What Our Clients Say

Dan Green

OMG Media Group, Inc.

Monterey, CA

“I have worked with Thornley & Knight, Inc. since their inception, and we continue to receive the same excellent service today that brought us on board all those years ago. Their friendly staff, and exceptional attention to detail makes them so easy to work with. I don’t ever have to be concerned about a payroll issue or rent being delivered on time. We outsource all of our accounting needs to them and have been very happy with the result. It’s one less thing, as a small business owner, to keep me awake at night!”
