About Us

BAVC was established by a group of professional bookkeepers in Ventura County inspired by our sister organization, Santa Barbara Bookkeepers Association. Our goal is to bring local bookkeepers together for the purpose of mutual support and networking. BAVC has become a dynamic organization comprised primarily of independent bookkeepers located throughout Ventura County.

We encourage all our members to participate in various committees. This provides an opportunity to create friendships and share ideas on a more personal level. Please email any one of the officers with questions on these committees, or call the BAVC message line at (805) 628-2282. The committees consist of:
  • Speakers Committee
