Josh O’Donnell, CPA

Owner, Bay Area Bookkeeper

I’ve been a licensed California CPA since 2019 and have over a decade of accounting experience. I started my career as an auditor at Ernst & Young, then held accounting roles at technology companies including GoFundMe and Tray.ai.

I founded Bay Area Bookkeeper to help small business owners stay on top of their finances without the stress that often comes with bookkeeping. I work closely with owners to keep their books accurate and up to date, show them clearly how their business is performing, and give them the confidence to make informed financial decisions.
