From the Owner

Hello, I’m Jan Essex, owner of Bookkeeping Services by Jan, LLC. I help small business owners take the stress out of bookkeeping so they can spend more time focusing on running and growing their business. From getting your books set up correctly to keeping monthly transactions organized, I provide dependable support that helps you stay prepared for tax season and make informed financial decisions throughout the year.

With over 30 years of business experience, I bring a practical understanding of day-to-day accounting needs, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, and cost accounting. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Maryland Global Campus and have built much of my experience working in construction-related businesses, including large general contractors and specialized subcontractors. That background gives me firsthand insight into the financial challenges business owners face and how accurate, organized books can make a real difference.
