"I'm thrilled about the opportunity to provide skilled bookkeeping services that focus on the small business community," said David DiPietro, Red Mountain's CEO. "We are excited about serving the East Valley and becoming part of the BookKeeping Express family. BookKeeping Express has more than 20 years of experience in the industry and their proven business model will provide us with the marketing and operations support we need to help us grow our business, which will allow us to help others grow theirs." With more than 90,000 small businesses in the region, BookKeeping Express offers a much-needed service to companies that are not equipped or do not wish to handle accounting responsibilities such as setting up charts of accounts and general ledgers, monthly data entry, processing and managing accounts payable and accounts receivable, producing monthly reports and tax reporting. Moreover, BookKeeping Express utilizes a Custom Flex Pricing Model that is based on the clients' needs instead of a one size fits all, hourly billing approach. "The small business community is growing in Phoenix and around the country, and BookKeeping Express is expanding with it, providing qualified franchise investors with a niche franchise option that caters to this growing segment," said Greg Jones, CEO of BookKeeping Express. "We are looking to grow with franchisees such as Red Mountain Bookkeeping who are serious about building a professional business and sincere about their desire to fill a void in their communities with our distinctive services." As part of the BookKeeping Express franchise model, all offices will offer the BKE Connect system, which allows businesses access to all bookkeeping files remotely through an outside server, as well as a dashboard that clearly and visually 'sums' up the business' operations for thorough analysis. Plus, small to mid-sized business owners can synchronize their QuickBooks and enjoy convenient, anytime access to their financial documents through BKE EDocs, a new electronic filing system designed to provide secure, online storage of financial documents. Two options available to BookKeeping Express investors include Master or Area Development territories that can be operated out of home-based or commercial space locations; per territory start-up fees run under $50,000.
