You’ll be in good human hands with Moxie.

At Moxie, we take care of you. We help you understand your books, so you feel empowered and take home more of what you earn. We do this through Profit First Cash Management and Breathe Easy Bookkeeping. Founded by Ean Murphy in 2003, Moxie is headquartered in Brooklyn, NYC with bookkeepers all over the U.S.

What will happen when we work together?

You’ll understand your business’s finances, and won’t think they’re scary anymore.
Your accountant will love you.
You’ll get back to doing that thing you like doing.
You’ll discover mental peace around money.
You’ll help the planet. (We pledge 1% of gross income to environmental causes, offset our carbon footprint through the Carbon Fund, and we’re a member of Co-op America / Green America.)

We believe in the power of people.

Automation makes life easier in lots of ways. But humans care in a way that automation obviously cannot. So at Moxie, you have our 100% commitment that we will always employ actual humans and keep our eyes on what matters most. We provide a level of service you won’t get from software automation alone.

Our clients are creative, talented & they don’t like bookkeeping (until they work with us).

Maybe you’re confused or overwhelmed—or you just know it’s time for a better way. Clients come our way for so many different reasons!

We genuinely care about you and your success.

If you care about your clients, too—and want your business’s finances to support your best work for them—let’s talk.

We will be a good fit if:

You value money. It’s important to us that you realize that money is a tool to get you where you want to go.
You treat people with respect. This includes your customers, employees, and partners. Do you try to bring your best self with you? Say hello!!
You’re working towards being really smart with money. You understand that your money should be working for you.
You like straight-shooters. We tell it like it is, and when there’s bad news to deliver, we do it in the most direct way possible—always with kindness and diplomacy (and maybe a cuss word or two).
You want to feel empowered to take ownership of your finances. You’re not looking to hand it everything over and just forget about your books or cash management. You’re interested in an active expert partner, and being engaged with your finances.

Industries We Work With

Our clients are creative firms, architects, photographers, coaches, social entrepreneurs, nonprofits, professional service providers—and other folks who are bringing some good into the world. (While we have a few clients in other industries, we generally aren’t specialized enough for fashion, restaurants, manufacturing, wholesale and other product-based businesses.)

Hi, I’m Ean Price Murphy.

Money scares many people. But it doesn’t scare me. I don’t want you to have to worry about your “crazy” finances anymore! If you are nervous or confused about money, I will help you become confident, comfortable and knowledgeable around money.

I wasn’t born a bookkeeper. I learned it slowly. In fact, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree, so it wasn’t until my 20s that I started becoming educated about money. After all, it’s just another language, and with a little guidance, you’ll be fluent, too.

So if you’re overwhelmed or frustrated with where you’re at—fear not! I want your business to be successful, and I will do everything in my power to make it so using my experience as a bookkeeper, business coach, and fellow small-business owner.

Want to do your best for your business, your bottom line, and your mental-peace? Let’s talk.

Meet the Team

We have a small but mighty team of Senior and Junior bookkeepers and bookkeeping assistants around the country who can handle almost any financial situation, and a list of CPAs we recommend for things we can’t handle. A few of us prefer not to be included on the website, but here we are!

What Our Peeps Have to Say

“Moxie Bookkeeping is by far the most comprehensive bookkeeping service that I've encountered. Their ability to respect the needs of their clients, and to help the client understand why bookkeeping is a valuable and powerful tool, has helped me grow my business over the past 11 years. They are timely, responsive, and able to adapt to my changing needs. I enjoy their ethos and culture tremendously and owe them endlessly. Surviving a global pandemic isn't easy. As a small business owner I've faced challenges that I do not know that I could have tackled otherwise, without their help. Their willingness to provide me the type of customized service that I need, is a true game-changer.”
—Elizabeth Pongo

“Ean doesn't just do bookkeeping, she makes it accessible and empowering. She takes the time to educate, and she helps you create a bookkeeping system that truly works for YOU. Plus, the emphasis on profitability helps keep me focused on what really matters.”
—Heart Driven Business Academy

“I’ve been with Moxie several years. I’m a very small business that needs flexibility and Moxie has always been able to work with me. Great work and great service.”
—Christopher Duggan

“Ean is our go to expert for optimizing our accounting.”
—Jacob Griscom

“I am absolutely enjoying my time working with the folks at Moxie Bookkeeping. To say that bookkeeping and money matters send me running for the hills, is the understatement of the year. These wonderful people have made the subject accessible, as stress free as possible, and dare I say fun? I would recommend them to any business owner looking for help with their bookkeeping.”
—Shanta Covington

“Needing a new bookkeeping system this year, I turned to Moxie Bookkeeping. I really appreciated their approach. They helped me set up a new system through Xero, providing me with all the necessary information and tools, without overwhelming me with confusing jargon. Since that initial set up, they have reached out with additional resources (like the book Profit First) which has been so beneficial. Moxie Bookkeeping truly values their clients and looks for ways to help them succeed.”
—Darcy Rogers

“I am so pleased with Moxie Bookkeeping. I called several other companies inquiring about bookkeeping services and found them to be flaky, over priced, unprofessional, intimidating and just over all terrible customer service. I just kept searching online until finally, I called Moxie and from my first phone call, I knew these people were honest, truthful and professional. The entire staff was wonderful and helped me get my books together just in time for tax season. I am so grateful to them and wholeheartedly encourage anybody considering a bookkeeping company to use Moxie.”
—Monica Heller

“My CPA firm has worked with Ean and Moxie for many years and have many clients in common. Her team provides outstanding service to creative and not-for-profit organizations and I always enjoy working with them!”
—Gary Eisenkraft, Owner at Eisenkraft CPA & Consulting Services

“I was Ean's coaching client for a couple of years. She taught me a great deal about working toward my own goals, communicating with clients, and managing my time effectively. A number of things we discussed together truly resonated and have stuck with me ever since.”
—Eva Dawson, Web Translator at Fédération des caisses Desjardins du Québec

“Ean doesnt mess around with bookkeeping. Like her company name, she's fulla MOXIE. Which is nice, considering that bookkeepers are a dry, papery bunch. Not Ean. She tells it like it is, with humor and creativity. And she balances the books at the end of the day! Hot-cha! Best of both worlds.”
—Matt Levy, Partner at The Levys' Unique New York!

“Ean is well-versed in Quickbooks and bookkeeping practices. She is passionate about teaching entrepreneurs and small businesses the importance of maintaining good bookkeeping standards. Her patience and willingness to share her time and experience has been priceless and I recommend her highly.”
—Patricia T. Warner, Executive Coach at Columbia University

“Ean and her team at Moxie Bookkeeping has been a long-time partner of Valiant Technology. Valiant started working with Ean over 10 years ago and the partnership has been instrumental for our growth. The Moxie team understands Valiant’s unique challenges and allows us to focus on our core mission to deliver great technology for our clients. I would recommend Moxie without reservation; we liked them so much we left and then came back!”
—Georg Dauterman, Founder/President at Valiant Technology

“Moxie Bookkeeping is uniquely suited to help small nonprofits keep their finances well organized while empowering individual staff people with diverse backgrounds and interests to not only maintain but understand the value of good financial and administrative systems.”
—Lisa Stein, Chief Operating Officer, Lantern Community Services

”Hired Ean for help setting up Quickbooks. I needed help getting my books in order with my new company, and Ean made the process easy breezy.”
—Clint Hild, Owner, Bitfire, Inc.
