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.

"At Lafa, our expertise is in serving healthy Mediterranean food to our community, but the economics behind running a successful restaurant are just as critical as crafting fresh, delicious meals. In our early years, profitability was shaky, and we needed help to get a solid grip on the financial side of the business or else we would not be in business for very much longer. Our partnership with Universal Bookkeeper has been essential to the success of our restaurant. For the past 3 1/2 years, Justin, Beth, and the Team at Universal Bookkeeper has helped us navigate the complex world of restaurant finances, providing expert guidance on long term financial planning, cash flow, tax planning, among others. With their support, we've gained control of our finances, which has allowed us to thrive and continue doing what we love—serving our community. We're grateful for this partnership and excited for what the future holds."
