Bookkeepers who
speak human.

A small studio of certified bookkeepers and payroll pros, keeping Austin's small businesses balanced since 2014.

Our story

Started in a coffee shop, built for Main Street

Maya Harlow started balancing books for neighbouring shops in 2014 — one laptop, one calculator, and a belief that small businesses deserve the same financial clarity as big ones. Daniel Birch joined two years later with a tax-season rescue service that had a three-month waiting list by March.

Today we're a twelve-person studio serving more than 240 businesses across Texas and beyond — but every client still gets a named bookkeeper, a fixed price, and numbers explained in plain English.

The team

Your books, familiar faces

A few of the humans behind the ledgers. Every client works with one of us directly — never a ticket queue.

How we work

Calm books in four steps

Say hello

A free 30-minute chat about your business, your books, and what's keeping you up at night.

We look under the hood

A fixed-price review of your current books — what's healthy, what's tangled, what it costs to fix.

We tidy & take over

Cleanup first if you need it, then weekly reconciliations and monthly reports on autopilot.

You run the business

One summary email a month, a human on call, and tax season as a single relaxed meeting.

Inside the Harlow and Birch studio — open desks, daylight, and room to talk books.

Come meet
your bookkeeper.

Tell us about your business and we'll match you with the right person on our team — no pressure, no jargon.
