In our office, we work very closely with clients and responding to phone and email questions allows me to learn something new almost every day.
I came to bookkeeping in a roundabout way. With my B.S. in Computer Science and a management information programming job in an aerospace company, I soon realized my chosen profession was not a good fit for a mom. Long work and commute hours meant very little time during the week to spend with my child.
When Jeff offered me the temporary opportunity to set up a new computer and software system for his accounting practice in 1986, I jumped at the chance to regain control of my work schedule. As long as I was here, it made sense that I did the bookkeeping and payroll for the practice, giving Jeff more time to spend on client services. From there, it was logical to cover for vacationing employees. Flash forward 40+ years and I still love my “temporary” and now part time position. The thing that surprised me the most about becoming a bookkeeper is how much it suits me and how varied and interesting the work can be. I have always loved working with numbers and balancing a spreadsheet is like solving a puzzle. Keeping the balance between interpersonal client contact, online research, and heads-down computer work makes my office hours fly.
