Testimonials
Over the years I had been doing my own accounting work and as the business was growing and we were raising money I needed to get help with the monthly accounting. Shannon and her team jumped in and helped automate the banking and credit card processing. She guided me through the steps to transfer the work from my desk to her teams. Now I have my month ends closed out by the 10th of each month and I can spend my time reviewing our performance rather than doing to work myself. If I have changes or questions, I simply direct them to Shannon and her team. My overall experience with Shannon and her team is great! I am confident that the accounting will be accurate and timely. I would recommend Shannon and the Pier 52 team to any business that wants to off-load the accounting to someone who is professional, timely and competent.

Before working with Pier 52 Bookkeeping I felt like I didn’t have an easy way of overseeing and managing our company accounts. Our systems were outdated and we had not kept up with the fast development of online banking and integration tools. CCJ did not have the time nor resources to take that task on internally. Shannon and her team are passionate about helping their clients with whatever needs to be done. With a rather complex booking system and several accounts to track, Pier 52 Bookkeeping did not shy away from the challenge. They were patient, kind, knowledgeable and most importantly, Shannon brought some humor and laughter into an otherwise drab part of the work. I never wake up in the middle of the night freaking out about how my money is managed, or if we will have enough to make it through the month. With Pier52Bookkeepoing as our financial team, we can focus on what matters most to us, and what we are good at, which is developing amazing travel itineraries and intercultural experiences around the world. Pier 52 Bookkeeping takes a calm, competent, and patient approach to whatever is in front of them. I would highly recommend Pier 52 Bookkeeping to small and medium sized business as well as startups who are struggling with getting their financial books in order.

I am a small business owner, but not a bookkeeper! I approached Pier52 with a few questions to round out my end of year reports and they were timely and incredibly helpful. Not only did they solve a couple of puzzles, they taught me what to watch out for next time. I finished the year off with confidence, and now I know who to contact when questions come up!

The best way I can describe my reason to engage Pier 52 Bookkeeping was in realization of the need to drain the swampy unfiltered pool, that was my finances. I had no division between my personal and business accounts, taxes were an anxiety best avoided and delayed for as long as possible. I felt so overwhelmed and so much uncertainty in the murky waters. Shannon from Pier 52 Bookkeeping offered me a non-judgmental filter to start cleaning the waters. I find it amazing how much clarity I get from each monthly meeting. The work Shannon and her team does helps me frame new goals, make a list of tasks I need to complete , understand my financial situation in reality, understand how much I’m spending / making on different categories, catch unusual charges, compare months , and years with actual data, not emotional expectation. Another benefit of pier 52 bookkeeping is taxes are a breeze. The clarity pier 52 gives me is invaluable to my financial / emotional wellbeing. Thank you Shannon.

While a good problem to have, our business grew quickly, and we knew that sourcing out our bookkeeping was a necessity. We were lucky enough to find Shannon at Pier 52 Bookkeeping, coming to our rescue over three years ago. As someone who likes to be hands on, I had my reservations about providing someone new the access needed to do this job. Shannon quickly and skillfully put me at ease. Shannon spent a lot of time walking me through the process so that I understood it on a fundamental level. All of my needs have been met with skillfulness and positivity. It has been a game changer knowing I can trust the person handling this aspect of running a business, making it the priority at Pier 52 Bookkeeping. I highly recommend her services to all in need of an attentive bookkeeper.
