The NVO team is comprised of individuals, all with varying experience levels so the needs and desires of our clients can be filled with qualified, but appropriately priced resources on a part-time or full-time basis. Our lack of overhead further allows us to provide the lowest possible rates for high-quality, responsive accounting. Employees are carefully selected to fill the exact roles our clients need and want.
Our employees continually work to find the most efficient way to perform tasks without sacrificing accuracy. Because of our flexible work schedules, we are usually available at times when internal accounting departments, or other remote offices, are not. Not every accounting issue arises between 8:59 AM and 5:01 PM, and for that reason we make ourselves available at all hours possible.
Nordstrom Virtual Office is founded on a set of values.
Credible
We are a team of honest and trustworthy individuals. We are dedicated
to exceeding our clients’ expectations of confidentiality and integrity.
Responsive
Our clients come first and we are a committed to providing the best
possible service and working with them to meet their requirements and
deadlines. This is possible through our highly dedicated, flexible
staff. The same flexibility that allows us to strike a rich
work/personal balance allows us to be responsive to our clients’ needs.
Accurate
We are focused on implementing checks and balances to ensure the
highest possible level of accuracy and completeness in our work.
Innovative
We strive to stray from the norm in providing virtual back office
services by utilizing leading technology and creatively finding
practical methods to provide the most efficient services to
clients. We also apply this efficiency to the internal operations
of NVO, allowing us to provide services at the lowest possible rates.
Furthermore, we continually, actively seek the best way to complete
tasks and serve our clients.
Real
We are committed to being ourselves. NVO employs staff who are fun in
and out of the work environment; who are sociable and good
communicators. Though ultimately NVO is a business, we value the
concept of maintaining a balance between work and personal life and
understand that the concept has different meaning to different people.
While we are a company that aggressively pursues new opportunities,
NVO's culture is about balanced ambition that will continue to reward
well-rounded people as they fuel our successful company. We recognize
the unique challenges for a remote office company, and thus
communicating at every level from the important to trivial issue is
central to building and nurturing solid, trusting relationships.
Green
To the extent possible, we operate a paperless work environment where
all documents are stored electronically, or recycle when electronic
storage is not possible. We encourage our clients to do the same.
Our Community and Environment
