“As the new Chancellor at one of Nevada’s K-8 Charter Schools, it was refreshing to have a seasoned financial company that supported our vision, kept us informed, and was fully engaged, allowing the school's vision to move forward without worrying about its financial health. County, state, and federal reporting were key to our robust financial health, and no report was submitted late to our charter sponsor, the Nevada Department of Education, or any federal grants during my tenure. Without question, this is a testament to the work of MeLann’s Unlimited.”

— K. Duncan, PhD—former Chancellor of School

“Being a non-profit leader can have great rewards, and great challenges.  During both those times, having a work partner who you can always rely upon is a great gift.  That is what Melinda Varner is like to have on your team.  Her standards of performance, confidentiality, inputs, and outputs are so high, you can always depend upon her supporting your agency and the important work you do in the community.  When you go to a funder or your board and present the financials, you can have every confidence that what she has prepared is accurate, appropriate and in alignment with the most current accounting practices.  In the thirteen years I worked with Melinda, we brought an agency from the brink of closing our doors, to being prepared to purchase a building and having the capacity to do so.  She is a professional and personal treasure.”
