Joe Dichiara -Bedrock Bookkeepers Online Academy

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

Joe DiChiara is an accomplished CPA/Entrepreneur with over thirty years of solid business experience. Having worked in the trenches with thousands of small businesses while successfully starting, buying and selling several of his own companies, he truly understands what being an entrepreneur is all about.

After graduating with a B.S. in accounting in 1984, Mr. DiChiara quickly developed strong managerial and problem solving skills in accounting as well as individual and business taxation. Working his way up the CPA chain he opened his first CPA office in 1994, specializing in solving individual and business tax problems including sales and income tax audits, criminal investigations, offers in compromise, collection cases and forensic accounting in litigation matters.

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. His latest enterprise Bedrock Bookkeepers Online Academy where Joe is once again, successfully teaching individuals a wide range of subjects from basic bookkeeping to starting and running a successful business.
