They are helpful and professional. Their client liaison, Blake, was immensely

I was basically shunted to MBO by a client of mine who was outsourcing invoicing
and admin for its independent contractors. MBO, and especially my liaison, Ali,
did an excellent job of onboarding me. MBO took care of setting me up as an LLC
and directing me to the required liability insurance, and they do not mark up
the costs of either. Ali was extremely professional and responsive (to phone
calls, not just emails!!!) in walking me through the process. This outfit has
its act together!
