About Us

Strawn and Associates was founded in 2006 in Manhattan, Kansas by mother-daughter team Julia and Michelle Strawn. What started as a shared passion for helping small businesses manage their finances has grown into a trusted full-service bookkeeping company serving clients from two locations: Manhattan, KS and Fort Smith, AR.

Today, Julia is full time, while Michelle is working full time at the Arkansas Office.  Together, Michelle and Juila bring experience, dedication, and a personal touch to every client relationship.

Our team of dedicated bookkeepers — 2 full-time and 1 part-time — is experienced in QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop & Enterprise, and industry-specific software like AppFolio. But what truly sets us apart isn’t just our technical expertise — it’s our commitment to each business we serve.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to simplifying bookkeeping for small businesses. By providing accurate, organized, and timely financial records, we empower owners to make confident decisions and focus on growing their business.
