Bookkeeping, tax preparation, compliance—managing the financials of a small firm can be overwhelming. Thankfully, the accounting field is full of firms that specialize in supporting small organizations, rescuing them from financial stress and freeing them up to focus on running and growing their businesses.
One such firm, To The Rescue Bookkeeping LLC, was highlighted in 2023 and 2024 in the Woodard®️ Top 50 Client Accounting Services Practice Awards for its consistent track record of rescuing its clients from financial liabilities by providing top-tier financial solutions.
To The Rescue Bookkeeping was founded in 2006 by Hope Blankenship. A year later, she hired her first employee, Amber Berry, now the firm’s co-owner. Today, the organization’s team consists of nine employees across four states. To The Rescue also has two field offices located in Biloxi, Mississippi, and Wichita, Kansas, respectively.
The firm owes its success to its unique client-centric approach. It gets to know its clients first before tailoring its services—including bookkeeping and accounting, advisory, and training services—to their needs. Whether that means lending its expertise to provide full-service bookkeeping, CFO/controller services, or strategic accounting advisory services, To The Rescue has shown that it is aptly-named.
Reflecting on the award, Blankenship said that “winning the Top 50 Client Accounting Services award is a testament to our commitment to excellence and innovation in business accounting services. It also shows the trust we have earned from our valued partners, like Woodard. Being among the elite 50 firms nationwide showcases our leadership in the industry, our ability to deliver unparalleled service, and our continuous drive to exceed client expectations.”
Blankenship said that the award inspired her team to further enhance its offerings and strive to provide services to its clients at an even higher level (while maintaining a fun attitude). The team celebrated by taking an offsite weekend trip together.
