Michael realized he could solve the problem \u2014\u00a0on a local level and beyond \u2014 with cloud-based accounting tools.<\/p>\n<p>In under four years, Reconciled has grown to a staff of over 20, serves over 100 customers monthly, and has surpassed the seven figure mark in revenue. The company has also opened offices in Charlottesville, Los Angeles and Denver. \u201cI would not have guessed it would have gotten this big or grown this fast at all,\u201d Michael says of Reconciled\u2019s extraordinary growth.<\/p>\n<p>Michael\u2019s parents immigrated from Cambodia, and most of his family members are entrepreneurs. He credits his entrepreneurial and consulting background for getting Reconciled off the ground so quickly. But what really keeps them growing, he believes, is their ability to earn \u2014\u00a0and keep \u2014\u00a0client trust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccounting itself is not sexy, but what is is when entrepreneurs can feel that they are thriving. That\u2019s what our team does: we make sure that they\u2019re able to make educated financial decisions because of accurate numbers,\u201d says Michael. \u201cThe feedback we get from our customers is that they actually love our bookkeepers, which is a rare thing to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SBA award recognizes the impact of entrepreneurs who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, innovation, community initiatives and commitment to local economic growth. Ly and other local winners will receive their awards at the 2019 Vermont Small Business Awards Ceremony in June.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the U.S. Small Business Association:<\/strong><br \/>\nNational small business week has been running for over 50 years with the purpose of highlighting outstanding contributions of American entrepreneurs from all 50 states.
