Not every organization has the resources to hire a full-time CFO, which is why outsourcing financial leadership has become a smart solution for many small businesses. At Universal Bookkeeper, we offer fractional CFO services tailored to your specific needs—providing expert financial guidance without the overhead of an in-house hire. Think of us as an extension of your team, offering strategic insights to help drive profitability, improve cash flow, and ensure long-term financial health.

What Our Clients are Saying

John Bartholomeo
Mohawk Valley Wellness

I have the pleasure of working with several different men and women from Universal Bookkeeper for over 9 years and have nothing but great things to say.  Justin & Beth Miller are rock stars. Their patience and unique perspective on things has helped me countless times in the past. I would recommend to anyone looking for Business or Personal Tax work. A big thanks to Justin, Beth and the entire team at U.B.

Nick Aunkst

In the constantly changing landscape of small business ownership, payroll was admittedly scary for us to approach. Working with the team at Universal Bookkeeper on our Gusto onboarding process was the best decision we could have made. The process was easy, intuitive, and honestly kind of fun! We’re now able to run payroll in minutes, which opens us up to more availability throughout our day. We couldn’t be more grateful for such a seamless integration into our already functioning systems.

“What sets Universal Bookkeeper apart is their adoption of internet-based technologies that make creating and retrieving information simple.  The ability to automate accounting-based processes has made operations smoother and that’s the way I like it.  Plus, they are just good people and that makes our interactions fun.”
