About Me
Josiah Moffitt EA
Software Engineer turned Bookkeeper and Tax Preparer
When discussing starting a bookkeeping business, my wife encouraged me with “You are going from a boring job to the most boring job!” I moved to Cedar Rapids in 2010 to work as a software engineer. During that time, I joined the board of a non-profit in Des Moines and became the treasurer in 2014. I learned a lot about bookkeeping on the board, but more importantly, I learned how to communicate the finances to the board. In the meetings where I communicated well, we were able to speed through decisions. Bookkeeping interests me because of the puzzles that arise when deciphering books and information revealed in financial reports.
I currently live in Marion, IA, with my wife, Grace, and three children, Hosanna, Maranatha, and Moses. I am anticipating the day when my children learn to count so that they can join me in this exciting endeavor.
Why Erastus?
Erastus (pronounced “ih-ras-tuhs”) was a 1st-century treasurer who lived in Rome. He is mentioned three times in the Bible, recognized for his position of financial responsibility and his service alongside the apostle Paul during his missionary journeys. Erastus exemplified trust, diligence, and integrity—qualities that are central to managing finances and serving others.
At Erastus Bookkeeping, we strive to embody these same values in our work. Our goal is to build trust with our clients by providing dependable, accurate, and professional bookkeeping services.
