Diane has been doing our account payable, receivable, and some payroll functions for nearly a year. She's reliable, knowledgeable, and accurate. Our QuickBooks is much more accurate, and so are our files. Our vendors are paid in a more timely fashion. I wish we had her working here sooner. More...

Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
Bookkeepers and accountants are not the same, and both are important to your business. Bookkeepers focus on daily, weekly, and/or monthly tasks. They provide information that allows you to keep track of cash flow, pay your bills, and bill your clients. A bookkeeper can also do your payroll, reconcile your bank account and credit card statements, and handle the sales tax payments. Bookkeepers free you from handling tedious financial tasks so you can focus on running your business. An accountant, or CPA, has a higher level of expertise. They provide analysis, certified year end financial statement preparation, tax returns, and deal with the IRS. Think of the accountant as your money's doctor, and the bookkeeper as the nurse.
What do you love most about your job?
I enjoy working with numbers and computers., but the thing I love most is the ability to work the days and hours I choose remotely from my own location.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I worked a tax season as a temporary for an accountant who suggested I strike out on my own, and told me he could get me started with few small home based businesses that were in need of help. Buoyed by the knowledge that I would have clients to start off with, I took him up on the offer and have been growing the business ever since.
Why should our clients choose you?
Diane's Bookkeeping is the best choice because we've been in business for over ten years, and have excellent references. We aren't some fly by night freelancer who will leave you hanging as soon as they find a full time office job. We have the knowledge and expertise to do the work correctly; we won't leave you with an incorrectly recorded mess.
