Why It Matters in Greencastle

Greencastle bookkeeping close to home

John Allison founded Greencastle in 1783 and named it after Greencastle in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The borough is surrounded by Antrim Township, and Interstate 81 passes nearby with exits at US 11 and PA 16. Along the interstate, Antrim Township has drawn large distribution buildings, including a Walmart fulfillment center of more than 1.5 million square feet near Exit 3. Every three years the town holds Old Home Week, a tradition dating to 1902.

Trucking firms, contractors and shops that serve that growth deal with fuel cards, equipment loans and customers on both sides of the state line. Monthly reconciliation keeps those accounts straight. Scott tracks payables and receivables, so you know what is due out and what is coming in.
