About Michael
Michael Torres is a Certified Public Accountant with 15 years of experience in public accounting and financial systems consulting. He holds a QuickBooks ProAdvisor Level 3 certification — the highest tier offered by Intuit — and has trained more than 200 accountants and business owners on QuickBooks Desktop and Online.
Michael works with Accountings Cart as an independent consulting reviewer — a role that's common across reputable software and finance publications. The idea is simple: having an outside CPA with no financial stake in our product sales review everything we publish keeps our content honest and accurate. He's not on our payroll and he doesn't earn commissions. His only job is to make sure what we tell you is correct.
Outside of his work with us, Michael runs his own accounting practice in Denver, where he helps small and mid-size businesses implement accounting systems, clean up messy books, and build financial processes that actually work. He's seen just about every QuickBooks configuration imaginable — from a one-person freelancer to a 30-employee construction company. If you're trying to figure out which version is right for you, his reviewed article on buying QuickBooks Desktop without a subscription is a great place to start. That real-world experience is exactly why we brought him on as a reviewer.
As our lead expert reviewer, Michael reads every guide and article before it's published to ensure technical accuracy, proper procedures, and up-to-date information. If something is wrong or misleading, he catches it. If a step could be clearer, he flags it. His goal is simple: make sure everything on this site is something he'd be comfortable recommending to his own clients.
When Michael signs off on an article, you can trust that the information is accurate and the advice is sound. That independent verification is what sets our content apart.
