Over the past 10 years, Stephanie Roy, a lifelong resident of Berkshire County, has developed a reputation in the community as a trustworthy and efficient professional with considerable and valuable bookkeeping expertise. Stephanie holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, and has worked as both a Staff Accountant at a local CPA firm and a Controller. In those roles, she excelled professionally, receiving promotions and accolades from her clients and employers. After her daughter Olivia was born in 2014, Stephanie realized she wanted to spend more time with her young family. When she had an opportunity for a career change in 2016, Stephanie opened Live Balanced Bookkeeping, a family-owned business, based out of her home in North Adams, MA. Through Live Balanced Bookkeeping, Stephanie offers bookkeeping services that her clients can depend on, which allows them to focus their time and energy on areas of their business or personal life that they enjoy.
