Who We Are
Starboard Accounting & Consulting is a Winston-Salem based accounting firm that specializes in helping small businesses manage their bookkeeping and payroll tasks. With our remote services, we can assist small businesses anywhere, but we have a special focus on supporting small businesses throughout North Carolina, particular in the Piedmont Triad region.
We know that you started your business to follow your passion, not to get bogged down in bookkeeping.

Reclaim your time, build your brand, and give your customers your best by letting us assist with payroll, QuickBooks, and more.

- Patience – We commit to having the utmost patience when working with our clients. We commit to happily taking the time to explain and re-explain, until the client is comfortable.

- Consistency – We commit to consistently perform every task the same way, every time, for every client, so they know what to expect. Our team will create workable systems to find the most efficient method for every action.
- Make Life Easy – We commit to going out of our way to be flexible and accommodating to work within our client’s systems, rather than our own. We commit to making our client’s finances as easy as possible for him or her to manage.
