I encourage small business owners, especially new business owners to make hiring a bookkeeper one of their first forays into outsourcing.

Integrating his accounting skills and technical knowledge Mr. DiChiara developed Pro Bookkeepers Inc. an online bookkeeping system that reduced the time CPA’s need to operate their accounting practice by over fifty percent while reducing client costs by up to twenty-five percent. In 2007 he began teaching his system to individuals with no prior bookkeeping skills with several of his students successfully launching their own bookkeeping businesses.

In 2010 Mr. DiChiara began to develop a new philosophy for entrepreneurial success. His thirteen principles for success aptly called Joe DiChiara’s Entrepreneur Success System is being taught to emerging entrepreneurs throughout the United States.
