Most businesses contact me when their accounting numbers stop making sense. The bank will not reconcile, payroll reports do not match the books, inventory and COGS are wrong, or financial statements cannot be trusted. Often the books appear complete, but the underlying accounting structure is broken. This is where most of my work begins. I specialize in stepping into accounting systems that have become messy, inconsistent, or unreliable and rebuilding them into accurate financial records that business owners can rely on. My work often involves identifying where the breakdown occurred, correcting the accounting structure, and restoring financial reporting that management can actually use. I have more than 15 years of hands-on accounting experience across industries including construction, manufacturing, e-commerce, healthcare, and technology startups. I operate Bloss Financial Services as a one-person accounting practice, which means clients work directly with the accountant doing the work. Nothing is outsourced and every engagement receives direct attention from start to finish. Services • Bookkeeping cleanup (monthly or multi-year) • Accounting system repairs in QuickBooks, Sage, and Xero • Bank and credit card reconciliation cleanup • Financial statement reconstruction when records do not tie out • Inventory, COGS, and job costing structure • Payroll reconciliation and payroll tax compliance corrections • Controller-level financial reporting and oversight Past Results • Rebuilt two years of Sage accounting records for a metal foundry, including intercompany cleanup and corrected financial reporting. • Corrected Shopify, A2X, and Xero mapping issues for an e-commerce fashion brand and implemented proper COGS tracking. • Diagnosed and corrected multi-state payroll tax and business registration issues for an e-commerce company, closing unnecessary state accounts and restoring compliant payroll reporting. • Established job costing system for an excavation company, enabling accurate tracking of labor, materials, and equipment costs by project. • Fully reconstructed the general ledger for a mental health clinic after offshore bookkeeping errors created unreliable financial statements. • Built investor-ready financial statements (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) for a fintech startup using raw transactional data. • Created an automated cash flow forecasting calendar for an e-commerce retail business to project revenue, inventory purchases, and operating expenses. Accounting Diagnostic Review Many clients are not sure what is actually wrong with their accounting system. Before beginning a large cleanup, I often start with a diagnostic review of the books. During this review I examine the accounting file, reconciliation history, financial statements, and supporting reports to identify where problems are occurring. The result is a written summary outlining: • reconciliation issues • incorrect chart of accounts structure • payroll or tax reporting discrepancies • inventory and COGS problems • financial statement inconsistencies • recommended steps required to correct the books This allows business owners to clearly understand what needs to be fixed before investing in a full cleanup project. About My Practice Bloss Financial Services is intentionally structured as a one-accountant practice. Clients work directly with the person analyzing the books, diagnosing the problems, and implementing the solutions. This approach avoids the common situation where accounting work is delegated through layers of staff and ensures that complex financial issues receive experienced attention. Engagement Options I work with clients in several ways: • One-time accounting cleanup and diagnostics • Financial statement reconstruction • Catch-up bookkeeping and reconciliation repair • Ongoing remote accounting support If your books do not reconcile, your financial statements do not match reality, or previous bookkeeping created confusion, I can help identify the problem and fix it.

I am a CPA with a background in financial reporting, technical accounting and controllership functions. I am licensed in TX and ID. I have been on the Upwork platform since 2023 and the clients that have hired me have retained me because of my critical thinking and technical accounting strengths. Because of the volume of interview requests, the best way to get an immediate response is by direct messaging me :) I have experience in accounting systems including QBO, Rent Manager, MS office including excel - have built and worked with schedules that increase operation efficiency, Gusto, Expensify, Brex, Stripe, Appfolio, Sharefile, and Bill.com. I have experience integrating all these tools with QBO. Startup experience includes proforma f/s, CAC, ARR, MRR analytics, preparing and tracking cap tables, Carta experience as well as 409A valuations in Carta. My goal is to build my niche in the startup world. I really enjoy adding value these budding organizations as it is an incredibly rewarding process. My story- I began my career working in financial reporting and moved to public accounting where I had clients in the financial services, real estate, financial tech, retail and state and local agencies. From there onwards, I moved into senior management roles in fortune 500 companies that involved more strategic decision making, adding value in a more direct manner, interacting with C-suite members and implementing process efficiencies. With this experience in tow (and a significant amount of burnout), I decided to join Upwork to take a break from the corporate life that I had been in for about 2 decades then. My journey with Upwork has been incredibly rewarding in that it has been the culmination of everything that I have learned in school and work thus far. My corporate role experiences, the diversity in my industry experience and every interaction that I have ever had in my life lend a unique blend of skill set that allows me to serve my clients in way that blends day to day accounting with a touch of higher level strategic thinking. I am well versed in day to day bookkeeping as well as month end, quarter end and year end close. I am able to handle complex accounting issues, help with streamlining close and delivering financials that will give my clients a clear picture of their business’ financial performance. My work ethic is about getting the job done, being detail oriented and communicating timely. I respect my clients’ deadlines and being available to them when they need me. Thank you for reading my profile and I look forward to hearing from you.
