Our story
Founded in 2013, on a simple frustration
Accounting Assist Pro was founded by a small group of accountants and payroll specialists who kept seeing the same problem: growing businesses spending nights and weekends fighting spreadsheets instead of running their companies. We started as a two-person bookkeeping shop working out of a shared office. Today we support hundreds of small and mid-sized businesses across the country — from single-location retailers to multi-state contractors — without losing the personal, plain-English approach we started with. What drives us
Mission, vision, and the values behind every ledger
