Built by people who've been on your side of the desk
Before Harbor Books, we started and ran our own companies. We hired, invoiced, sweated payroll, mixed up personal and business cards, and learned, sometimes expensively, what good accounting help is worth. Then we built the firm we kept wishing existed.
Meet the founders
Vinay Reddy
Co-founder
Vinay came to bookkeeping the hard way: eleven at night, a pile of receipts, and a quarterly-estimate notice he didn't fully understand, from a firm that billed him by the hour to explain it. He decided that finding out how a business is doing shouldn't be harder than running it.
Manoj
Co-founder
Manoj has spent his career on the operator's side of the desk, running businesses where the numbers had to be right. At Harbor Books, he makes sure the promises on this website survive contact with a busy month.
Four things we won't budge on
Plain answers
If an explanation needs jargon, we haven't finished explaining. You should understand your own money without a translator.
Flat prices
Hourly billing punishes you for asking questions, so we don't do it. Every price is published, and custom work is quoted in writing first.
Tidy books, every month
Not "we'll sort it out at tax time." Clean, closed, reconciled books, twelve times a year, because that's when the numbers can actually help you decide things.
Kind service
Money is stressful and behind-on-the-books is embarrassing enough without a lecture. You will never get one from us.
A small firm, on purpose
Harbor Books is a deliberately small, remote-first team serving clients across the US. You work with the same people every month: the person who closes your books is the person who answers your email. We're tax professionals and bookkeeping professionals who've also signed the front of paychecks, which changes how you think about a client's Tuesday.
However we grow, the promises stay fixed: prices published on the website, the same people on your account month after month, and a human answer within one business day.
