Spa. The clarity and guidance provided were invaluable. With a meticulous approach, Sylvain helped us negotiate an incredible deal for a space we could truly transform. We now have eight talented hairdressers, a dedicated team for pedicures and massages, and a space where we can flourish. Our first five years have generated over $2 million in profit! We couldn't be happier!

As a small business owner, I found managing payroll and bookkeeping to be overwhelming. I reached out to Sylvain, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Their team is incredibly professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to understand my business needs and provided tailored solutions that made my life so much easier. I have peace of mind knowing my finances are in good hands. Highly recommend!

Expert Guidance That Saved My Business

 ★★★★★

I was overwhelmed with financial stress, burdened by loans I couldn't repay. Sylvain's financial coaching turned everything around. He negotiated a one-year extension with my bank and set me on a path toward success with quarterly performance guidance. 

I learned to focus on efficient operations, selling off non-essential segments, which dramatically improved my financial standing. I managed to pay off my equipment loan in just eight months and even got back on track with my mortgage! Sadly, after I passed on my business, my son's reluctance to seek advice proved disastrous for the company. Sylvain is a true professional who helped me achieve what I thought was impossible!

Bookkeeping  & Payroll 

                     ★★★★☆

Sylvain has significantly improved my company’s financial processes. His expertise in payroll has helped me avoid costly mistakes, and their accurate bookkeeping allows me to keep track of my finances without stress. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is due to a minor delay in response time during the COVID-19 pandemic, but overall, they are excellent at what they do!

 When Tragedy Struck

                        ★★★★★

After a tragic accident that took my husband and left me with an unexpected fortune, I didn’t know how to navigate my new reality. 

I felt overwhelmed and unworthy of the wealth that came my way, especially after losing my loved ones. Working with Sylvain was a transformative experience. He approached my situation with such compassion and understanding. I never felt judged or manipulated; instead, I found a safe space to express my fears and doubts. With his guidance, I was able to embrace my wealth and the new opportunities it brought, while still honoring my past. I’m incredibly grateful for the support and clarity he provided. I finally feel at peace.

An Experience That I wish I had had a few years ago!

                           ★★★★★

Working with Books & Beyond, LLC has been transformative for our organization. As a mid-sized business, we faced various risks that we couldn't fully identify or mitigate on our own. Their approach to risk management is like a big consulting firm. The services that Sylvain and his Team provided us with a comprehensive analysis of our vulnerabilities and practical strategies to address them. The team was highly professional and knowledgeable, guiding us through every step of the process. Since implementing their recommendations, we've seen a noticeable improvement in our risk posture and our team's confidence in managing unforeseen challenges. I highly recommend their services!

One Step at a Time ... The Help was Huge!

                          ★★★★★

I am deeply grateful for the incredible coaching I received from Sylvain! 

When I first reached out, I was navigating a painful divorce and struggling with severe low self-esteem, compounded by a challenging work environment and a demanding boss. 

I felt lost and overwhelmed, unsure if I could ever regain my confidence and find my footing again.

From our very first session, Sylvain provided a safe and supportive space for me to open up about my feelings and experiences. With empathy and understanding, he helped me reframe my mindset and develop practical strategies to cope with my situation.
