Tired of second-guessing your deductions?

I crunch the numbers so you don't have to.

After 7 years of bookkeeping for everything from small creative businesses to a multi-million dollar restaurant group, I know how to turn messy financials into clean, accurate books.

I won't overwhelm you with reports you can't understand. I love when everything has its place and actually makes sense (color-coded anything? Yes, please!). I meet you where you are, explain things in plain language, and create systems that feel easy to maintain.

I always turn on a lamp before working (soft lighting just helps me focus), love a good Google Sheet, and I genuinely care about your wins, whether that's hitting a revenue goal or feeling more confident when you open your bank account.

My Approach

When you work with me, you get:

Organized, stress-free books that stay ready for tax time.

Clarity around your income, expenses, and cash flow.

A trusted partner who treats your business like their own.

About the Process

We start with a diagnostic review. Before we do anything, I need to understand where your books actually stand (no shame, I have seen it all!). I'll review your QuickBooks (or messy spreadsheet 🙈), spot what needs fixing, and give you a clear picture of what we're working with.

Then we build a system that fits your business. Cookie-cutter processes don't work because no two businesses operate the same way. I'll set up your chart of accounts, create workflows that make sense for how you actually work, and make sure everything is organized in a way that's easy to maintain.

You get consistent monthly support. Bookkeeping isn't a one-and-done project. Every month, I'll handle your transaction categorization, reconcile your accounts, and deliver reports that actually make sense. You'll always know where your numbers stand, and everything stays ready for your CPA.

And I coordinate with your CPA. Tax time shouldn't be stressful. I make sure your books are clean, organized, and ready to hand off so your CPA can do their job without charging you extra for cleanup work.
