Introducing Axis Outsourced Accounting
At Axiom, we’ve spent years walking alongside business owners—many of them first-generation entrepreneurs—who’ve built strong companies through grit, instinct, and relentless work ethic. We’ve helped them implement operating systems, clarify their vision, align their teams, and prepare for growth or exit.
But again and again, we kept running into the same problem.
Even the best-run companies often had a blind spot: unclear or outdated financials.
Sometimes it was delayed bookkeeping. Other times it was overly complicated reports that didn’t actually tell the owner what they needed to know. In many cases, the numbers were right—but there was no one interpreting them, spotting problems, or offering strategic insight.
So we built a solution. And today, we’re proud to announce the launch of:
Axis Outsourced Accounting
A sister company to Axiom, built to help business owners gain clarity, confidence, and strategic control over their financials.
Why Axis Exists
Axis was born out of a real need we saw in the trenches. Business owners we worked with—didn’t just need a bookkeeper to reconcile the accounts. They needed:
Timely data they could trust
A simple way to understand their numbers
Strategic interpretation of what the numbers meant
Most of the existing options didn’t deliver that. Either the service was too slow, too transactional, or too disconnected from the owner’s decision-making process.
At Axiom, our clients were asking us:
“Who do you trust for accounting?”
“Can you help me get better visibility into my financials?”
“I need someone who gets how my business actually works—not just someone who does the books.”
Now we can point them to Axis.
Meet JoAnna Kelso, Axis Managing Director
We knew that to do this right, we needed the right leader. Someone who not only knew accounting but also understood leadership, operations, and the realities of running a small business.
That’s why we brought in JoAnna Kelso.
JoAnna brings years of experience in both accounting and organizational leadership. She’s not just a technician—she’s a guide. She knows how to sit across from a business owner, cut through the noise, and translate the numbers into actionable insight.
Under JoAnna’s leadership, Axis is already delivering on what we promised: weekly reconciled financials, clear dashboards, and proactive guidance that helps owners make better decisions.
What Axis Offers
Here’s a quick look at what sets Axis apart from traditional bookkeeping or outsourced accounting services:
Weekly Reconciled Financials
Your books aren’t useful if they’re a month behind.
Axis reconciles your accounts every week, so you always know where you stand—no surprises, no guesswork. That means tighter cash flow awareness, faster decision-making, and better control.
Custom Financial Dashboards
Most business owners don’t want to dig through a 6-page report —they want the numbers that matter, in a format they can understand.
Axis creates clean, visual dashboards tailored to your business. You’ll know what’s coming in, what’s going out, what’s improving, and what’s drifting—all at a glance.
Strategic Insight Into the Numbers
This is where Axis really stands out.
JoAnna and her team don’t just deliver numbers—they deliver meaning. Whether it's spotting margin erosion, flagging trends in labor or COGS, or preparing you for a strategic decision, you’ll get financial leadership, not just reporting.
Seamless Integration With Axiom Strategy
As a sister company to Axiom, Axis plugs directly into the operating system work we do. That means your financials will align with your business goals, your KPIs, and your quarterly planning rhythms.
If you’re an Axiom client—or thinking about becoming one—Axis becomes a natural extension of the strategic work you’re already doing.
Who It's For
Axis is built for the same kind of business owners we love serving at Axiom:
Owner-operators running professional service firms, trades, manufacturing, or home services businesses
Companies doing between $500K and $15M in annual revenue
Leaders who are ready to stop flying blind and start making decisions based on real data
Teams who either need to fully outsource their accounting or need additional support
You don’t have to know everything about accounting to benefit. In fact, that’s the point—we speak your language and make the numbers work for your growth.
Even though Axis is a new brand, it’s already operating—and we’re proud to say the early feedback from our clients has been strong:

Final Word: Why This Matters
At Axiom, we’ve always believed that clarity leads to confidence—and confidence leads to better leadership. That’s why we created Axis.
Your financials shouldn’t be a source of confusion or stress. They should be a strategic advantage. They should empower you to lead well, grow responsibly, and make smart, confident decisions.
With Axis Outsourced Accounting, that’s exactly what we’re delivering.
