Books by James LLC was founded in May of 2023 by James MacNaughton, after he made the switch to business ownership. He had previously been working as an operations manager for a Fort Collins, CO based restoration company and prior to that, as a death investigator for Larimer County Coroner’s Office from 2010-2020. 

His interest in bookkeeping began while performing the daily operations and financial management tasks required for a restoration company to succeed. Everything from running payroll, inspecting and estimating jobs, inventory, bank account management and receiving payments were part of his duties. His interest grew into a desire to become a certified bookkeeper in order to serve small businesses locally and nationwide. 

James values a personal touch, clear communication and responsiveness as foundational to maintaining an exceptional client to bookkeeper relationship. As a business owner himself, James treats all clients as he would want to be treated. His professional experience with multiple industries and his knowledge of various accounting software and bank systems, helps him stand out among the competition. If you are seeking help with a year end clean up, just starting your business or in need of regular bookkeeping maintenance, James can help. Contact him now for a free consult or review. 

Outside of work, James loves to be anywhere, doing anything, in the mountains. Fishing, Hiking, Snowboarding, are a few of his favorites. He also enjoys Golf, Soccer, Baseball, Disc Golf and Shooting Sports.
