NewRoc Now

I want to relay my experience with Ratafia and Company in the hope of saving another small business from the headaches that they put me through.  Anyone that runs a small business knows that whenever you switch accountants or bookkeepers the first thing you hear is how wrong everything you have done in the past […]
