Steven Stapley

When I first learned Excel, I built myself a budget. I didn't like the idea of getting to the end of the month and watching my money disappear, and so I started tracking every dollar. It helped me cut what I didn't need and put the rest where it belonged. About a year in, I stumbled upon bookkeeping, which is the exact same thing for a business. I was overjoyed to find out people would let me do it for them.

I got my start at a CPA firm during tax season, entering W-2s, 1099s, K-1s and rental schedules, and I still work alongside CPAs every week. My first bookkeeping job was moving three companies from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online and keeping their books ever since. I am a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor, and I am the only person who touches your books.

Before any of that, I spent two years in Panama as a missionary, teaching, training new missionaries and leading a group of thirty. Panama is where I learned to work hard for the people counting on me.

I was born and raised in Mesa, the eighth of nine kids, and I'm still taking accounting classes on the way to my degree.

I'm named after my great-great-grandfather, Orley Seymour Stapley. In 1895, at 23, he opened a hardware and farm supply store on Main Street in Mesa. The O.S. Stapley Company grew into stores across central Arizona, from Phoenix and Glendale to Chandler and Buckeye, and Mesa named Stapley Drive after him. I carry his first name, and his initials are on my business.
