Jay Patterson — Accounting by Jay LLC
About Jay

An owner-operator who learned the books — so you don't have to.

I've driven all 48 states. I know what it's like to run a truck, manage fuel costs, chase down loads, and wonder at the end of the month whether you actually made money. That's why I studied accounting — and now I help operators like you keep clean books, file IFTA, and actually understand your numbers.

Based in Williston, ND. CDL holder since 2013. QuickBooks ProAdvisor Gold. Owner of Accounting by Jay LLC.
