Comments from Others

Bruce Emile Bergevin, CPA
    “I have been working with Janet Fohrman for the last eight years. Janet’s incredible attention to detail has made my job easier. She completes all tasks on time and has an excellent understanding of accounting principles.


    I would highly recommend her bookkeeping skills to anyone.”

Pamela Pimentel, RN,
Executive Director, Maternal Outreach Management System (MOMS)

    “Fohrman & Fohrman does our accounting and bookkeeping on a daily basis, including budgeting, financial control and management, and complete financial accounting of MOMS’ numerous grants. Due to the nature of our business as an incorporated 501c3 organization that receives local, state and private grants, we rely heavily upon their experience, knowledge and expertise to keep very detailed and accurate accounting records. They maintain our records in accordance with all specifications required, not only by the grantors, but also the independent auditors, CPA’s and our finance committee, which can be a very daunting task.




    This large responsibility has been met beyond our expectations consistently, accurately and with due diligence. Janet Fohrman is a person with exceptional competence, professional ethics and a complete understanding of accounting. I know that Janet’s success has provided Fohrman & Fohrman an exceptional reputation. In fact, members of our finance committee have highly recommended the company to other organizations that have now also employed their services.”

    “I have had the distinct pleasure of working closely with Janet Fohrman in the context of two essentially unrelated organizations. In one, I was Executive Director, and with Janet's assistance we unraveled some challenging situations and brought forward an accounting, budgeting, and financial management system of which any organization would be proud. After this totally positive experience, as President of another non-profit, I strongly urged the organization to bring on Fohrman and Fohrman. I would bring Janet on board in any non-profit because of the years of experience with her consistent capability to provide high quality work.







    Janet's integrity is beyond reproach, her professionalism is unquestionable, her accuracy consistently excels, and she has a passion for meeting the highest standards. Janet is constantly moving to stay current in her field enabling her to effectively advise clients. She is a team player in the manifestation of success. She moves mindfully through the work delivering high quality products month after month after month. And on top of all of this I find Janet is, in even the most challenging situations, a joy to work with.”

Sandra Bolton
Executive Director, Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County

    “Fohrman & Fohrman, and in particular Janet Fohrman, has provided Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County the critically needed expertise, support and patience required to make the start up of this organization a success!




    Her knowledge of non-profit accounting and how to handle multiple grants has been critical to appropriate allocations despite very complicated grant agreement and audits. I am grateful for this support.”

Patrick Guzman

    “Timely, accountable, knowledgeable, and friendly, that’s Fohrman & Fohrman.”

Bob Willard
Board Member: Leo Baeck Temple, Calif. Clean Money Campaign, Past Treasurer for OPICA

Excerpt taken from a memo to another nonprofit:
    “At the aforementioned day care center [OPICA] where I was Treasurer for a number of years, I had to deal with in house bookkeeping problems, but then the bookkeeping was outsourced with remarkable success. The firm engaged had and has a long history of working for nonprofits and well developed programs for supporting them. They continue to and have served the day care center for several years and serve another nonprofit with which I am involved. These are far smaller institutions, annual budgets less the $1,000,000. However, the firm has for more time than I know had full charge of the bookkeeping services at the Agape Church in Westchester (the one near LAX), a congregation far larger than you.



    The advantages are great. The principals in the firm have very high standards both from an ethical point of view and for job performance. The firm is not an employee but a contractor. There is no concern over salary, benefits, facilities, etc., and none of the attendant costs. There is never a hiatus in performing the bookkeeping as there is when an in house bookkeeper is absent. In the cases in which I have worked with the firm, the costs were far less than would those have been for a full time in house full charge bookkeeper. The services are of exceptional quality--the independent CPA involved told me that he had never found it so easy to review books as he prepared his audits. It can arrange things so that its clients can go on line from computers in the client's office any time to look up financial records.”

Alan Nowell,
Owner, The Art Studio

    “Janet Fohrman has been a major asset in the financial control of my company. The business of advertising in the best of times is a roller coaster and managing cash flow, payroll, receivables, payables and taxes is an uncompromising task.



    Janet and her organization have been tireless in their efforts to keep everything flowing smoothly. Her excellent character and integrity have been very apparent when handling delicate financial problems with both clients and employees.
    I have referred Janet to several other organizations and would not fail to do so again.”

Ann Vincent
Owner, W.P., Inc.

    “For six years, Fohrman & Fohrman has been solely responsible for overseeing many endeavors in my business and personal affairs. I have complete confidence in handing them any work of any kind as their service and quality are superior to anyone that I have dealt with previously.



    Fohrman & Fohrman has redefined the value of “service” to new standards that should be an example for all businesses. This is why it gives me great pleasure to recommend them.”

John B. McClay
Partner, McClay & Alani Law Corporation

    “It is my distinct privilege and pleasure to recommend Fohrman & Fohrman. Janet Fohrman has consistently demonstrated excellence in each of the tasks performed on our behalf. She has consistently impressed me with her determination and drive, and willingness to follow through with each task. On more than one occasion, the success or failure of some aspect of a major project rested squarely on Janet’s shoulders.



    She always found a way to complete the job regardless of the difficult circumstances. The value of such commitment and reliability is inestimable. Janet gets the job done and gets it done right.”
