Our Story

Built for Business Owners Who Have Better Things to Do Than the Books

314 Bookkeeping started with a straightforward observation: small business owners work too hard to spend every tax season in a panic. Behind on their books, unsure of their margins, handing their CPA a box of chaos — it doesn't have to be that way. Clean, current financials aren't a luxury reserved for larger companies. They're what every business owner deserves, and making that accessible to St. Louis small businesses is what gets me to work every morning.

My experience is in the work itself — account reconciliations, month-end close, financial cleanup, and producing reports that give owners a real picture of where they stand. Over time I became certified in QuickBooks Online and sharpened my process across the full bookkeeping cycle. The decision to build 314 Bookkeeping came from a conviction that small business owners in this market were underserved — bounced between impersonal national platforms or ignored by larger firms with bigger priorities.

If you're a St. Louis small business owner — a contractor, a shop owner, a healthcare provider, a service professional — this firm was built for you. Working with 314 Bookkeeping means one dedicated bookkeeper who knows your business, a close that happens every month without you having to follow up, and financial reports delivered in a format that makes sense. Flat monthly pricing, responsive communication, and books your CPA will actually thank you for. That's the standard, every month.
