About Us
Professional Bookkeeping Firm
About Our Founder
Janice Zollo-Ridenour, a native of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, discovered her passion for accounting early in life as a member of the inaugural graduating class of the Academy of Finance in 1987. That formative experience ignited a lifelong commitment to financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and service.
In 1995, Janice moved to Palm Beach County, where she initially served as the bookkeeper for her family’s HVACR business. Two years later, she founded her own firm specializing in QuickBooks bookkeeping and consulting services. Headquartered in West Palm Beach, her company has provided trusted financial support to businesses both locally and nationwide for nearly three decades.
Janice is deeply rooted in the Palm Beach business community. She is an active member of the Palm Beach Executives Association and a Trustee of the Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce, having previously served as Treasurer. Her leadership extends beyond business—she has served on multiple boards and remains committed to mentorship, believing strongly in giving back to help others grow professionally and personally.
Janice is married to Greg Ridenour, a retired Fort Lauderdale police officer. Together, they have raised two daughters, both of whom are proudly serving their communities as nurses. With a career built on integrity, experience, and a heartfelt commitment to others, Janice continues to empower clients and colleagues alike through expert financial guidance and community involvement.
J. Zollo & Associates, Inc. is a professional bookkeeping firm specializing in QuickBooks, the most popular accounting software in America. We are Certified QuickBooks Pro Advisors headquartered in Palm Beach County, Florida, providing professional services to our clients nationwide since 1997.
“Full Charge” Bookkeeping
The title “Bookkeeper” has evolved and no longer addresses the specific skillset for which it was intended. This leaves businesses and other organizations, families and individuals without the assurance that the bookkeeper they’re either considering or whom they currently employ is a full charge bookkeeper and can accurately prepare a company’s records for review by a certified public accountant.
Freelance bookkeepers and other entrepreneurs, and even many QuickBooks Pro Advisors, may be quite adept at the QuickBooks program itself, but lack the skills and knowledge required to produce truly accurate financials. Often, a business owner may employ such a bookkeeper, realize there is something wrong or missing, but can’t quite articulate the issue.
So then, “why not just hire an accountant?” Because, while accountants do have the tools necessary to keep your books, 1) they command much higher fees, 2) they don’t have the time, nor is it their job to train your bookkeeper, and 3) an accountant’s preferred skillset is in a different area than a bookkeeper’s.
