I’ve been working with Michael & Mary since July of 2013 and wow, they’ve helped me really turn things around and start living much more closely to my God-intended purpose!

I feel that an ideal client for The Carli Group would be someone with passion about their business who has a certain skill set, but needs help with structural details. Michael & Mary really help you make the important decisions that sometimes you don’t even know you need to make!

Thank you for your assistance Mary and Michael. Thank you for being a big part of this particular chapter of my life!

“Just when you think you know everything about growing a business, you need to hire Michael and Mary Carli. They will take you directly through that next challenge and on to another level. In addition to their above-and-beyond service, integrity, and professionalism, they are very knowledgeable, detail oriented, persistent, and dedicated to their clients. They will immediately prove to be an investment … not just another expense.”

"To whom it may concern,

It is my pleasure to introduce you to Michael and Mary Carli – “the cure for the small business symptom”, or more specifically, “the small service business symptom”.

Like most small business owners, my business evolved to a point where I had completely lost control of the strategic management of my business. I found myself increasingly managing whichever crisis was immediately in front of me and what few systems I had in place were becoming increasingly inadequate as our business grew. I was becoming the poster child for the person who was being run by their business rather than the person running their business.
Then along came the Carli’s! We contracted with Michael and Mary to help us regain control of our business and, they made an immediate impact in several areas. Mary systemized our bookkeeping process so that we were on top of our receivables – one of our several chronic problems. Within a short time she had us updated to the point that we had confidence again in our management reports.

Michael systemized our entire operation – allowing us to focus on being proactive and regaining control of our sales and production processes. And, together with Mary, Michael taught us how to better control our cash flow and, create a budget for eliminating our debts.
I would highly recommend the Carli’s to any service related business that needs help getting their business to the next level or any entrepreneur who wants to be a successful service business owner. I am confident that, had Michael and Mary been available to me when I first launched my business I would have shaved ten years off of the learning curve and saved myself hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It’s not a question of whether or not you think you can afford the Carli’s, it’s more of a question of whether or not you can afford to be without them. The service business in Florida has become increasingly more complex and competitive. Your one big advantage to being successful in the service business may very well be Michael and Mary Carli – don’t over think it, just say yes to the Carli’s. It will be the best business decision that you ever make."

"As a CPA for over 25 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work one on one with many business owners. During that time, I’ve watched Michael and Mary Carli create one of the most successful businesses I have ever seen. If you are looking to build or grow your business, call Michael and Mary. They built a successful business and can show you how to achieve that same level of success."

"I have known Michael and Mary Carli for nearly 15 years, and they are two of the most respected and hard working people I know.  As one of their Top Notch Pest Control employees for 6 1/2 years, I personally observed their dedication to their customers and employees.  They were, and continue to be, committed to providing quality service with honestly, integrity and expertise.  Michael and Mary make a great team and are certain to provide the same excellent service in their new business venture."

"I have recommended, and will recommend, Michael Carli to any business owner who wants to take his “hands-on business” from a source from which to make a living and, therefore, focusing on each day, to a source which affords the owner a life and, therefore, focuses on his future. Michael is not a “coach in a can” selling a coaching program, but is a disciple of his life lessons, having successfully started and built to sell his own business. Let Michael help you achieve your goals and avoid the expense and wasted time of learning these lessons the hard way."

“Michael and Mary Carli have been an integral part of the YMCA of the Suncoast for many years and have furthered the mission of the YMCA through their dedication and service to our organization. Michael volunteered his time and expertise as Board Chair at the North Pinellas branch YMCA and as Chair of the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast. The YMCA and the Carli’s have also enjoyed a long professional relationship. The Carli’s are professional, ethical and a true asset to the community.”

"We have known Michael and Mary Carli for many years, both as friends and service providers and, during that time, their professionalism, quality of service, attention to detail and follow-up have truly been “top notch.”  You will never find more trusting and knowledgeable business associates than the Carli’s."

Jim Marshall

"After working  with independently owned businesses for the last 35 years I have seen them in all various shapes, sizes and levels.  I have seen what they have done right and wrong.  I watched Michael Carli grow his own business from the bottom to the top and can say first hand he did things the right way.  I told him that some day he should get to a position where he can share his knowledge and experiences with the rest of the businesses out there.  I am so happy that he and Mary have chosen to do what they were meant to do, helping small business owners.  I have recommended several people to the Carlis and they are very satisfied with the advice they received."

"As the real estate home inspection market returns, Michael and Mary’s business advice has helped me get not only back up to speed, but well ahead of where I would have been on my own. For the first time in awhile I feel I have control over my business. Their attention to my business allows me to focus on providing my clients the best home inspections in the area – while knowing that I have a business strategy in place, obtainable goals and a strong support team in place. My sincere thanks to the Carli Group for bringing your professionalism and many years of their own business experience to my Pillar To Post home inspection business."
