JCO Bookkeeping Firm
About JCO

A Philippine beginning.
A Canadian future.

JCO Bookkeeping Firm is me — Jeremy Ortega — and the firm I started in 2021. This is our story, told straight.

Our story

A Philippine beginning.
A Canadian future.

JCO Bookkeeping Firm started in the Philippines in 2021 with one belief: every business deserves organized, dependable financial records. Now that foundation is crossing an ocean.

2021

JCO begins. The firm starts in the Philippines, focused on bookkeeping, tax compliance, accounting, and documentation.

Roots

Local communities grow. JCO serves communities connected to Valenzuela, Oriental Mindoro, and the Metro Manila area.

Today

Building for Canada. Founder Jeremy Ortega is studying Accounting and Payroll Administration at Anderson College, earning a Canadian diploma while strengthening the skills behind the firm's service, on the path to becoming a CPA in Ontario.

Next

Canada is coming. The firm is introducing its brand now and preparing for a future Canadian launch — carrying forward the same commitment to organized, dependable financial work.

From Jeremy

This firm is personal

I’m Jeremy Ortega. I started JCO in the Philippines in 2021 because I watched good people — freelancers, small shop owners, families — lose money simply because nobody had ever shown them how their books work.

So I built the firm I wished they’d had: one that keeps your records steady, explains them in plain language, and gives the teaching away free. Every book, lesson, and calculator on this site is free because I believe knowledge shouldn’t be locked behind a paywall — nobody gets left behind.

Today I’m in Canada studying Accounting and Payroll Administration at Anderson College, preparing JCO’s Canadian home the careful way: brand first, doors open when everything is properly ready. Until then, this site is my handshake — get to know how I work, learn something useful, and say hello.

In the Philippines, JCO is also preparing satellite desks at Little Hands Learning and Development branches — Quezon City, Valenzuela City, Marilao (Bulacan), and Caloocan City. Coming soon; not yet open.

Our promise

Why everything here is free

Every video, calculator, lesson, book, and guide on this site is free for learners — no paywalls, no upsells, no catch.

Free to learn

Students and self-learners get everything: a full book, 28 daily lessons, calculators, videos, and guides. Knowledge should never be locked away.

Earn from clients

JCO earns from bookkeeping services — done-for-you books for businesses that would rather have an expert handle it. Education builds trust; service earns the business.

No one left behind

That's our philosophy: nobody should be shut out of financial knowledge because of money. Learn free here — and when you need a bookkeeper, we'll be here too.
