The definition of Crackerjack is “a person or thing marked by excellence,” and I can assure you that in the case of Jenny Maxwell’s Crackerjack Bookkeeping, this is absolutely true. Jenny took over for us as bookkeeper after using a large, expensive firm that had not only been on autopilot with our bookkeeping, they had neglected critical details that tangled our books in to a giant mess.

Jenny’s best asset is her curiosity, and her understanding that the numbers logged in to an accounting system tell a story, have a background and history, and possess their own quirks. Until all of this is understood, you cannot produce an accurate set of numbers. Jenny wants to know everything about how and why a figure is arrived at, and she cares about the story. She is devoted to creating a strong process, and she will follow through on details with thoroughness and accuracy.

Additionally, her thrifty nature allows her to analyze expenses and make recommendations, including the expense of her own time. She has a sense of economy and efficiency that is unusual in consultancy.

She is whip-smart, driven, focused and an absolute pleasure to work with. Our company has a complicated invoicing process, which has often times been drudgery, however, I look forward to tackling these issues with Jenny because of her wit and tenacity. She makes bookkeeping a pleasure and we have the best set of numbers we’ve ever had. I cannot recommend her enough!

When my accounting system of 10 years crashed suddenly one day, I quickly needed to find a new system for managing our small business. Jenny Maxwell of Crackerjack Bookkeeping came to the rescue. She is extremely smart, patient, and exemplary at problem solving. She spent tireless hours with me, experimenting with different order management systems to interact with Quickbooks.  She is responsive, resourceful, and will help you find solutions! I highly recommend Crackerjack Bookkeeping and Jenny Maxwell for all your Quickbooks needs.

I did not think I needed to hire a bookkeeper.  My books are “simple” and I thought I could do it all myself.  I learned quickly that I was making a mistake. Keeping track of income and expenses on a spread sheet was time consuming and imprecise. Jenny got my business set up on Quickbooks, where every day I have a snapshot of finances. She was a big help when I transitioned from a sole proprietorship to a corporation, working with my CPA and corporate attorneys to ensure a smooth transition. Because I trust Jenny I can leave all of the day to day with her, knowing that when we have our monthly status meeting she will take me through my ‘books’ and point out areas that could use some work – less spending on X, more time working with certain types of clients who are more profitable, and so much more. Outsourcing my bookkeeping to Jenny has freed up my time to make my business more profitable.  She has a winning personality and a geeky love of Quickbooks!

There is no one I trust more with my books than Crackerjack Bookkeeping. As a small business owner whose firm is growing quickly, it’s a relief to know that I don’t have to worry about the day-to-day financials. Jenny is a stickler for accuracy and strives to understand my unique business and how to best approach our record keeping. She is a clear communicator, which is a necessity when collaborating remotely. As an added plus, her fun personality makes her a pleasure to work with.

Bookkeepers are a dull, humorless lot, by and large. Bookkeeper Jenny Maxwell upholds the conscientious competence of her ilk, but applies a can-do attitude and infectious enthusiasm that transforms from drudgery to pleasure the cold, hard-hearted domain of the digit.
