Overview and Experience
James is our team lead bookkeeper who found a passion for the practice while majoring in engineering at Georgia Southern University. He enjoyed it so much that he changed majors to Business Management Entrepreneurship with a minor in accounting so he could not only provide insight into the books but also provide business advice for the entrepreneur and small business owners.
He grew up in a family of entrepreneurs with landscape and HVAC companies and spent weekends and summers working and learning the front line business. Often times during the year he would be involved with running the back office with scheduling and helping to manage the accounting and taxes and saw the impact that the stress of the back office caused on family life. That caused him to want to get involved and reduce that stress for others in the industry so they can gain time back with their families and their customers!
I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs and spent weekends and summers working, learning the frontline work. Many times I would also help in the office and experienced difficulties in managing both the front line and the back office at the same time. Working in this back office environment and helping one of my uncles with his employment agency, I realized how difficult it was to keep the bookkeeping records in order so that taxes went smoothly. I watched as many hours were spent trying to catch up on the business data with my father and uncles missing out on valuable time with the family.
My aunt who was in the Real Estate business carried all her financial records for the year with no backups in the back seat of her car. If she lost the box or any of the records what would she do?
After seeing the struggles my family had in these two industries with their records management it became obvious that I should use my education and help those that are in similar situations.
