The mission of the Autism Society Ventura County is to improve the lives of all affected by Autism. They work to promote lifelong access and opportunity for all individuals within the autism spectrum and their families to be fully included members of the community. They achieve this through education, advocacy, the promotion of research, increasing public awareness, programs, and collaboration with other agencies.
 
ASVC members are mostly individuals and families who have children with autism. Their membership also includes local service providers, educators and professionals who are interested in furthering the organization’s mission. Their board members are all volunteers. Membership is open to any individual, family, or community member. By Joining the Autism Society, individuals within Ventura County automatically become members of ASVC.

Our Employees: The Secret to Our Success

Since we opened our doors at JR Bookkeeping in 2012, we’ve been passionate about the community we call home. Our founder, Juliana Ramirez, and her sister, COO Natalia, grew up in Carpinteria and both live in Oxnard.

​Juliana studied at Santa Barbara City College, and Natalia at Oxnard College and Cal Lutheran. Ninety-seven percent of our clients are from Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.

However, community means more to us than just living and working in Ventura County. It means giving back. By providing jobs to a small staff of 10 employees (all locals, by the way), we’re helping others to live, work and invest in our community.

Our Employees are Your Partners

We believe that our employees are truly our greatest asset. Because of them, we’re able to provide the second-to-none service in which we take so much pride.

At JR Bookkeeping, each of our clients is assigned their own personal bookkeeper. This means that every client receives one-to-one, individualized service from an expert who personally understands their unique needs and circumstances.

In other words, our employees aren’t just account managers. They’re partners with you.

Get Peace of Mind…and Coffee on Us!
