Customized bookkeeping, coaching, and cash management services for those seeking: • accurate and current books • increased cash reserves • confidence when facing tax filings, audits, or lender reviews I genuinely desire to support my clients’ success. As a certified Advanced QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and experienced Wave user I specialize in cloud-based accounting. I've served clients based across the United States as well as in Canada and the United Kingdom. I’ll help with accounting set-up, troubleshooting, maintenance, reporting, and the fundamentals of cash management. I offer quick and responsive service in combination with ethical, reliable, and thorough work. I’m experienced in dealing with both accrual and cash accounting systems, and with payroll, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. I'll help you understand your financial results as reported in the accounting software, and support you in using that understanding to improve operations, increase profitability and savings, and move more rapidly towards accomplishing any other specific results you have in mind for your business. MY IDEAL CLIENT: You are looking for a long-term professional collaboration. You understand that current and accurate accounting helps your business both survive and thrive. You are proactive about the bookkeeping for that reason, well in advance of any demands placed by government agencies, lenders, banks, granting organizations, or business partners. You operate ethically, avoiding non-compliance. SPEAKING OF COMPLIANCE: Please take note that bookkeepers face possible legal consequences if their clients pay employee or contractor hires "under the table," which can include claiming that employees are contractors, not issuing required 1099s or T4 slips , and paying bonuses off payroll. The same is true if you engage in off-the-books cash sales or if I see evidence of money laundering. If I find myself in any of the above scenarios, I'll disengage. Re: businesses that pursue multi-level (network / direct) marketing - I assess these on a case by case basis. THIS WON'T WORK OUT: If you're facing a bookkeeping emergency that requires fixing within 24 to 72 hours, I'm not the right candidate. If the above sounds good to you, please send me an invite or a direct message. Wishing you a great day!
