purchasing the required equipment, creating customer contracts and work orders, setting up the
accounting system, as well as establishing competitive pricing strategies. By 2006, with well
over 1,200 customers in our database, the large volume of shredded paper made it feasible to
expand and build a new baling facility which made us the only on-site shredding service in the
area that processed shredded paper internally for shipment to recycling mills. Our reputation
and stronghold in the local community lead to an offer from Cintas Document Management to
acquire North Bay Document Shredding early in 2013. Acquisition was completed on May 1,
2013.

Sheets and Statement of Cash Flows. As well as General Ledger reconciliation for year-end
tax preparations.
• Integrated Veri-Shred software for use in producing work orders at a customer’s site and
imported that data into MAS90 to produce invoices. Produced approximately 28-32 invoices
per day. Utilizing this integration method saved 3 - 3.5 hours a day in processing paperwork.
• Have experience in the use of EFTPS and the EDD’s websites for the filing of payroll tax
forms 940, 941 and DE-9 for both quarterly and year-end tax filings.

on the sale of our shredded paper. This revenue accounted for 25% of our annual sales.
