Our story

For nearly 24 years, Active Staffing Resources has connected great companies with exceptional talent across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Founder Joseph Vernachio started ASR after years watching businesses struggle with the same two problems from opposite directions: companies that couldn't find office and finance staff who actually fit their industry, and small businesses that needed real bookkeeping done without the cost of a full finance department.

Today ASR runs as two focused divisions under one roof, from our office in New Britain, PA. Our staffing team places bookkeepers, office professionals, and operations talent directly with your company across the tri-state area. Our Outsourced Bookkeeping Advisory Services division does the work itself — for businesses that need their books handled, not another req to manage.

What we believe

Local, not generic

We know the PA, NJ, and DE employers we work with. That's what lets our recruiters actually evaluate fit instead of just matching keywords.

Candidates are clients too

We tell candidates the truth about a role, the client, and the timeline — even when that means saying it's not a fit.

Books close on time, every time

For our advisory clients, a missed close deadline is a failure on our end, not a scheduling inconvenience.
