Wait… you brought your entire team to a bowling fundraiser? During tax season?! ??
Yep, we did! And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Last night, our entire Universal Bookkeeper, Inc. team came together to support, Rome NY Chamber of Commerce, at their bowling fundraiser. Throughout the event, Justin and I were reminded of the impact we’re making through the conversations we had:
"I can’t believe you brought your whole team—especially during tax season!"
"You’re leading the way in redefining what an accounting firm looks like."
"The work you’re doing and the growth you’ve had is incredible!"
When we started this business, we set out to build something different—a non-traditional accounting firm that truly values people, relationships, and work-life balance just as much as numbers and strategy. Last night was proof of that.
We didn’t just bowl (though we had plenty of strikes and gutter balls ??)—we connected. With our team, strengthening the bond that makes us who we are. With our clients, showing up to support them beyond just business. And with fellow business owners in our community, having real conversations about growth, innovation, and the future of our local economy.
Hearing others recognize what we’re building and the impact we’re making is humbling and energizing all at once. We’re not just growing a business—we’re helping create a stronger, more connected community.
Huge thanks to Rome Area Chamber for an amazing event and to everyone we had the chance to network with. Thank you also to special guest, Stephen Turnbull, for joining our team.
We love what we do, and we love doing it together. ????
