If you’re looking for bookkeeping services for small businesses, you know that running a business is no small feat. If you’re like most entrepreneurs, you didn’t start your business with dreams of reconciling transactions or organizing receipts at midnight. You launched your business because you had a vision, a product, or a service that you believed in. But like so many others, you probably discovered that managing your books quickly became a time-consuming and stressful task.
That’s exactly why I started Keeping the Books NE, LLC.
A Fresh Start Built on Integrity
In 2022, I left a high-paying position in a company where I saw firsthand how clients were misled and ethical standards took a backseat to profit. I knew I could do better. So, with just a laptop, a QuickBooks subscription, a small loan for office space, and a few Facebook ads, I set out to build something different, something trustworthy.
My mission was simple: take the weight of bookkeeping off the shoulders of business owners so they could focus on what they do best—growing their business.
More Than Bookkeeping—We’re Financial Partners
Keeping the Books NE isn’t just about balancing numbers or categorizing expenses. We dig deep to help clients understand what’s really happening in their business. We analyze trends, identify red flags, and give clear, actionable insights that help business owners make informed decisions with confidence.
