Client Testimonials

“Within a few weeks, I went from having a box full of papers that I’d just thrown in there throughout the year, to file folders for each month, my QuickBooks all up to date, and everything ready for me to prepare my taxes. It was unbelievable. Honestly, I don’t know what I would have done with Third Hand Secretarial Service.”
CW – Small Business Owner

“Linda does a very thorough and complete job. She has a terrific attitude and she always lets me know her time constraints; she never promises something she can’t deliver.”
AN – Business Coach

“I like Linda’s ability to be a forward thinker, her positive “can-do” attitude and how quickly she ‘hit the ground running’ with any task I sent her to do.”
NB – Event Planner

“I hired Linda upon the recommendation of a colleague who has used her extensively. Her commitment to quality, attention to detail and responsiveness is unsurpassed. She is honest, has integrity and is dedicated to completing the work in a timely and professional fashion. I would recommend Linda in a heartbeat and will certainly utilize her services again when the time comes.”
LS – Medical Writer

“When it comes to project tracking, Linda keeps track of the project calendar and deadlines and offers suggestions to improve the project outcomes. Linda is a colleague and an ally who always puts our needs first and foremost. When she comes across an article or a website that she thinks will be of interest to me or my business, she sends it to me. She has a special knack. . .a personal touch. . .that is very special.”
MG – Chef

“I love Linda! She has typed up manuals for us at the last minute. She has entered thousands of customer names into our database. She has helped us with our monthly newsletter. She is very reliable and timely!
LK – Sales Trainer

“What a burden to have lifted! It allows me to put my energy into being the best Coach I can be….rather than into administrative work. I could not possibly market as thoroughly and consistently as I do now without Linda’s help! She handles large projects effortlessly and often offers new ideas. I thoroughly enjoy working with this ‘easy- to-work with’ and dedicated professional!”
FS – Coach

“Linda is a major asset to our non-profit. She keeps everything pulled together and she is a wealth of information to keep us up and running well!”
LM – Cancer Support Non-Profit

“We have been working with Linda Siniscal for several years. She has completed a variety of critical projects for us including: Internet research, editing, presentation-quality documents, and more. Linda will be handling our client calls and emails when we go on vacation (finally!) and basically, we feel that Linda will be there for us regardless of our business needs. Never in my 25 years in business have I worked with someone as skilled, agreeable, courteous, and prompt. It is a pleasure working with Linda every time. I would highly recommend her, but I’m not sure I want to share! Seriously, she’s the best.”
WS – Internet Research Co.

“We utilize Third Hand Secretarial Service for all of our bookkeeping and filing of financial documents and records. Linda interfaces with our accountant and produces weekly reports that enable me to monitor the direction of the company. Behind her role as bookkeeper, Linda monitors trends and lets me know if something seems amiss. Her real concern for the interest of my company has made owning and running a small business that much more bearable.”
MM – Weed Control Co.

“Maintaining and building our relationship with THSS has been one of the best business decisions we have made. For years, we were able to operate economically as a virtual company without clients ever suspecting that our employees were not all in the same building sitting down the hall from one other. We credit this, in large part, to THSS. Linda helped us portray ourselves as a larger company, enhancing not only our image and professionalism but always servicing SciMed’s clients as if they were THSS clients. THSS provided not only secretarial services but invaluable editorial, project management, and accounting expertise.”
KH – Medical Writer

“I could not run my business without Linda! I’ve been in business 11 years and have worked with Linda 10 years. She provides way more than a secretarial service. Dictation, typing, bookkeeping, design, word processing, research, editing, communicating with clients, seminars, and conference registrations, just to name a few.”
WH – Business Coach

“I’ve been working with Linda since early 2007. While her business name implies that she does secretarial work, she is so much more than that…she’s been a sounding board, an idea generator and a terrific cheerleader.

When I’m up against a particular business challenge, I can trust that Linda will have a recommendation (or two, or three). I’ve recommended her to many of my colleagues.”
JD – Business Consultant

“For over a year now, our all-volunteer organization has used the services of ‘Third Hand’. It’s hard to think of a better use of our funds. Linda is able to accomplish in a nanosecond what it used to take us hours to do.

Not only is she incredibly efficient and accurate, she anticipates what we might need. This is a huge benefit to an organization. It’s like she’s a mind reader.

I recommend Linda’s services enthusiastically and without reservation!”
BW – Non-profit organization

“Third Hand is a pleasure to work with! The work is accurate, fast and reasonably priced but best of all, Linda is always pleasant and friendly with a “can do” attitude. We’d recommend Third Hand Secretarial Service strongly… and do!”
WS – Research company

“I cannot speak highly enough of Linda as she has not only provided secretarial services but has been a source of advice on many issues such as operating QuickBooks or preparing Excel files. Linda has a range of skills that are valuable to the small business owner. Her skills range from understanding many different software programs to preparing documents in an accurate and timely way. However, over and above this is Linda’s willingness to help with projects which are out of the ordinary.”
MM – Real Estate Investor

“Linda does all my letters and she designs spreadsheets. She is always professional and her work is perfect. I give her a lot of spaghetti and meatballs and she straightens it all out for me!”
RM – Home Contractor

“Linda also has helped me research the best price available on some office equipment and has handled travel arrangements for me. I would recommend her services to anyone who is weighted down by their own personal or small-business bookkeeping, or anyone who is trying to get all the “small tasks” off their desk and out of their e-mail inbox. She’s fabulous!”
JL – Coach

“Linda comes in here and she inputs the bills, pays the bills, and does payroll. She does a great job for us, saves me time and does a far better job that I could do. She is very easy to work with.”
CN – Environmental Co.
