About
Us
Story
We believe that every financial record tells a story. Our approach to bookkeeping goes beyond just managing numbers—it’s about understanding the narrative behind them. As a dedicated team, we are here to help you connect with that story, offering services that are both personalized and precise. This is a great space to share how our company was founded, what sets our approach apart, and what drives our passion for financial storytelling.
Who We Are
We are One For The Books, founded by Bethel Francis, whose journey began with a love for stories—how they unfold, teach, and connect us. As Bethel ventured into bookkeeping, it became clear that finances, much like stories, reveal patterns and growth. This unique perspective drives us to approach every client’s financials not just as numbers on a page, but as a narrative waiting to be understood.
Armed with the expertise and tools to streamline financial management, we offer more than just bookkeeping. We're here to help you see the story your finances are telling, to simplify the complex, and to ensure that every chapter of your business’s financial journey is clear and purposeful.
Working one-on-one with our clients, we take the time to listen and understand their needs. It’s not just about managing your books; it’s about being a part of your story, helping you navigate the financial side of your business with care and precision. Together, we’ll turn numbers into a narrative that empowers you to make informed decisions and reach your goals.
Vision
Our vision at One For The Books is to transform how businesses view their finances. We strive to create a world where financial management is not just about compliance but about empowerment and clarity. We aim to be trusted partners for small businesses and entrepreneurs, helping them to understand their financial story and make informed decisions that drive success. By blending the art of storytelling with the science of bookkeeping, we are committed to making your financial journey meaningful, transparent, and aligned with your goals.
