Bob Hurd ran his company for 25 years. He calls hiring Nimbl his best decision. Here’s how clean books and a real partner got him ready to sell.

So look, before we hired Nimbl to take over the accounting portion of our company, it was inconsistent, unreliable, it was messy. Things didn’t get done, like sales tax. It might get done one month, it might not get done the next month. Payroll was last minute. There was always something that would slip through the cracks. You know, it wasn’t anything I could bring to a prospective buyer.
So once we went to work with Nimbl, what it did was it freed us up to run the business. You know, the day-to-day stuff, the payroll, you know, the preparations for the accountant, that stuff was off our plate and we were free to go do what we do.
What we realized really quickly was that it wasn’t a cost at all. We saved a great deal of money, but more importantly what we got was so much more than what we thought, and what we got was we got a partner. We got someone that could assist in making financial decisions, help us prepare reporting so we could go to banks and ultimately sell the business.
It was the best decision that I ever made in the entire 25 years that I ran the company. I mean that from the bottom of my soul, man. These guys outperformed consistently. They took our business to another level. They worked around the clock for us.
You know, we went to sell the business, there were multiple buyers at different times, and you know, it didn’t matter what they asked for. We would get the information in short order and in a way that a prospective buyer could look at and analyze it, and it was easy to, you know, to go through.
Look man, we saved so much money. Not to mention, like, it was just free from being in my head, and the stuff that was happening on the back end, look, we didn’t have to worry about, and we got to do what we were good at. You know, we produced profits in excess of 200%. To not hire them would come at a great cost.
