Scott Burke

Bookkeeper and fractional CFO in Hagerstown, with 26 years of tax preparation behind the work.

Why I started Burkes Bookkeeping

I spent 26 years preparing tax returns, and saw the same thing over and over: an owner hands over a shoebox in March, and the return tells them what happened to a year they can no longer do anything about.

The ones who did well were not the ones with the cleverest preparer. Their books were clean all year, they knew their margins, and they made decisions while there was still time to change the outcome.

So that is the business I built — bookkeeping and fractional CFO work with 26 years of tax experience behind it. One person on the books, the numbers and the return. More time and more money back to the owner, to spend on the part of the business they actually like.

Planning through the year and quarterly estimate reviews, so the return holds nothing new.
