Our psychology practice was in search of a bookkeeping service. We researched online, reviewed a number of websites for bookkeepers and came upon Blue Slate Accounting’s site. Many of the websites we reviewed had typos, but Blue Slate’s website was professionally done. This may sound simple, but if someone is going to manage our financial information, attention to detail is a must. From the initial phone contact and our initial meeting, it was clear that Lauri makes professionalism a priority. We find her responsiveness and attention to detail to be top-notch. I’ve already referred her to colleagues and would highly recommend Blue Slate Accounting for your virtual bookkeeping needs.

Lauri Paxton and team have been a true asset to our business in handling our restaurant's bookkeeping.
They are thorough, extremely responsive and communicative, and go above and beyond in their attention to detail. They walked us through our P&Ls to help us understand every detail of our financials and even worked with us to align on our costing and inventory methods. Within just a few weeks of working with Lauri and her team, they were handling our financials like a well-oiled machine. We couldn't be more confident in recommending Blue Slate Accounting.

I have been a client of Blue Slate Accounting since 2013. Finding the right bookkeeper can make all the difference for a small business owner like myself. Lauri and her team have helped me to understand exactly how well my business is doing by explaining my financial statements and by creating additional documents as necessary to help me get a better sense of forecasting for the future. Their attention to detail, prompt responses, software expertise, and professionalism makes them an invaluable asset for any business owner!

I’m no accountant, so I needed someone I could trust to give me accurate, timely financials so I could run my business. Lauri Paxton and her team took the time to work with my staff to gain a solid understanding of how we run our different product lines and helped us improve our reporting process. As a result, our reporting turn-around is two weeks or less, which helps us make effective course corrections if needed.

I have been working with Blue Slate Accounting since 2011. They provide peace of mind and offer a major convenience factor. Monthly reviews and reports are quite helpful so I can see where we are spending too much or not enough when managing multiple projects. This helps keep large projects on budget and allows me to adjust when necessary. It’s nice to have updated client billing information so I know who I need to remind and when to ensure a continual flow of revenue keeps coming into the business. Lauri is very neat and organized. She reviews everything with me, tells me where to sign, and even has my envelopes prepared! Hiring Lauri Paxton with Blue Slate Accounting has been the best business investment I’ve made.
