ASK LORI, Inc. was started due to the overwhelming need for small businesses to have available to them a reliable, resourceful, on-call office staff.  With the knowledge of how to "Do It All", ASK LORI was a natural progression in my ever expanding roles. 

      I can't tell you how many times I'd hear, "ASK LORI" being mentioned in the hallway, across the conference room, or in email correspondence at my past positions.  It is my hope to become that resource point for small businesses in the San Diego Area. 

     ASK LORI is here to assist you with any and all office needs.  From accounting and bookkeeping, to database and customer management.  Computer repairs, upgrades, and maintenance are all available services.
