History

My greatest enjoyment comes from finding the right bookkeeping system for my client. No two clients are alike, and the way they use the tools available should indeed be unique to the way they think and work. Full charge bookkeeping experience I have had includes all fully manual ledgers, that gives me the ability to know what is behind the scenes as we work with bookkeeping programs. I value my reputation for getting things done, enjoying challenges, meeting deadlines. Computer programming experience has made me proficient in bookkeeping, spreadsheet, and accounting support programs: QuickBooks, Quicken, Excel, Microsoft Word, Lacerte, ProSeries, and Turbotax Tax programs, Asset Keeper, T-Value, AICPA Accounting Trial Balance. - Helen Pilgrim

Testimonials

“Helen has been skillfully working with my business accounting and analysis for quite a number of years, saving us money, time and headaches. Her husband, Bevan, does all our company book keeping and provides me with patient coaching on using our Quickbooks programs. Both are professional, friendly and easily accessible when ever I have questions for them.” August 30, 2006 ~ J'aime ona Pangaia, Director, Voice Dialogue Center NW

“Helen is the most thorough bookkeeper I have worked with in the 8 years I have been in public accounting. When Helen's work came in, we staff accountants knew that it would be complete and would require few if any adjustments. Projects from her were always done with the greatest ethical and professional care. I would recommend Helen to any business in need of bookkeeping services.” ~ Jim Bartos, Staff Accountant, Wilcox & Co, CPA's

“Helen worked for me as a second year tax preparer. She ran our tax office and was a conscientious, detailed worker of vital assistance to my then fledgling business. Customers enjoyed working with Helen as well.” ~ April Gutierrez, Pacific Northwest Tax Service

“One of the 4 reasons I remain an Oregon resident (legally mind you) despite living in Los Angeles is Helen. Why this site only lets me pick three attributes to best describe her, I'll never know, because I'd pick all of 'em if I could. She was recommended to me by a co-worker and I refer her to everyone with 100% confidence and assuredness. Pilgrim Accounting rules.” ~ Mike Vaughn, Actor
