Welcome to Coakley Small Business Services!

My name is Amber Coakley and I launched Coakley Small Business Services in November, 2007.

My experience is in the legal field – I worked for a Dallas, Texas law firm for seventeen years. I started as a one-woman accounting and IT department, and grew with the Firm to become its controller, managing a staff of five. I also designed and supported the Firm’s custom case management database.

I excel at new accounting software implementations, upgrades and conversions. I know my way around databases and can design simple, custom database solutions. The payoff of well designed and implemented accounting and business data systems is the valuable information and insight that becomes available to business owners. I have developed a unique method of presenting business data so that it makes sense to both executives AND accountants!

Here is what some of my clients have said about me:

Amber is a great business woman and has provided us with the best level of service.  Coakley Small Business Services meets all our needs for accounting, data processing, and general business advise and direction.  She has worked diligently to provide the services we have retained her for as well as custom services and features that she identifies to make our operations successful. Amber provides us everything we need at a more than reasonable cost. We’re very happy with our relationship with Amber and Coakley Small Business Services and recommend her services with no question.

…Amber was able to come in on an interim basis, quickly assimilate the system and keep things running until a permanent replacement could be put in place…

…We have been very satisfied with the job that she has done. She worked well with our staff, and exhibited an ability to learn our business processes and to incorporate these processes into the database design. We also have seen the presentational benefits of the new database when Amber put together an analysis of our data for an important business meeting…
