Today we’d like to introduce you to Maria Solis.
Hi Maria, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Solis Business Service LLC began with a simple goal: to provide reliable, personalized support to individuals and small businesses navigating their financial and administrative needs.
I started as a one-person operation, helping friends and local entrepreneurs with bookkeeping, tax preparation, and clerical services. Word of mouth spread quickly because of my commitment to accuracy, professionalism, and treating every client like family.
Over time, Solis Business Service LLC grew into a full-service support company. Today, we offer a range of services — from tax preparation and payroll management to business consulting and administrative support — designed to free up our clients’ time so they can focus on what they do best.
What has never changed is our core value: personalized service and trust. Whether it’s an individual needing help with their 1040 tax return or a growing business looking for back-office support, we bring the same care and attention to every project.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Like most small businesses, building Solis Business Service LLC has come with its share of challenges. In the early days, the biggest struggle was balancing limited resources with big goals. There were times when managing cash flow, keeping up with changing tax laws, and building a steady client base all at once felt overwhelming.
Another challenge was wearing many hats — being not only the service provider, but also the marketer, the bookkeeper, and the customer service team. Learning to juggle those roles while still delivering high-quality work to clients was a real test of patience and perseverance.
But each challenge became a lesson. Overcoming slow seasons taught us the value of planning ahead. Navigating complex client situations pushed us to sharpen our skills. And facing obstacles head-on reinforced why we started in the first place — to help others by providing trustworthy, professional support.
Every hurdle has shaped us into a stronger, more resilient business. The road hasn’t always been smooth, but it has absolutely been worth it.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
At Solis Business Service LLC, we specialize in providing reliable tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, and administrative support for individuals and small businesses. Our goal is to take the stress out of financial and clerical tasks so our clients can focus on what matters most — running their business and living their lives with peace of mind.
We’re best known for our personalized approach. Unlike larger firms where clients can feel like just a number, we build lasting relationships by listening carefully, explaining things clearly, and tailoring solutions to each client’s unique situation.
One of the things we’re most proud of is the trust we’ve earned from our community. Many of our clients come to us through referrals — a reflection of the quality, honesty, and consistency we deliver.
What sets us apart is our combination of professional expertise and personal care. We don’t just file forms or crunch numbers; we educate, guide, and support our clients through every step. For us, success is not just about getting the job done — it’s about helping people feel confident and supported in their financial journey.
Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned while building Solis Business Service LLC is that you don’t have to do it alone. Finding a mentor or building a strong network can save you years of trial and error.
For mentorship, my advice is to look for people who not only have expertise in your field, but who also share your values. A good mentor doesn’t just give technical advice — they guide you on mindset, decision-making, and long-term vision. Don’t be afraid to reach out to people you admire; many experienced professionals are more open to mentoring than you might think.
When it comes to networking, what has worked best for me is showing up consistently and offering value first. Attending local business associations, Chamber of Commerce events, or small business workshops opened doors to new relationships. Online communities, like LinkedIn groups, have also been powerful for connecting with like-minded professionals.
Most importantly, approach networking as building genuine relationships, not just making transactions. When you focus on trust and collaboration, opportunities naturally follow.
