I'm a QuickBooks Online bookkeeper with 18+ years of bookkeeping and accounting experience, specializing in nonprofit bookkeeping, legal services bookkeeping, and established service-based businesses. I provide monthly bookkeeping, QuickBooks cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping, bank and credit card reconciliations, accounts payable, invoicing, payroll support, and financial reporting for organizations across the United States. LEGAL SERVICES & PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BOOKKEEPING Before starting my bookkeeping business, I spent more than two years managing the accounting department for a $1M+ court reporting firm. That experience gave me firsthand knowledge of the accounting and financial operations behind a busy legal-services business. I am especially interested in supporting: • Court reporting agencies • Legal videography companies • Deposition and deposition support services • Litigation support companies • Legal translation and interpreting services • Legal transcription services • Record retrieval and medical record retrieval companies • Process serving companies • Trial consulting and trial support businesses • E-discovery and document support services • Legal document preparation services • Expert witness and expert consulting firms • Forensic consulting businesses • Mediation and alternative dispute resolution services • Other established businesses serving law firms and the legal industry If your business has outgrown DIY bookkeeping but doesn't need the expense of an in-house accounting department, I can provide reliable ongoing bookkeeping and financial support while you focus on running your business. NONPROFIT BOOKKEEPING & ACCOUNTING I also specialize in nonprofit bookkeeping and hold a Nonprofit Financial Management Essentials Certificate from NonprofitReady. I work with nonprofit organizations that need accurate books, strong financial processes, and dependable reporting for management, boards, funders, and grant requirements. My nonprofit experience includes fund accounting, grant tracking and grant reporting, restricted and unrestricted fund tracking, program and class tracking, payroll, budgeting, reconciliations, and financial reporting. BOOKKEEPING & QUICKBOOKS SERVICES ✓ Monthly bookkeeping and month-end close ✓ QuickBooks Online (QBO) bookkeeping ✓ QuickBooks cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping ✓ QuickBooks setup and chart of accounts optimization ✓ Bank and credit card reconciliations ✓ Accounts payable (A/P) and bill management ✓ Customer invoicing support ✓ Payroll processing and payroll support ✓ Monthly financial statements and reporting ✓ Budget vs. actual reporting ✓ 1099 preparation support ✓ Nonprofit fund accounting ✓ Grant tracking and financial grant reporting ✓ Restricted and unrestricted fund tracking NEED TO CLEAN UP YOUR QUICKBOOKS? Cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping is also a major part of my work. If your QuickBooks file hasn't been reconciled in months, transactions have been incorrectly categorized, balances don't make sense, or you're trying to get your books ready for your CPA, I can help identify the problems and get your accounting organized. I work with nonprofits, court reporting and litigation support businesses, legal service providers, and other established service-based businesses throughout the United States. My goal is simple: accurate books, clear financial information, dependable communication, and bookkeeping you don't have to worry about. If you're looking for an experienced QuickBooks Online bookkeeper for ongoing monthly bookkeeping or a cleanup project, send me a message with a little information about your organization and what you need help with.
