November always reminds me to slow down, take a deep breath, and reflect on what (and who) I’m truly grateful for.
And honestly? At the top of that list are you — the incredible shop owners, small business teams, and entrepreneurs who trust Three Rivers Bookkeeping with your books.
Whether we’re untangling month-end reconciliations, reviewing profit margins, or helping you see exactly where your money’s going, it’s an honor to be part of your business journey.
A Few Client Shoutouts That Make Us Extra Thankful
We work with so many amazing auto repair shops and small businesses across the U.S., and while we can’t name everyone, here are a few that deserve a little extra spotlight this month:
Advanced Transmission — Spanish Fort, AL
Crystal and Jonathan Shadis run the kind of family business that reminds you what integrity looks like. Their dedication to honest work and exceptional customer care makes every mile of what we do worth it.
Fremont Auto Center — Fremont, CA
Sal Garcia’s team is known for delivering top-tier service and keeping operations running like clockwork. They’ve mastered the balance between old-school customer care and modern efficiency — something we can all learn from.
Seeley Automotive — Lunenburg, MA
Paul Seeley has built a loyal following in his community by doing things the right way. From detailed diagnostics to transparent pricing, his shop sets the bar for professionalism — and it’s a joy to help keep his financial systems just as polished.
Talkeetna Roadhouse — Talkeetna, AK
Trisha Costello and her team embody everything we love about small-town Alaska — warm hospitality, a deep sense of community, and incredible homemade comfort food. They remind us that business is personal, and heart matters just as much as numbers.
Why We’re So Grateful
While balancing books and closing months are important, our foundation is about relationships.
We’ve celebrated new hires and record-breaking revenue months right alongside our clients. And we’ve also walked through the messy middle, the slow seasons, the growing pains, the “wait, what’s this expense?” moments.
Each of you shows us what it means to run a business with grit and heart.
Our Commitment Moving Forward
Supporting you goes far beyond balancing books. It’s about helping you understand your numbers, make confident financial decisions, and feel at ease knowing your business is thriving.
Here’s how we do that at Three Rivers Bookkeeping:
Financial Road Map
Do you know where your business stands financially, or where it’s headed?
We’ll create a clear, easy-to-understand financial road map that gives you a big-picture view of your shop’s health and helps you plan for long-term success.
Recording and Organizing Financial Transactions
We properly record and organize your business transactions for tax time and monthly reports. That way, your financial statements tell the truth about your business, and you can rest easy knowing you’re paying the lowest possible amount in taxes.
Reconciliation of Bank and Credit Card Accounts
Every month, we make sure the numbers in your accounting software line up with your actual spending. Duplicate or incorrect transactions happen more often than most shop owners realize, but we’ll catch and correct them so you never overpay on taxes or miss important deductions.
Monthly Financial Statements
Each month, we prepare your three key financial statements: the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. And (here’s the best part) we walk you through them.
You’ll receive a recorded video explanation that breaks down what the numbers mean, how your shop is performing, and what to keep an eye on next month.
Monthly Review Meetings
We don’t believe in “set it and forget it.” Every month, we set aside dedicated time just for you. These review meetings help ensure you understand your finances, stay confident in your numbers, and always know what’s next for your business.
From Our Desk to Yours
As we wrap up another incredible year, we just want to say: thank you.
Thank you for trusting us with your books.
Thank you for the referrals, the check-in emails, and the chance to play a small role in your success.
Here’s to a season filled with gratitude, and to a 2026 that’s even more profitable, peaceful, and purpose-driven.
With appreciation,
Natalie & the Three Rivers Bookkeeping Team
