About Us
MS Bookkeeping & Accounting Services (or MS-BAS for short) was founded to fill a market need for knowledgeable, accurate, timely, and high-value bookkeeping services overseen by an experienced accountant and finance professional. In strategic discussions with business owners of all sizes and in multiple industries, we consistently heard from business owners:
“It’s hard to find someone to provide day-to-day, reliable, and high-quality book keeping these days.”
“My bookkeeper doesn’t really understand my business. I need someone who asks the right questions to make sure my books really reflect what’s going on in my business.
“The large bookkeeping firms are too expensive for my business right now - I want a bookkeeper that will grow with me.”
In response, we created our services to fill these needs, providing bookkeeping by professionals with practical business knowledge as well as accounting and finance expertise, to free your time to focus on building and running your business.
Whether you just need monthly bookkeeping activities, are ready for more controls in your business to reduce risk and manage growth, or want to explore your next steps, we can help you at every step in your journey.
