What People Are Saying
“I have had the pleasure of working with Chime in two different companies both with totally unique needs. When we started Phidel, I called Chime first! What I appreciate is Chime’s emphasis on teaching us as she goes - I feel like we gain deeper understanding and best practices that set us up in a scalable way. Chime has been with us since day 1 and has easily adapted and taken on more as we grow and been a key part of our success because we trust her, which enables us to focus on growing our business.”

I would highly recommend Chime not only for her skills but also for her trustworthiness, and positive demeanor.”

Throughout that time, she did a tremendous job of cleaning up our books, overseeing all bookkeeping needs, and also proactively implementing systems and processes to ensure smooth communication across our organization. She is a hard worker that can be trusted with confidential information. Further, she always makes it a point to pay attention to the details which is a critical skill set in her position. I strongly recommend her for any firm.”

She is extremely reliable, knowledgeable, always goes above and beyond and has become such a key part of our team. It's been an absolute pleasure to both get to know her and work with her.”

"I have had the pleasure of working with Chime Dolkar over the course of five years while she was a part of my team at Opening Ceremony. There are few people that I have met that show both the dedication and curiosity to learn than Chime. She not only excelled at her role and continued to grow within the organization, but she also developed a strong understanding of the business which she was later able to utilize when working with me on the financial planning for the company. Her approach has always been to listen and help entrepreneurs and growing businesses plan strategically for the long term. This is why I continue to refer her to many businesses and creative businesses looking for a partner to help them plan their growth as well as handle their accounting needs"
-Carol Lim, Co- Founder, Opening Ceremony
“I worked with Chime for over five years, and it was an absolute pleasure. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and reliable — always willing to take the time to explain complex accounting rules while being incredibly efficient in ensuring that everything is completed on, if not ahead of, time. In addition, she had an excellent rapport with everyone on the team, which is not only crucial to effective communication, but which is also one of the defining characteristics of why she is such a joy to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is considering engaging her services, and believe that she would be an asset to any team.”
