Testimonials
“Travis is a leader in all aspects of life. He has helped me grow professionally and socially over the past year and a half. He is completely selfless and a joy to be around. His attitude transfers to his business and can be seen by the amount of effort he pours into his client meetings every day. He is isn't comfortable with being "fine" he wants to be "great."

“Travis will do well in any position where he has contact with people. Travis is a people person and sitting behind a desk is not what I would consider Travis's strengths. Travis has the ability to create relationships with everyone he runs across because of his genuine caring for others.”
~Bob Taylor, Realtor, Keller Williams Realty “Which would you rather choose for a prospective colleague: one who is a great motivator, a team player and a loyal, trusted friend? Or one who thinks outside the box, marches to the beat of a different drummer, and gets things done? Fortunately, if you have selected Travis, you don't need to make that choice because he embodies both arenas. He simply is the best.” ~E. David Migocki, MSW, PhD, Doctoral Program Director, Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine “I was a member of the Board of Directors of the Camarillo, CA Boys and Girls Club for over 27 years. Travis joined the staff during a period of transitions of multiple Club Presidents. He provided continuity of programs during a turbulent time while designing and executing events and activities of high quality for kids spanning the whole range of ages being served. He was the "go-to" person whenever there was an opportunity to reach out to the community and he never declined a request for help ...his answer was always..."we can do it". We were sorry to see him located out of our area.” ~Sol Chooljian, Principal Consultant, Chooljian & Associates “I had the opportunity of working with Travis, as both a vendor and a Board member, when he was with The Boys & Girls Club of Camarillo. They were trying times and Travis was a rock. He did a great job with the staff, the board and most important - the kids.” ~Scott Harris, President, Mustang Marketing “Travis has an affect intrinsic and manifest in his commitment to the clients he serves. It has been my great privilege to know Travis and to have worked with him over the years. In every situation involving my company's promotion of public opinion, Travis was exemplary. My only complaint, he lives in Iowa now and not So. California.” ~Mike Hobbs, President, Mortech Financial Group I am writing to strongly recommend Travis Carlsen and One Source Tax & Accounting Services. Mr. Carlsen has been handling my account since the first day I started my real estate partnership 4 years ago. Mr. Carlsen’s combination of skill, experience and intuition is exactly what I had been looking for in an accountant. Additionally, his professionalism and ethics are superb. One Source provides a comprehensive financial bookkeeping service and guidance that matches my business and financial needs. I now insist that One Source handle all of our bookkeeping, tax planning and preparation. I truly would not trust our business or family finances with anyone else, and we recommend him to anyone seeking a competent, trustworthy accountant. ~Mike Saliba, CEO, North Central Properties |
