OUR FIRM…and our history
Restore Accounting, Tax Preparation and Training is the place in Albuquerque, NM and Rio Rancho, NM that people regularly turn to for superb quality accounting, tax preparation and training experience. It can truly be said that We Love Numbers And People.
Restore Accounting started as a college dream of our Principal Accountants, Takisha Nare, MBA. She learned one of the hardest parts of starting a small business was doing the accounting. Many small businesses close within the 2nd – 3rd year of starting up. Why? Mainly due to mishandling of funds, little to no accounting experience, management issues and lastly, not being able to afford professional financial services. Takisha decided her purpose as an accountant would be to help the very people who need it the most, small business owners who can’t afford professional financial services, but still need the expertise of a well-trained, professional and honest accountant.
Now of course this dream didn’t become reality until she had been out of school for 10 years and returned to get her master’s degree. After several years of her relentless mother pushing her to “just do it”, and several friends calling and asking for help with their own small businesses, Takisha took the leap and started Restore Accounting, LLC officially January 1, 2010. Her initial plan was to offer accounting only, but after successfully securing several small business clients who also needed tax preparation, she added tax preparation. She also added on medical billing & coding from 2012 thru 2022. In 2019 Takisha added on training with the goal of spreading her knowledge to more than just her current clients. Takisha is bridging out to train others on accounting and taxes with the goal of reaching more small businesses on a larger scale. Thus, currently resulting in her practice being Accounting, Tax Preparation, and Training.
