Jacobson Lawrence & Company

Comprehensive Accounting & Bookkeeping Solutions

Serving Central Virginia—including Richmond, Mechanicsville, Hanover, and surrounding areas—Jacobson Lawrence & Company (formerly Rue & Associates) offers one of the widest ranges of accounting options in our industry. From basic bookkeeping to sophisticated CFO-level services performed by trained professionals, every engagement is tailored to fit the way you work.

Prefer to keep your data on your own systems? Want us to host and maintain it? Need a hybrid setup? We support all three. Secure electronic data exchange lets us synchronize, back up, and safeguard your records while giving you anywhere/anytime access to current reports through the Internet.

Basic Books

Our accounting professionals compile financial statements and management reports based on the transactions you provide. Sometimes called “after-the-fact” bookkeeping: we review transactions, reconcile cash, and generate accurate reporting packages.

Full Charge Books

We do the processing for you. Send us your source data and we handle day-to-day transaction entry, reconciliations, and internal reporting so you always know where you stand.

Controller Package

Need higher-level oversight but want to keep processing in-house? We design procedures, coach your staff, review closes, and help you produce timely, reliable financial statements. Get controller expertise on call—without adding a full-time salary.

CFO Package

For growing organizations ready to level up. We provide strategic Chief Financial Officer functions: financial and tax planning, capital and equity management, cash-flow strategy, KPI dashboards, and board-ready reporting to help you reach the next stage.

Custom Package

Every business is different. Mix and match the components you need today and adjust as your needs change. Our flexible engagement model scales with you.


Accounting Software Support

We support most major accounting applications—including QuickBooks, ACCPAC, Peachtree/Sage 50, and many more. Data can live on your servers, our secure environment, or a synchronized combination of both. Local pickup and delivery of source documents is available in the Richmond metro area for your convenience.

Virtual Accounting (Cooperative Processing)

Want to collaborate in real time? Our Internet-based accounting platform lets you perform any portion of the bookkeeping process you prefer while we handle the rest. Access your applications through any modern browser, anytime, anywhere. We were among the first accounting firms in the region to deliver this level of remote capability—and we continue to refine it.

The result? Flexibility without the headaches and hidden costs of maintaining complex in-house accounting systems and IT support. Security, backups, and version control are built in. Our team can step in to support or cover for your staff when needed, and we provide training to get everyone up to speed quickly.

Electronic Document Management & Paperless Office

All client data and reports are stored in a secure electronic document management system. Whether you are in Richmond, Mechanicsville, Hanover, elsewhere in Virginia, or operating remotely, you have quick access to commonly requested reports in standard digital formats—with the confidence that they are securely backed up.

Going paperless saves time, reduces storage costs, and simplifies audit support. It is an integral part of our Virginia accounting services and is available to all clients.

Ready to Outsource Your Bookkeeping & Accounting?

There has never been a better time. Outsourcing frees your internal team to focus on growth while we handle the numbers, compliance, and reporting.
