Let's Talk
MODERN APPROACH
We're not your average bookkeepers
Elmwood was born in the cloud and leverages the efficiencies of modern tools that help us deliver quality work at an accessible price. We believe in using technology to save our most limited resource. . . time.
Protecting your time is probably one of the reasons you're here.
That's why we send video messages vs long emails that you can watch at your leisure to avoid unnecessary meetings. When you are ready for some facetime, our video calls are summarized and transcribed (as requested) so you can digest what we discussed on your own time.
We use an encrypted portal for all bookkeeping questions and requests so you never are digging through your emails for where our conversation left off. We also send weekly reminders via email and text so you’ll never fall behind.
We've invested in tools to make working with our firm as seamless as possible. This has allowed us to support clients in Georgia, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Texas and beyond.

MODERN BOOKKEEPING
While technology has made it easier to run businesses on the front end, the back end of a modern business can be complicated to unravel if you don't know what you are doing.
We work with platforms like, Square, Stripe, PayPal, Venmo, HoneyBook, Toast, etc all the time and know how to navigate their back ends so you report accurate numbers to the IRS.
We also support clients with their industry specific billing softwares so they can continue to use tools that make running their business easier.
CYBER SECURITY
We take the necessary precautions with our client's data and invest in tools to keep it safe. Here are some of the steps we take to protect both our businesses:
We use zero knowledge encryption tools for sensitive credentials.
We use Two-factor authentication (2FA) throughout our tech stack.
Our client portal is SOC 2-compliant and the data shared is fully encrypted at rest and in transit.
SOCIAL IMPACT
Our belief is that everyone has a responsibility to give back to their community.
Every new monthly client enrollment triggers a donation event. We also partner with non-profits like SSTB to broaden the reach of our efforts to give back. Some causes that are dear to our hearts are financial literacy and mental health advocacy 🕊️
LIFELONG LEARNING
The landscape of accounting and tax is always evolving. It's why we prioritize investment into continuing education with monthly workshops hosted by seasoned CPAs to keep our skillset sharp and have trusted resources for the nuanced circumstances that inevitably come up in our clients books. Pooling knowledge with other experts gives you access to decades of experience at no additional cost.
We're grateful for the feedback from our clients.

Meet Our Founder, Barb
After 10 years of working in accounting for publicly traded ad agencies & global legal + financial services firms in NYC I was burnt out 😩and ready to take my love of business and strength for working with numbers to the next chapter of my career.
What started as a passion project in 2021, has blossomed into a purpose driven business to support people looking for more agency over their lives.
With our help clients can finally get excited about "the numbers side" of their business because they have the right support, tech stack and mindset.
My passion for wellness businesses came from the support I received as I recovered from the burnout I experienced from my corporate days. Wellness providers are a critical part of our communities and I want to amplify their impact by making sure they stay in business so they can serve for years to come.❤️
My vision for Elmwood is to support businesses that bring wellness into their communities. Whether through nutrition, grooming, travel, yoga, or therapy; if you improve the quality of life of your clients, we want to help.
With our support, clients have been able to eliminate wasteful spending and prioritize their needs with the insights gained from clean books.
My team and I are here to bring order to your books and confidence to your business.

How it works
Hand over the books and get financial clarity
If we decide to work together during our Discovery Call, we move to onboarding. During onboarding, we do a deep dive on the back end of your business, so we understand how money flows through your accounts and tech stack. We also set up access to your accounting file and business accounts so we can service your business with minimal input from you throughout the month.
Once your file is set up or cleaned up, we move to the maintenance phase of our services.
Here is what you can expect every month
- All business transactions are recorded and categorized.
- All business bank and credit accounts are reconciled.
- Transaction questions that need client input are listed in the portal for easy response.
- Books are revised with the feedback from the client.
- Financial reports are created and published with a recap email of financial highlights.
- Books are closed for the month to prevent incorrect entries.
