About Arrow

Your Success, Our Mission

Driven by a passion for bookkeeping and a commitment to helping small business owners achieve their financial goals, Arrow Bookkeeping was founded in 1995. Decades later, Arrow has earned a stellar reputation for delivering exceptional financial services to clients across diverse industries.

What began as a one-woman operation, has transformed into a thriving small business, thanks to the company’s dedicated employees, loyal clients, and partnered CPA’s. First expanding to a small office in Silver Spring, MD, Arrow has since grown into a fully remote team serving clients nationwide, with an expanded executive team that includes Kelly Porter and Jean-Sebastien Villa. While once focused on local businesses, Arrow now provides top-tier financial services to a much wider audience. We have a nationwide client base in the following industries: restaurant & retail, non-profits, government contractors, law firms, construction and contractors, high-wealth individuals, and many other consultants and service providers.

As the accounting industry’s landscape evolves, the team at Arrow is more focused on harnessing new technology and AI to meet the needs of the modern client. Routine tasks like data entry are now automated, freeing up accountants for more strategic work. At Arrow, we embrace change and have incorporated the latest technology to scale your business and improve your accounting systems.

Since its inception, Arrow Bookkeeping has remained dedicated to helping small businesses succeed by offering tailored bookkeeping solutions that meet each client’s unique needs. The company’s unwavering commitment to accuracy, integrity, and professionalism has been its foundation. Throughout the changes and growth of our accounting industry and our clients, we commit to always remain focused on our mission.

For more than 30 years, Arrow Bookkeeping has helped businesses stay organized, improve financial visibility, and make confident business decisions. What began as a passion for helping small business owners navigate their finances has grown into a trusted bookkeeping and accounting resource serving clients across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC.

Our team is committed to delivering personalized support, accurate financial reporting, and dependable bookkeeping solutions tailored to the unique needs of each client. We believe strong financial management creates a foundation for long-term business success, and we take pride in helping organizations achieve their goals with confidence.

For years I did all the books for my small law firm on my own. I found Arrow Bookkeeping after an extensive search and, as you can imagine, my books were a mess at the time. They helped me to get my “ship in shape” and they continue to guide me with excellent advice. With their help, I now have a clear financial picture of my company, for the first time ever!

We are a small architecture and design firm. I have had the pleasure of working with Jean Sebastien for about 2 years. Jean-Sebastien is fantastic… He is bright and creative in finding solutions to problems. He is patient with my silly questions and is a good teacher when necessary. Jean-Sebastien has recommended helpful software tools and guided us into the digital world, which has been a great boost for the efficiency and productivity of our business. Jean-Sebastien and I also get to speak in French at times, which is a lovely added bonus!

As Executive Director at Shepherd’s Table, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kaye McCally of ARROW Bookkeeping. Kaye provided excellent, timely accounting services, partnering with our onsite bookkeeper and playing a key role in preparing for our annual audit.

We started working with Arrow Bookkeeping after a very unsatisfactory stint with another firm. There was an adjustment period as Arrow cleaned up the unsatisfactory work of another accounting firm and as we adapted to one another’s work styles and capacities, but since then we have been pleased with Arrow’s work product and the relationships we have forged with the firm’s staff.

My small business engaged Arrow Bookkeeping a couple years ago and the experience has been wonderful. Linda was so helpful in getting us transitioned from a manual system to QBO, and has helped us digitize and automate all our AR/AP, payroll, tax reporting, etc. For me, this is essential service and is done at a fraction of the cost of a full time employee.
