"Saved Money"
Tobin and his staff are a pleasure to work with and are very accommodating to the needs of my business. Since contracting with Keeping The Books, my business has saved money in payroll expenses and our financial reports are updated to the penny every week. Tobin has streamlined our frequently used portions of QuickBooks and has proven himself as a QuickBooks pro. I do not frequently endorse another business, but when it comes to recommending Keeping The Books, I cannot say enough.

"Always Proactive"
It is a true pleasure working with Keeping The Books, who provides regular finance oversight for my small business. Over the past few months in working with Tobin, I've been quite impressed with his ability to execute so well on a part-time basis. Tobin consistently completes more for us in 2 half days/week as a contractor then what a typical employee-based Controller/Bookkeeper accomplishes full-time. I appreciate how well versed Tobin is in all aspects of managing administrative operations. He is extremely organized, efficient with his time, knowledgeable, has great follow-thru, and is always proactive in finding ways to help improve our finances. Without question, I would recommend Tobin to any small business owner who needs someone to come in and hit the ground running. Tobin's your man!

"Professional and Dependable"
We have been working with Tobin since December 2008. In the beginning we were skeptical about taking a full time position down to one day a week. We were wrong. Tobin immediately recognized some deficiencies in our accounting practices. With his recommendation we decided to rebuild our cumbersome outdated QuickBooks database, increasing our efficiency from day one. The transition from the old system to the new was seamless. Hiring Tobin made "cents" for us. I have found Tobin to be easy to work with, professional and dependable. We would recommend he and Keeping The Books highly.

"It Makes Sense"
Many times it makes more sense to outsource your time-consuming bookkeeping activities. Keeping The Books brings a bookkeeping service that allows small businesses to focus on "revenue-generating" activities. Tobin can step right in and be an efficient, reliable & professional solution to handling your bookkeeping.

"Easy to Work With"

"Efficient and Economical"
Keeping the Books did an excellent job of getting our books together. Tobin was far more efficient and economical than our previous bookkeepers. He and his staff are personable, resourceful, professional, and great at providing a better product for a lower price. I would not hesitate to recommend Tobin and Keeping The Books to any business.

"Knowledge, Convenience and Experience"
When we enlisted the assistance of Keeping the Books in 2008 we were debating whether to hire a bookkeeper or contract with a bookkeeping company. We went with Keeping The Books because of their knowledge, convenience and experience and to avoid going though the training time required with a new employee. We are pleased with the services Keeping The Books has provided.
