Pro Accountability Brings Clear, Honest Books to the Wasatch Back

Every business owner knows the question, even if they don't say it out loud. Pro Accountability's website puts it plainly: "You're telling me we made money. Where is it?" Answering that question is the core of what this Heber City firm does.

Founded in 2003, Pro Accountability provides outsourced bookkeeping, accounting and advisory, fractional CFO support, and QuickBooks setup, cleanup, and catch-up. It serves businesses in Park City, Heber City, Midway, Kamas, Provo, and Orem. Its clients include contractors, property and vacation rental managers, realtors, professional services firms, HOAs, retail shops, restaurants, and non-profits. These are the businesses that, in the firm's words, "make Summit and Wasatch Counties work."

Meet Julia

Pro Accountability is led by founder Julia Straley, who describes herself as an accountant and advisor, a business owner, and a problem solver. "I enjoy figuring things out, finding solutions, and helping people see the bigger picture," she says on the firm's site. "Accounting gives me an opportunity to do all three."

She has more than 20 years in accounting, and her path has been wide. She worked as an international business advisor with the Peace Corps in Uganda. She has done corporate auditing work, including internal controls and large-scale project reconciliations. She also served as a financial controller in resort management, which is fitting experience for a region shaped by seasonal swings, construction, and the rental market. Outside of work, she enjoys the outdoors, exploring new places, and taking advantage of everything the mountains have to offer.

How the work actually happens

The firm offers three levels of ongoing support:

• Monthly bookkeeping covers reconciliations, payables and receivables, and dependable monthly statements.
• Accounting and advisory adds management reporting, cash-flow analysis, budgeting, and a monthly review meeting.
• Fractional CFO support handles forecasting, KPIs, and variance analysis for businesses that need financial leadership without a full-time hire.

For books that have fallen behind, a project-based QuickBooks cleanup reconciles accounts, corrects miscoded transactions, and brings everything current.

New clients start with a review of their books, which produces a Findings Report. That report becomes the basis for a free discovery session, where you see your options and choose what fits. The site promises "an honest recommendation, even if it isn't working with us."

Pro Accountability is clear about what it doesn't do. It doesn't prepare tax returns. Instead, it keeps books CPA-ready all year and coordinates directly with your tax professional. It typically works with established and growing businesses bringing in roughly $250,000 to $10 million a year.

Four promises

The name isn't just a pun. The firm lists four commitments behind every engagement: confidence, clarity, accountability, and understanding. Or, as the About page puts it, "You shouldn't need an accounting degree to understand your own business's financial statements."

When you choose a locally owned Utah business like Pro Accountability, you keep your community's know-how working for your community.
