Built by people who've been on your side of the desk
Before Harbor Books, we started and ran our own companies. We hired, invoiced, sweated payroll, mixed up personal and business cards, and learned, sometimes expensively, what good accounting help is worth. Then we built the firm we kept wishing existed.
The people behind Harbor Books
A licensed CPA leads review and sign-off.
Manoj Pinna
Managing Member
Manoj spent twenty-plus years in financial services and fintech, at Capital One, on the founding team at Nubank, and at ZestFinance. He then founded Pebble Health, a benefits company for small businesses built on their QuickBooks and payroll.
Jeremy Qualls, CPA, EA
Tax Practice Lead
Florida CPA License No. AC63703
Jeremy has more than four years in public accounting, most recently as a tax and client accounting manager. He prepares and reviews individual, partnership, S corp, C corp, and trust returns, and has helped integrate an acquired practice into a larger firm. At Harbor Books he reviews and signs the returns we prepare. Before accounting, he served in the U.S. Marine Corps as an infantry squad leader.
Vinay Reddy
Member
Vinay runs the firm with Manoj; the two built Pebble Health together before Harbor Books. He knows QuickBooks ledgers from the inside and has built tools that automate recurring entries, so our accountants spend their time on judgment, not data entry. He has passed the IRS Enrolled Agent exams, and his license is pending.
Four things we won't budge on
Plain answers
If an explanation needs jargon, we haven't finished explaining. You should understand your own money without a translator.
Flat prices
Hourly billing punishes you for asking questions, so we don't do it. Every price is published, and custom work is quoted in writing first.
Tidy books, every month
Not "we'll sort it out at tax time." Clean, closed, reconciled books, twelve times a year, because that's when the numbers can actually help you decide things.
Kind service
Money is stressful and behind-on-the-books is embarrassing enough without a lecture. You will never get one from us.
A small firm, on purpose
Harbor Books is a deliberately small firm based in Seattle, serving clients across the US. You work with the same people every month: the person who closes your books is the person who answers your email.
However we grow, the promises stay fixed: prices published on the website, the same people on your account month after month, and a human answer within one business day.
Harbor Books is operated by Harbor Books & Tax, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company based in Seattle, WA.
