Where it started
The problem
No website yet, and a name it shares with an unrelated French company.
Bassetti Consulting provides fractional and project-based controller services to growing businesses, led by Rob Bassetti, CPA, with 15+ years of experience. It had no website.
A new site starts with no history in Google and nothing for an assistant to quote, and this one shares its name with BASSETTI Group, an unrelated French company that already ranks for it.
