Why nonprofit and hospice leaders trust our team

"At High Peaks Hospice there are two priorities that drive everything we do. Our 1st Priority is caring for patients at the level where every patient feels like they are the most important person in the world. Our 2nd Priority is maintaining our business so that we can continue fulfilling our 1st Priority. Universal Bookkeeper has been instrumental in helping us meet our 2nd Priority. I have met with Justin just about weekly for the past six years. Everyone at Universal Bookkeeper we’ve worked with has helped in some way with the care of our business. The strength of a good relationship isn’t about major milestones but the ongoing conversations that focus on what is important to our business, hospice. It’s about sharing experiences learned from other hospices and other businesses, listening, and honoring the decisions our business makes. High Peaks Hospice and Universal Bookkeeper have enjoyed a strong and successful relationship that will continue well into the future."

"Working with Universal Bookkeeper has been a very positive experience. Justin and his team are precise, efficient, and have saved Hospice & Palliative Care both time and money. They are readily available should I have questions and have assisted me with all aspects of bookkeeping and accounting. I would highly recommend their services."

I have the pleasure of working with several different men and women from Universal Bookkeeper for over 12 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.

We have been clients of Universal Bookkeeper for 6 years. Justin, Beth, and their team help our small Healthcare organization manage our finances in a way that allows us to put all of our focus on the quality of the care we are providing to our community. All of the staff at Universal Bookkeeper are friendly, knowledgeable, and timely! We could not be happier!

"I can not be more happy with my experience at UB. As a business owner, you will be busy, very busy. Having a team at UB to keep an eye on the financial side of your business & tax planning is amazing. Their team is top notch and I suggest you check them out."

"The standout quality of Universal Bookkeepers is their responsiveness. No matter the inquiry or request, their team is always prompt and thorough in providing answers and solutions. Their ability to deliver accurate financial reports in a timely manner has given us confidence in our financial decision-making. Beyond basic bookkeeping, Universal Bookkeepers actively seeks ways to streamline internal controls and identify cost-saving opportunities. Their proactive approach has helped us improve efficiency, reduce unnecessary expenses, and ultimately enhance our financial health. Their commitment to optimizing our financial processes demonstrates their genuine investment in our success. Their team is always willing to help, taking the time to explain complex financial matters in a way that is easy to grasp. Their customer-focused approach makes every interaction a pleasure."

"Universal Bookkeeper does a fantastic job at helping our not-for-profit maintain it's books and records and provide audit support. They are knowledgeable about new accounting pronouncements. They provide support by looking for potential grants. During our quarterly meetings, they really open up discussions about the business and what we ourselves can do to help it grow. I would highly recommend Universal Bookkeeper for all the accounting needs of any organization."
