In 2013, when I started my first accounting job, I kept hearing the same thing—“Accountants won’t be needed in the future.” With automation on the rise, many believed that bookkeeping and tax preparation would be completely replaced by software. But as I worked in the industry, I saw a different reality. Experienced accountants were retiring, and fewer young professionals were entering the field. Small businesses, the backbone of our economy, were left with two choices—overpriced firms that prioritized bigger clients or DIY software that seemed affordable at first but quickly became costly and confusing. I watched business owners struggle—not because they didn’t want to handle their finances, but because they had no real support. They had questions, unexpected IRS notices, and complex decisions to make, yet no accountant to turn to. The ones who tried to get help often found themselves lost in automated systems, talking to chatbots, or stuck with firms that treated them like just another file. I knew there had to be a better way. A way to provide expert accounting with the personal touch that small businesses and individuals deserve. That’s why we built Arc & Ledger Accounting—to combine modern tools with old-fashioned, relationship-driven service. Because when it comes to your finances, you don’t just need numbers—you need someone in your corner.
