When Dave Holt and Patrick Bosse left their jobs at a marketing agency to strike out on their own, little did they imagine in only one year their startup would grow to multiple offices and employees. To help get a handle on the bookkeeping aspect of running a company, the entrepreneurs turned to SCORE.

"Our mentor [Bob Elliot] came in, looked over our books and gave us tips and insights into how to document transactions and keep everything straight." -- Dave Holt
