The concept of Bookminders came about in 1984 when the Joseph family needed someone to run the accounting system for the family business. One of the family’s daughters had recently left the workforce to concentrate on her family but was willing to do the job if she could do most of the work from home.
During this time, it became evident there were a growing number of talented, educated professionals who wanted to work but had family commitments that wouldn’t support a 9 to 5 schedule. The simple idea of utilizing a home-based workforce turned into a great place to work when Bookminders was launched in 1991.
Bookminders’ remote-first employment model appeals to accountants who traditionally struggled to achieve work-life balance. Since its founding, Bookminders has grown to become an industry leader in outsourced bookkeeping.
The Philadelphia office of Bookminders opened in 2006. In 2017, Bookminders experienced unprecedented growth with the opening of two new offices: Cherry Hill, New Jersey in the spring and Baltimore, Maryland in the fall. In May of 2022, the company opened its first office in Texas, Bookminders Austin. Visit our locations page for our growing list of bookkeeping and accounting offices.
Bookminders was named a 2022 Top Workplace and a 2021 DotCom Magazine Impact Company of the Year. It has previously been honored by the American Society of Women Accountants as a Work/Life Balance “Company of the Year”, recognized as Pennsylvania’s “Home-based Business Champion” by the U.S. SBA, and named a seven-time recipient of the Pittsburgh Business Times’ “100 Fastest Growing Private Companies”.
