About Us

Who we are, our values, and what makes us different.

Our Team

At 123 Bookkeeping and More, our team is led by Helene Stang, who brings a refreshing blend of technical expertise and genuine care for each client's success. With her Bachelor's degree in Business from the University of North Florida, Helene has spent two decades mastering the financial side of businesses while never losing sight of the human element that makes each company unique.

Helene's experience spans from managing family businesses to working alongside CPAs in tax preparation and payroll services. She has guided real estate professionals, retail businesses, service companies, and commercial real estate investors through their financial journeys. Her time at H&R Block added another layer of tax expertise that benefits every client we serve across Jacksonville and surrounding communities.

What sets our team apart is our commitment to meeting clients where they are. We understand that not everyone is comfortable with the latest technology, and we take pride in bridging that gap with patience and clarity. Whether you prefer traditional methods or digital solutions, we adapt our approach to ensure you feel confident and in control of your financial records.

Our Story

123 Bookkeeping and More was born from a simple realization. After years of watching business owners struggle with complicated software and impersonal service providers, Helene saw that many people needed something different. They needed a bookkeeper who could explain things clearly, work at their pace, and remember that behind every business is a person with unique needs and concerns.

We founded this company to bring bookkeeping back to basics while still delivering professional excellence. Our approach combines time-tested accounting principles with a personal touch that has been lost in today's automated world. We believe that good bookkeeping should make your life easier, not add another layer of stress to your already busy schedule.

Today, we are proud to serve Jacksonville and the surrounding communities with this philosophy at our core. Every client relationship we build reinforces our belief that bookkeeping is not just about numbers on a page. It's about understanding your business, respecting your preferred way of working, and providing the financial clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
