What I take off your plate

Straightforward bookkeeping support, built around QuickBooks, so you can spend less time on spreadsheets and more time running your business.

Monthly bookkeeping

Ongoing reconciliation, categorization, and reporting so your books stay current and accurate all year.

QuickBooks setup

Catch-up & cleanup

Behind on your books or inherited a mess? I'll sort through the backlog and get things current.

Payroll journal entries

Recording payroll transactions from your provider's reports so your books reflect payroll accurately.

I don't run or process payroll itself.

Training & support

Want to keep your own books but need a better handle on QuickBooks? I'll walk you through it.

Financial reports

Clear profit & loss and balance sheet reports, explained in plain language, not jargon.

Service area

Every engagement is remote, so location is never a barrier — but I focus on getting to know businesses close to home.

A different kind of finance background

I've always been drawn to helping people and businesses function better. Over the years working in physical therapy, I helped patients get back to what they enjoy doing. Now I get the same satisfaction from numbers — digging into the details, solving problems, and keeping things organized — so small service business owners can get their time back for the things they enjoy, instead of being buried in their books.
