One of Oxnard Chamber's newest members EVmatch is a peer-to-peer network for electric vehicle (EV) charging that harnesses the power of sharing to immediately create more charging options that are reliable and reservable.

Through EVmatch, homeowners and businesses in California and Colorado can rent out their private charging stations, earning money and supporting more EVs on the road. EV drivers leverage the sharing economy to easily find, reserve, and pay for charging with a few quick clicks on the EVmatch app.

EVmatch empowers a new generation of EV owners by providing a reliable and convenient charging solution to those lacking dedicated charging access, such as renters and multi-unit dwellers.

The company’s Commercial Hosting service allows businesses, hotels, multi-unit dwellings, and other commercial sites to install and rent out an affordable smart charger. Commercial hosts can earn revenue and grow their business by offering charging to employees, customers, or the public.

EV drivers, charging station owners, and businesses are encouraged to sign up for the growing network and learn more about Commercial Hosting at www.evmatch.com.

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!
