I highly recommend Synergy Pathfinders, LLC and its owner, Heather Garland. I have known Heather for the past 15 years. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Heather while at two different entities. Heather first worked for me as the accounting manager at a non-profit in Washington, DC. My previous accounting manager had made many mistakes that Heather quickly discovered and corrected. Heather also developed efficient procedures to prevent future issues without adding undue complexity. Heather impressed me because she was efficient, accountable, accurate and trustworthy. About 9 years ago, while working at a small healthcare IT consulting firm, I needed a strong accountant. I immediately asked Heather to help us add structure and streamline our processes. For the last 8+ years, Heather has been producing monthly financial statements, processing payroll, preparing tax return documentation, and advising on business development proposals. Heather is a well-rounded manager. While she is analytical and detailed, she is also a fantastic communicator and strategic thinker.

Heather [of Synergy Pathfinders, LLC] is a results-driven powerhouse who consistently delivers polished, high-impact proposals and deliverables that elevate our team’s success. With a 360-degree approach to our department’s needs- from grassroots policy development, training manuals, and process documentation to strategic planning and future forecasting- she ensures we stay agile, efficient, and primed for growth.
