WHY BOOKKEEP & PROSPER?

WHY CLOUD ACCOUNTING?
First off, what is cloud accounting? Cloud accounting is bookkeeping that can be done remotely through web-based accounting software. More traditional bookkeeping relies on a desktop software that is installed on a specific computer, usually a desktop in your business’s office. There's also still the pen/paper/actual book method of bookkeeping, but not many businesses use that method anymore.
In a nutshell, cloud accounting (outsourced bookkeeping) has the potential to be a more cost effective solution for your business. Additionally, it has the benefit of saving you time - time that would otherwise be spent training someone on the job, correcting mistakes, interpreting the books, etc. can now be devoted to growing your business.

I’m Conner Schryver and I founded Bookkeep & Prosper with a mission of creating more free time – not only for myself and my family, but also for my clients. Unless you’re a bookkeeper or accountant, you probably didn’t start a business because you want to sort through mountains of receipts at the end of every month (or year!). You’d rather get busy running your business. Of course, accurate financials are an important part of running a healthy business – how else do you know if you can afford that brand new [fill in the blank with some awesome new business purchase here!] or pay yourself more [cha-ching!]. Why not consider letting Bookkeep & Prosper take the busy work off your plate?
As a Quickbooks Online Certified ProAdvisor I will guide you and your business not only through the transition to Cloud accounting with QuickBooks Online but I will also guide you to fully leverage the integrated network of Intuit approved applications. You won’t have to sweat your business financials anymore knowing that you can expect accurate monthly statements regarding the financial health of your business. You also get a trusted advisor (aka someone to help you interpret all those numbers) to boot!
Partnering with Bookkeep & Prosper will allow you to get back to what you love most about your business – and we’re guessing that’s not balancing the books!

Conner Schryver
Owner/Senior Bookkeeper
Conner Schryver CEO & Founder     |
I graduated from Whittier College in 2009 with a degree in Business Administration and a concentration in Finance. After college, I spent several years working in sales for an industrial manufacturing company before moving in with Dana and joining the administrative team at a small private school. While I loved my work, I always had the ambition to one day start my own business. And thus began Bookkeep & Prosper!
Bookkeep & Prosper was a labor of love that I undertook in addition to my full time job (with a side of coaching high school athletics in the afternoons). With the imminent arrival of our daughter and together time being woefully short, Dana and I decided to live the dream of working together and for ourselves. I am the owner and senior bookkeeper for Bookkeep & Prosper (or Chief Mugwump as Dana likes to call me). Putting my years of study and experience to good use, I am actively involved with all of my clients – by not only keeping my practiced eye on their books but also collaborating to work out the best strategies for helping my clients maximize their business’s potential. I enjoy staying engaged with the bookkeeping/accounting world through podcasts and additional coursework. I am passionate about my business and I look forward to putting in the work that helps you get back to your business passion! |

Dana was born and raised in Massachusetts. She graduated from Colby College in 2010 with a degree in Art and Classical Civilizations. Not long after graduating (maybe even before walking to get her diploma), Dana realized those areas of study were difficult to pair with a job in the real world. Dana was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work at a private boarding school in California for 10 years following her graduation from Colby. While she loved her time spent working in education, Dana and Conner both felt short on family time. With their daughter on the way, Conner and Dana decided to transition away from their full-time jobs in education and go all-in with Bookkeep & Prosper.
Fast forward to today, Dana is doubling as a bookkeeper and stay-at-home mom. Bookkeeping plays well to Dana’s strengths – she is highly organized with an eye for detail. Dana is a QuickBooks Online Certified ProAdvisor and looks forward to keeping a keen eye on your books. |
