In the mid 90's the emergence of low cost "accounting" packages such as QuickBooks, Peachtree, MYOB, etc. created a new dilemma in accounting. Business owners were led to believe that by buying a $200 software package they could save tens of thousands of dollars in bookkeeping and accounting cost. The Intuit web site even states "NO ACCOUNTING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED". The results have led a staggering number of business owners to become frustrated by having to fill what has become a "bookkeeping void". The truth is that just because they were provided with the tools (a computer and the program) does not mean that they could replace the experience and knowledge required to create an accurate set of books. Although some businesses may be able to get away with it does not make it a sound business practice. Bookkeeping is essential in every business. It's the law, but more important is the valuable information that is needed in running the business. Accurate bank balances, aged accounts receivable and payable, inventory valuation, balance sheets and profit and loss statements, etc. are all tools successful businesses utilize.

The founder of Pro Bookkeepers, Joseph R. DiChiara is a CPA with over twenty years of experience working directly with small business owners. He has worked with hundreds of businesses and organizations through the years in setting up and compiling their business information. Mr. DiChiara was one of the first QuickBooks trainers on Long Island and recognized the drawbacks in trying to teach inexperienced individuals the mundane aspects of basic bookkeeping. "You can not replace experience with a software program." Do it yourself bookkeeping is inefficient and rife with potential problems. Business owners were duped into a false sense of security, often finding out to late that a vital piece of information was missing, bank balances out of whack, customers being double billed or not billed at all and accounts payable being paid twice. The money they thought they were saving was lost on inefficiency and poor record keeping.

Because Pro Bookkeepers has been developed specifically for the purpose of alleviating these problems, small business owners and organizations now have a reasonable alternative to meeting their basic bookkeeping, payroll and administrative requirements. The Pro Bookkeepers solution!
