Barton and Robin Davis met back in 1976, shortly after Robin's "water broke." That's right, E.T. and Robin are mother and daughter and Robin was all of 5 years old at the time (at least that's the story Robin's sticking to!). Both mother and daughter got into bookkeeping shortly after high school (because it's in the genes), and through the years have encouraged each other to begin their own bookkeeping companies. Since E.T's passion lies in writing, and Robin's lies in bookkeeping, they've decided to team up and share their collective knowledge in a way that is simple and entertaining for the "Average Business Joe." Oh - and Bookkeepers will like it too.
