What Our Clients Say
Posted on Google Jeremiah's Ice of BurlesonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Indevia was referred to me by a colleague, and I only wish I had made the switch sooner. Ruchi is incredibly detail-oriented, professional, and truly exceptional at what she does. My only regret is that she will be transitioning me to another team next month—she will be leaving some very big shoes to fill. As a detail-oriented client myself, I value accuracy and like to thoroughly review and understand my reports. Ruchi has consistently met that standard with her expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence. I’m grateful for the support she has provided and look forward to continuing my relationship with Indevia.Posted on Google James DudgeonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn't be happier with Indevia. Questions get answered quickly and turnaround on deliverables is consistently fast. They're diligent, handling complex items (journal entries, sales tax treatment, reclassifications, etc.,) with real care, and detail-oriented. On top of that, they're flexible and easy to work with, adapting to our processes rather than forcing us into a rigid mold. Ruchi and Smitha have been steady hands during our transition from in-house CFO to outsourced accounting.Posted on Google Vatsal PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. "I've been working with this accounting team for over two years now, and I can honestly say they've been one of the best business decisions I've made. What sets them apart is their punctuality — reports are always ready on time, every time, without me having to chase them down. Their attention to detail when it comes to banking transactions and reconciliation is outstanding; every dollar is accounted for and I always have a clear picture of where my business stands. Beyond just the numbers, they go the extra mile by breaking down food costs and labor costs in a way that's easy to understand, and they don't stop there — they actively bring suggestions on how to reduce expenses and grow sales. That kind of proactive, business-minded approach is rare and genuinely valuable. They are also very good at scheduling meetings for detailed discussions, making it easy to sit down, go through everything thoroughly, and ask questions without feeling rushed. A special shoutout to Pournami and Bhavik — their dedication, expertise, and professionalism make every interaction a pleasure. After two years, I trust them completely. They're not just accountants — they're true partners in the growth of my business. Highly recommend!"Posted on Google Tanis and Manny SorianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Indevia has been so great to work with. They dug me out of a 9month data entry deficit, got me up to date in 2026 and are very thorough. Going forward i never need to worry about getting behind in data entry again. I can spend my time focusing on the day to day needs and marketing now. Their team is pleasant and go above and beyond. Cant wait to see how they help me improve my future financesPosted on Google Vojka JovanovicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Indevia and Uma's team has been a very good experience. Their reconciliation process is accurate, timely and thorough. It's been a pleasure working with Uma and her team. I truly appreciate their professionalism, attention to detail and commitment in the bank reconciliation process. I would highly recommend Indevia accounting team.Posted on Google Lynn ReichlTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently switched my accounting services over to Indevia, and I honestly wish I had done it sooner. The transition—something I had been dreading—was incredibly smooth and completely stress-free. Their team handled everything seamlessly and kept me informed every step of the way. What really stood out is how much they take off my plate. For the price, they’re delivering far more than I expected—and even more than my previous accounting firm, at a lower cost. It feels like I finally have a proactive partner instead of just a service provider. Highly recommend Indevia to anyone looking to simplify their accounting and get real value. Bhushan, my accountant, is efficient and professional, just like everyone have encountered at the firm.Posted on Google Sam CleavengerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with this firm has been amazing. Great communication and attention to detail. Honestly I didn't know what we were missing until we joined with this firm. Ruchi, who heads up our accounts is hard working and doesn't miss a note. Super excited to be with these guys.Posted on Google Ilesh GorasiyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m extremely happy and impressed with the level of service provided by Smitha and Ruchi. They do a very thorough analysis of our books and reports and consistently bring thoughtful insights to the table. What I really appreciate is how they keep leadership involved in decision-making and ask the right questions that we sometimes overlook. I was honestly a bit skeptical about what to expect before switching, but I’m very glad we did. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive approach have made a real difference for our business. I would highly recommend them for accounting and bookkeeping services.Posted on Google Lamia IslamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love the Indevia accounting team! Dinesh, Smitha and Ruchi are the best! They are very professional and knowledgeable. Love working with Ruchi she has the best customer service skills. She is super caring and very knowledgeable. Get to learn something new from her in every meeting. Very impressed with them they are very organized.Posted on Google tanvir sehgalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Parth at Indevia for about 10 years for our bookkeeping needs, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Parth consistently delivers accurate, thorough work on time. He is detail-oriented, highly reliable, and always ensures everything is handled properly. What truly sets him apart is that he goes above and beyond his core responsibilities. For example, he helped us identify and transition to a more cost-effective payroll company, which saved us money and improved our processes. Whenever we need guidance on new features or systems, Parth arranges for someone from his team to train and support us. He is extremely responsive and replies promptly to any queries, no matter how small. His professionalism, dedication, and proactive approach have made him a trusted and invaluable partner to our business.
