Marie Ève Chassé,
Executive Director, Réseau Ontario
Réseau Ontario greatly benefited from Zivo's expertise during a critical period in 2023 when we faced staffing shortages in our finance department. With year-end approaching and delays in billing, data entries, and reconciliations, Zivo stepped in with professionalism, efficiency, and care.
They swiftly caught us up on overdue tasks and implemented new processes that not only improved our immediate financial operations but also enhanced our systems for the long term. Their team supported our audit preparation by thoroughly analyzing our financial statements and providing insightful recommendations.
These recommendations led to improvements in how we presented reports to our board of directors and modernized our accounting system. Zivo’s service is exemplary, consistently demonstrating a deep respect for confidentiality, deadlines, and building warm, trusting relationships. Their contribution was key to our organization’s financial success, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Art Pittman,
Former Chair, St. John Lutheran Church Council
Zivo’s team provided invaluable support during a particularly challenging time for our church. Their professionalism, patience, and dedication were evident as they stepped in on short notice to help us file our taxes on time and take over our bookkeeping.
They worked diligently to address issues stemming from our previous bookkeeping system and went above and beyond to guide us through the transition as we joined another church. Zivo not only streamlined and integrated our bookkeeping, invoicing, payments, and reporting systems but also implemented tools that allowed for transparency, convenience, and accuracy.
Their proactive approach made our financial management more efficient, and their willingness to go the extra mile was crucial in keeping our operations running smoothly. On a scale of 1-10, I would confidently rate them a 10, and highly recommend Zivo for any organization seeking expert financial guidance. It has truly been a pleasure working with Josiane and the entire Zivo team.
