Testimonials
“My wife and I have had an accountant that had done our personal tax returns for over 40 years. He was killed in a hunting accident and we had to seek a new tax accountant. We chose Starla 3 years ago and have been extremely pleased. She is very professional and knowledgeable about tax laws in the state of Alabama. She is very thorough and punctual. Starla has extremely good interpersonal awareness and is a great listener. We have filed enough tax returns over the past 53 years to know an excellent tax accountant. Starla Smith is one of those that we consider EXCELLENT! “

“I hired Starla to help me with my taxes the second year I was in business for myself. It was one of the wisest decisions I have made. Not only did she save me money on my taxes that year but she noticed some mistakes from the previous year, made the necessary changes and got me money back for that also! She has been a blessing. I no longer worry about that aspect of my business and personal life. I let Starla do what she is best at so that I can focus on the other aspects of my life that I am good at! She is definitely a stress reducer. “

“I have worked with Starla Smith for over 10 years. Her role as Controller, Finance and Accounting Manager and Operations Manager present her with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Starla has worked with me in a small company environment and a very large corporate environment. In each of these roles, Starla has exhibited an unparalleled commitment to honesty, integrity and stewardship. When problems were difficult to solve, Starla was the problem solver for our team and she was also utilized by other teams because of her intelligence and ability to resolve the issue.
One of Starla’ s greatest attributes is the ability to understand the technical and financial aspects of the business while communicating that information to those of us from other disciplines. This was shown as she presented financial results, coordinated operational issues and developed her team. Starla brings a very rare commodity of experience, tenacity, and intellect into her opportunity at Stellar!”

“Starla Smith was an answer to prayer for me as I was overwhelmed with a back log of Quick Book entries and taxes over due! Her expertise handled the job quickly and professionally. The reconciliations and imbalanced balances that brought me to tears caused her nearly a flinch and I believe delighted her! It was a match made in heaven! What intimidated me she quickly conquered! And at one point there was a stumbling block that got the best of her and she had resources that came to our rescue, quickly, promptly and victoriously. I admit, I was the cause of that situation. I highly recommend Starla Smith as she is calming and confident, honest and loves what she does. I have been praising her name all over town so you best call now to get an appointment.”

“Our books were all over the place. After several people doing quickbooks we needed an expert to look over our books and make suggestions of areas we needed to fix and how to make our business more accounting efficient. And then we found Starla. She looked over our quickbooks, made a list of things to fix and helped us fix them. She sat down with us and taught us features of quickbooks we didn’t even know existed. She even redid the way we bill clients. Now clients get an invoice and can see their charges so much clearer. Phone calls at billing time have pretty much stopped. Also reconciling our end of the month takes minutes now instead of days. Starla is a life saver and can make your business run smoother. If i ever have a question i just call her up or send her an email and she is there with the step by step answer to this day.”
