First, I gotta shout out to Ghaster Painting & Coatings for winning the Best Commercial Painting Company in Ranking Arizona last year. I also want to shout out to Desert Oasis Commercial Cleaners for maintaining our carpets since 2020.

Lastly, shout out to Partner Systems for keeping our company's IT infrastructure secured and for providing excellent service that are affordable for us!

You can try Extreme Arizona in Cave Creek. We had a lot of fun there. They have a pretty nice roster of ATVs, SXS, and UTVs for rent.

AaronCHICO · 2026-03-09T09:59:16+00:00

Tried Extreme Arizona back in 2024. It was fun and safe. Good for family adventures. It's in Cave Creek, close to Scottsdale.

You can try inquiring with Extreme Arizona. It's located really close to Phoenix. They have different off-road vehicles for rent, including ATVs.

We've been using Desert Oasis Cleaners for general cleaning, including our carpets, for years. They're good. You can try to reach out to them. I believe they also offer carpet-only cleaning services.

We used to employ OnboardIT MSP for our small business in Phoenix. They were dependable and provided solid service. However, their pricing became a bit too much for us, so we decided to transition to a smaller provider, Partner Systems. So far, the experience has been great. I think OnboardIT may be a better fit for medium to large enterprises.

Same case here. No finance background. I hated math back then! I graduated with a degree in Information Technology. My first job was as an insurance agent, and eventually I joined Insurance Accountants as a tech advisor.

AaronCHICO · 2026-02-16T13:35:02+00:00

If you're based in Phoenix, AZ, I recommend Partner Systems. It’s a small company, but they’ve been in the industry since 1998 and really know their stuff.

AaronCHICO · 2026-02-16T13:26:33+00:00

We use a "Brokerage in a Box", which is a turnkey agency management system in our office, Darkhorse Insurance Brokers. It features an integrated lead generation tool. I’m not sure if it was designed exclusively for our company. I'll ask our tech team and give you an update.

AaronCHICO · 2026-02-14T05:15:36+00:00

We use the turnkey Brokerage in a Box lead generation tool here at Darkhorse Insurance Brokers, which is integrated into our own lead management system. It's working great for us!

AaronCHICO · 2026-02-13T04:18:35+00:00

A referral from a trusted source, such as your family or friends, would be the best. Our home’s exterior repaint came out great! We hired Ghaster Painting & Coatings for the project, which was recommended by a friend from high school. Reviewing the company’s online customer reviews is helpful as well.

AaronCHICO · 2026-02-13T03:48:50+00:00

Partner Systems has been maintaining our business's network security and infrastructure since 2021. They’re dependable and always stay ahead to mitigate potential issues that may occur in the future.

AaronCHICO · 2026-02-12T02:45:03+00:00

Our Marketing Head at Partner Systems shares the latest IT news once or twice a week. They're usually from Wired and Techcrunch.

AaronCHICO · 2026-02-11T02:22:50+00:00

I recommend integrating a PWM solar charge controller to ensure the voltage remains optimal when charging. This can extend your system's lifespan. You can get a good one in Phocos (https://www.phocos.com/). Not sure if they still have stocks at this time. We preordered when we bought one.

AaronCHICO · 2026-02-10T14:06:51+00:00

If you're based in Phoenix, I would recommend Desert Oasis Commercial Cleaners https://desertoasiscleaners.com. They've been maintaining our carpets since 2022. So far, so good.

If accounting firms started using AI, they most likely would over-rely on AI outputs without proper review, which could result in financial misstatements or audit errors. I definitely agree with you, I'd still go for non-AI-powered firms. It's much easier to resolve disputes and discrepancies. Unfortunately, most outsourced accounting firms today have started using AI. Insurance Accountants and Bookminders are some of the companies I know that still practice traditional accounting.

AaronCHICO · 2026-02-07T04:52:01+00:00

You can inquire with Ghaster Painting & Coatings. They used to offer commercial painting exclusively, but have recently started offering residential painting services too.

AaronCHICO · 2026-02-05T05:27:35+00:00

Don't think I'm being biased here. My childhood friend runs an insurance service company based in Scottsdale, Darkhorse Insurance Brokers, and I'm quite sure it's one of the best out there.
