Hear What Our Clients Say

Job Search Agency - FL

"The Economic Recovery team was outstanding with our ERC tax credit. They were highly communicative, very thorough, and their attention to details provided us comfort should anything need to be reviewed. We are recommending them to other companies we do business with as well."

Veteran Non-Profit - IN

"Thank you so much for providing your service. As a non-profit the majority of our help is volunteer. We didn't think we would qualify for this program. Thanks to your team we not only qualified, we will also make up for our shortfall from our last 2 years of little activity in our Donor Campaigns."

Medical Facility - FL

"As an essential business there was no thought to applying for the Employee Retention Credit program. Once we explored all of the various companies providing the same service, we knew we made the right decision when they asked to speak with our in-house legal department first, not just pushing a contract."

Tech Firm - NY

"Our CPA said we did not qualify because we broke even in 2020 and made money in 2021 even though we had to change our entire business. When we spoke with Economic Recovery we found out that we qualified and had ERC available above our 2 PPP grants, we were amazed. They understand this program inside and out."
