History
Andrew Steedman began his adventure as an entrepreneur while studying at Chapman University. During his undergraduate years, he majored in Economics and Business, co-founded a tech company, and provided freelance bookkeeping services to startups and wealthy individuals. He found that his passion for accounting and entrepreneurship complemented each other well, so he decided to start The Orange County Bookkeeper. Changes in technology has altered the way small businesses and people manage their books and this made him eager to cultivate his own practice, one that would effectively intersect his expertise with his interests. Choosing to specialize in a field means that you are completely devoted to it; that you will protect it as if it were your own. That is the energy that sets him apart.
