Our Story
Universal Bookkeeper was founded by Justin and Beth Miller. This dynamic husband and wife duo share a love for numbers and our local area. After years of daydreaming about starting their own business, they decided to take the plunge and create a business plan that would allow small businesses to thrive and grow- by offering financial support and guidance to our local entrepreneurs. By combining their deep-rooted passion to help businesses in our community, and over a decade of accounting and customer service experience, Universal Bookkeeper in just over one year grew to be the standalone business for the Miller family- with Justin serving as CEO, and Beth serving as COO. With a new office building and a team of 5, Universal Bookkeeper is expanding and flourishing. It’s exciting stuff!

What Our Clients are Saying
Mark Harlander
We have worked with the team at Universal Bookkeeper for multiple years with our taxes. With their knowledge and expertise, we have been able to maximize our refund with no hassle. Thanks to Covid, they have implemented new ways to meet and file without meeting face-to-face. We will continue working with them in the future.
