  One of the things I have learned as a business leader is that growing a business often means recognizing when you need to let go of certain things…even the things you’ve gotten used to doing yourself.

For me, bookkeeping was one of those things.

I first met Marsha Thayer through the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, and I am so grateful that our paths crossed there!  What started as a connection through the program has grown into a relationship that has made a real difference in my business.

As our organization grew, I found myself spending more and more time reconciling accounts, digging through transactions, and making sure the books were in order. Those things are important, but I began to realize that the hours I was spending in the details were hours I wasn’t spending thinking strategically about the organization.

That’s where Marsha and her team at Keeping the Books have been such a gift.

Bringing them in has given me back something incredibly valuable as a business owner: time to think.

Instead of spending hours reconciling accounts, I can spend more time looking at the bigger picture — understanding what the numbers are telling us, thinking through the financial impact of decisions, planning for growth, and asking better questions about where we want the organization to go.
For a growing business, bringing in a bookkeeper can feel like a big decision. It’s easy to think, “I can keep doing this myself.”

But I’ve learned that sometimes the smartest investment you can make is getting the right people in place so you can focus your time where it matters most.

For me, the return hasn’t just been cleaner books.

It’s been more time to lead, more clarity around our financial decisions, and more space to think strategically about the future of the organization.

  KTBNE did NOT disappoint. Fast, efficient, honest, and strong communication. I felt at ease the entire time. Very satisfied with my experience and will be using them to keep my books monthly going forward. Thank you so much for taking this over! Such a massive help.

  Owning a small company now for thirty plus years has had its challenges.  Success goes hand in hand with failure.  The trick is to maximize the first and minimize the latter.  No solution for success can proceed without an accurate, up to date financial assessment of our books.  Sales forecast, supply chain logistics, order fulfillment, tax and employee obligations do not just magically take care of themselves.  The successful stewardship of all financial process has be promptly and professionally address by our bookkeeping service, Keeping the Books NE LLC.  Previous year financial clean up of our books from a lesser company, immediate access for the latest "emergency" , proactive "what if" suggestions to avert problems and seemeless integration with our CPA firm are but some of the highlights.  I as a transplant Bostonian give this RI firm a hearty two thumbs up!!!

  Marsha and Veronica helped clean up a very complicated and urgent set of bookkeeping and tax issues for my small business. They both were very knowledgeable and focused on the goals we set. I have continued to rely on them for accurate and timely bookkeeping services. I can't say enough good things about Marsha and Veronica at Keeping The Books NE.

  I can’t say enough about Marsha and Veronica at Keeping the Books. After 25+ years of writing everything in a Dome book for my rental, I decided to take a chance on handing it over to Marsha. She got to work on a year’s worth of records and it’s the best decision I made. She’s kept me on top of things!!  Thank you, Marsha.

  What was originally intended for financial support with a pending business venture unexpectedly became a beneficial discovery!

The level of professionalism, experience and knowledge Marcia and Veronica demonstrated during our initial meeting far exceeded anything I could have expected.

They had me at “we prefer a very straightforward approach and believe in consistently communicating with our clients to ensure accuracy.” It’s rare to see that type of work ethic lately and I hope more businesses and employees see the positive impact this type of approach has!!

Despite the fact that I ultimately wasn’t able to become a client with Keeping The Books NE, the fact that I no longer have to look for a competent accounting/bookkeeping firm when I need one gives me peace of mind words cannot describe!

I can’t recommend this business enough!
Tell them Ann sent you… lol 😁 😂

  After 20 plus years of doing my own bookkeeping with Quickbooks desktop I took the plunge with Marsha at Keeping the Books. She helped me to transfer over to Quickbooks online and my only regret is not meeting her 20 years ago!  Marsha has streamlined my business so I now have all the necessary information at my fingertips.  She also worked with me to clean up all of the mistakes I made over the years due to my lack of experience with bookkeeping.  With Marsha's incredible skills I am now able to focus on what i do best and leave the accounting to her!  I truly can't believe the difference this move has made for my business and I highly recommend working with Keeping the Books NE LLC!

 recommends When we first opened up our brokerage, Marsha immediately reached out to offer her services. One of the best decisions we made was 1. Hiring a bookkeeper and 2. Hiring Marsha as we already knew she had a proven track record at one of the largest brokerages in RI.  She has kept our books neat and orderly ever since!  When it comes to running a business, the last thing you want is mis management of your expenditures and Marsha makes sure that DOES NOT happen.  Do yourself a favor and leave it up to a professional like Marsha!😀

 recommends Our company manufatures research equipment and while we are considered a small business our bookkeeping  needs are not small. The majority of our sales are overseas so accurate record keeping is important and tracking overseas payments can get complicated so when we were looking for a bookkeeper it needed to be someone detail oriented.         

When Marsha started with us our books were not in great shape and many items where overlooked or not addresses by our previous bookkeeper. This didn't intimidate Marsha at all, she jumped in with both feet.

She purged years of old documents out of our current files and archived the important items. She reconciled our state tax records and made sure we were current, which had not been done by our previous bookkeeper. She cleaned up our Quickbooks files correcting previous items and preparing the year end documents for our accountant.

When she finished taking care of the urgent items, she started on ways to stream line our accounting processes making them more efficent.

Her attention to details has proven to be a great asset to us. As an example, she reviews our financial accounts everytime she does work for us. That attention to detail allowed her to spot fraudulent checks posted to one of our accounts the day they were posted.This allowed us to contact the bank before the checks were funded potentially saving us tens of thousand of dollars.

If your looking for a detail oriented bookkeeper who is not afraid to take on tough tasks Marsha from "Keeping The Books NE, LLC is an excellent choice
