You are smart, creative, and gutsy.

You saw a need, built a business, and have learned an encyclopedia's worth of things along the way.

You have done the hard things, stepped outside your comfort zone, and turned your idea into reality. But oh, the paperwork!!

The piles of receipts are getting higher, the invoices keep on coming, and you're not sure when you'll have time to get to all of it. And do you even WANT to get to it? It'll mean hours of your time, entering numbers into the computer, trying to remember what in the world that expense was for.

Going from DIY to OWYDLDY

(OWYDLDY: Outsourcing What You Don't Like Doing Yourself). Yes, I made that acronym up. Nope, I don't think it'll catch on - but you get the picture! In the early days of your business you had to do it all yourself. Now, you're finally at the point when you can outsource some of the work.

There are a lot of things you love about what you do, but managing your finances is not one of them. If it were, you wouldn't be here!

You're not alone.

Businesses I serve

Women Owned Businesses

Being in business as a woman is unique. We are the queens of multitasking – maybe a little too well sometimes! Maybe you are juggling babies and a business, planning the next week’s menus while filling orders, or cleaning your toilets late at night because that’s the only time it’s gonna happen. I understand the struggles, and am glad to be right there along with you!

Chiropractors & Wellness Centers

Don’t let your business books get out of joint! I can get them snapped back into shape, and give you hours of your time back each month. You built your business on caring for your clients and bringing them back to their healthiest self – you didn’t do it to spend weekends entering expenses into bookkeeping software! Let’s work together so that you can love your business again.

Churches & Nonprofits

Tracking donations for tax purposes, classifying money in different funds, preparing for audits – finances for a church or nonprofit can be dizzying at best! It might be time to make the change from a member doing the bookkeeping on a volunteer basis to having your own dedicated bookkeeper.

Birthing Centers & Midwives

Walking a mother through her pregnancy and being there to support her as she brings a new baby into the world is thrilling, rewarding, and life-giving (in more ways than one!).  You are there for the whole process – who is there for you? … Read More

Schools & Tutors

You may have thought you liked math – until you had to do your taxes! Or maybe you are fluent in many languages, just not the language of debits and credits. I can help you manage your income and expenses, track by classes or teacher, and make looking at your finances feel like summer vacation!
