Our Philosophy
We believe in the spirit of the lemonade stand. The lemonade stand represents the essence of the small business. Starting and running a lemonade stand requires entrepreneurship, resourcefulness and creativity. It serves as a fantastic introduction to the world of business, teaching lessons about money management, marketing, risk and customer service. Many challenges that nonprofit organizations and small businesses face can be viewed from the perspective of a lemonade stand - supply chain issues, supply & demand, profitability, and preparing for external forces.
At Books Refreshed, we see ourselves as the lemon supplier to your lemonade stand. Our clients are out there, filling hearts & stomachs, offering their creative services, giving hope to those in need, and so much more. We are there as a trusted partner, logging receipts & expenses, providing timely reports, offering financial guidance & coaching, and more. We love our clients and strive to be the best partner possible.
Our Software Skills
We take time to understand your unique needs before recommending software. While many bookkeeping services focus exclusively on QuickBooks, our team recognizes that small businesses and nonprofits need options across a range of pricing and features. This broad, flexible approach means we assess your needs carefully and suggest the right platform, and the right tier within that platform. We are platform agnostic and will offer at least two software options that meet your needs, with clear pros and cons, whether that’s QuickBooks Online, Zoho Books, Xero, or another solution.
We support third-party integrations like Ramp, Bill.com, Melio, and various payroll platforms. Our team is always exploring new tools to meet evolving client needs. As a client of Books Refreshed, you’ll benefit from our collaborative approach and deep expertise in setting up and maintaining your accounting software.
