A-Z Bookkeeping Service was founded in 2017 in Minneola, Florida, by Liz Ripoli's mother, Lori. After Lori's passing, Liz took over the practice and moved it to the Chicago area. Liz is a creative herself and focuses the firm on people building businesses around their creative work who were never taught how the money side works.

The firm is woman-owned and built on three core values: empathy, authenticity, and clarity. That means plain-language explanations, a judgment-free space for questions, and monthly financials that make sense to non-accountants.
