Testimonials

Kind words from mentors, facilitators & team leaders

Endorsements from those who've worked directly with me.

"I highly commend Irish for her professionalism and strong work ethic. She is reliable, dependable, and takes initiative in her work. She communicates well by asking thoughtful questions whenever clarification is needed, yet she is equally capable of working independently. She's someone you can trust to take ownership of her responsibilities and consistently deliver quality results."

CR
Carm Rimas
Facilitator, Borderless Accountants

"From the very beginning, Irish stood out because of her eagerness to learn. She reflects on feedback, takes ownership of mistakes as learning opportunities, and consistently improves. She's hardworking, dependable, approachable, and someone who contributes positively to any team."

JP
Johnny Patalinghug
Team Leader, TaskUs (BPO)

"Irish is one of my most reliable downlines. She requires very little supervision and is able to multitask effectively. She has a strong work ethic and consistently comes in, focuses on her work, and does the right thing even when no one is watching. Given the opportunity in the future, I would gladly choose to work with her again."

Borderless Accountants· Jul 1, 2026Cash & Accrual Basis Reports

Excellent work, Irish! Your Cash and Accrual basis reports are fully accurate — Sales, Expenses, Net Income, Assets, Liabilities, and Equity all reconcile perfectly against the solution key, with correct AR/AP treatment under accrual. Great job!

BA
Borderless Accountants· Jun 17, 2026Full Accounting Cycle

Excellent, accurate work across the entire accounting cycle! Every dollar figure in your Journal, Ledger, Trial Balance, and Financial Statements is correct, including the trickier two-sided Accounts Payable and Unearned Revenue accounts and the Aug 27 retainer recognition. Net Income of $6,330 and a Balance Sheet balancing perfectly at $28,730 confirm a complete and correct accounting cycle. Two tiny things to polish: "Notes Payable" doesn't need an apostrophe (it's not possessive), and in T-accounts it's good practice to label balances as "Bal: Dr $X" or "Bal: Cr $X" rather than just the number — you placed every balance on the correct side, so this is a presentation nicety rather than an accuracy issue. Great command of the material!
