I run a boutique social media marketing and photography business in Chicago. I needed an accountant desperately to clean up my books from the past three years and balance everything month over month. I love Stephanie and her team so much because it's something I no longer have to do. They balanced everything perfect for my taxes and keep my books organized every month, as well as alert me to the things that need my attention. So happy I found this service, highly recommend.
Our small business has been using Steph's Bookkeeping for 2 years now and we have nothing but good things to say. We've worked with both Steph and now Grace, and the both are very responsive and have provided a ton of guidance and support that we find invaluable. As a small-business owner, we wear many hats and there is peace-of-mind knowing our financial records are well accounted for.
If you're a small business owner and think that you're going to manage your own books, even on a platform as intuitive as Quickbooks, I strongly recommend you don't and let the experts at Steph's Bookkeeping do it for you.

I run a small health care practice in a rural area of East Central Illinois for nearly 25 years. In the last 5 years, I’ve outsourced book-keeping— “leaving it to the professionals” instead of continuing to do work that I’m not good at (also another layer of work as both a physician and business owner). Steph’s has been the best solution yet! She was able to dive right in and eventually assigned my account to Melanie. I continue to do payroll and my local CPA continues to do the taxes.The ongoing book work was a hole that has been filled to my satisfaction. Steph’s team is professional, polite and prompt despite my occasional delays in communication.. I plan to be a long-term client and grateful for this service.
Stephanie has been handling our bookkeeping for a couple of years. They are responsive, flexible, and detail-oriented. We are a growing company that requires some extra attention and they have always taken care of us.
My company has used Steph's Bookkeeping for many years. They take the stress & time of bookkeeping off our plates so we can focus on serving our customers! 🙂 They are a professional, kind & competent business & we highly recommend them!
