Testimonials

Mary J.
Walter has proven to be a time-tested professional in every regard with a wealth of knowledge to share, apply and contribute to all his work projects. Walter's valued approach, his efficient follow-through and his pleasant and communicative work style are all welcomed attributes in our current climate!

Gary C.
Walter handled the negotiations with a former partner in a company that I was a minority owner of. He clearly identified a solution that was fair and his refusal to take "no" for an answer resulted in a settlement that was greatly beneficial to me. Walter is professional and has a knowledge and an insight as to how a business should operate. If I ever have a problem or need an opinion, Walter will be the first that I call. Gary Clayton, CPA

Gary A.
I have known Walter for several years and sought his advice and counsel on matters relating to bookkeeping, accounting, payroll and finance. He has helped us with several projects over the years and I consider him professional, responsive and worth the amount he billed. I would highly recommend Walter to any business that wants to hire him.

Tony H.
It has been a pleasure and privilege working in partnership with Walter Hess for many years. When he was the head of one of the largest business travel agencies based in Atlanta he managed all travel for my two companies--Destination Atlanta and Hobson Barnes and Associates. For Destination, his company managed extensive and complex air travel arrangements for attendees (average 8-15,000) traveling to trade shows we ran in Atlanta, Dallas and LA. His and his staff's execution was flawless... For Hobson Barnes, he managed all the corporate travel for me and my staff of 40. Again flawless execution and always looking for ways to save us money with our travel needs. Over the years we have had a great business and personal relationship--I have learned a lot from him--he's someone you can count on. Please call me if I can provide more info or insights regarding his wide range of business acumen. Tony Hobson Exec. VP Media Brokers International 404 444-0401.
