About Erastus Bookkeeping

Software Engineer turned Bookkeeper and Tax Preparer When discussing starting a bookkeeping business, my wife encouraged me with "You are going from a boring job to the most boring job!" I moved to Cedar Rapids in 2010 to work as a software engineer. During that time, I joined the board of a non-profit in Des Moines and became the treasurer in 2014. I learned a lot about bookkeeping on the board, but more importantly, I learned how to communicate the finances to the board. In the meetings where I communicated well, we were able to speed through decisions. Bookkeeping interests me because of the puzzles that arise when deciphering books and information revealed in financial reports.
