Who you'll work with

Hi, I'm Kevin.

I have a long background in software development and entrepreneurship. I've started several businesses in my life, some successful, some not as much. My Dad was self-employed as a ceramic tile contractor for most of his career. I understand what the life of a small business owner is all about.

In terms of growing a business, the philosophy I've developed is that businesses should hire employees for their core competencies, and outsource everything else. For the majority of small and medium-sized businesses out there, I think they are much better served by an outsourced bookkeeping firm rather than hiring in-house financial staff. In my past businesses we had a CFO, controller, A/R manager, A/P manager, and even data entry clerks. That kind of top-heavy financial department is no longer needed with today's technology. That's why I started Parade Bookkeeping to service the needs of small but growing businesses. Parade Bookkeeping is the financial partner that I always wished I'd had.
