About Us

Recommendations

"We engaged Nathan at Utah Valley Books to analyze our law firm’s financial performance and help improve profitability. He consulted with us one-on-one through a series of regular meetings, analyzing documents and identifying trends and areas for improvement over a number of successive months. It was tremendously helpful. Nathan was professional and knowledgeable in his approach, responsive in his communications, insightful in his expertise, and cost-conscious. His work resulted in our better understanding our own bookkeeping and accounting system and improving our reporting and goalsetting. I recommend his services unequivocally."

SKC Law Firm Owner - Steve Christiansen

"Nathan has become an integral part of our team. He is knowledgeable, reliable and innovative. He has taken the lead on updating our billing and accounting--increasing our efficiency and enhancing the client experience. His focus has been on creating a solid financial foundation for the firm and he keeps us on the right path. It has been a relief to turn our finances over to him so I can focus on the things that I do well. We are in good hands with Nathan, and I hope to keep him around for a long time."

Schriever Law Firm Owner - Ryan Schriever

"I write this letter of recommendation in favor of Nathan Johnson. I have worked with Nate over the course of 2017 in connection with a shareholder dispute. The resolution of the dispute is very dependent on accounting information and analysis. From my perspective, having worked with many forensic accountants in my law practice over the years, Nate provides excellent accounting services and analysis, he is a hard worker, and very detail oriented. I would recommend him to anyone seeking accounting related services. Should you have any additional questions concerning my work with Nate, do not hesitate to call me."
