*I am a XERO-Certified Bookkeeper specializing in bringing organization and clarity to your business books. If you need help understanding your business numbers, I can help! *I can install accounting software, work with Excel, Google Sheets, templates, or spreadsheets. I can clean up your books so you can maintain them, or provide a Done-For-You Bookkeeping service, so you don't have to touch a number! *With a strong passion for organization, I have experience as a former professional organizer. While I can organize closets and junk drawers, my true passion lies in organizing the numbers in your business books. I really enjoy leading projects, making lists, checking things off, categorizing, putting things in buckets, reconciling, and doing all of the number nerdy things most people dislike. *As a skilled communicator, I can explain and simplify difficult concepts into easily-digestible information. My communication skills also extend to copywriting, editing, research, proofreading, and grammar-checking. I can do it all, leveraging my background as a former English major. *Communication is a top priority for me, and I am committed to staying in touch while I help you and your organization make the most of my skills to the best of my ability.

If your books are falling behind, or you're just tired of guessing where your cash is going, I can help. I'm a U.S.-based bookkeeper with over 5 years of experience and a Master's degree in Accounting, working exclusively with U.S. small businesses. I'm a certified QuickBooks Online and Xero Advisor, so whether you're already set up or need a system built from scratch, I can hit the ground running. What I handle for clients: ✅ Full-cycle monthly bookkeeping & bank/credit card reconciliation ✅ QuickBooks Online & Xero setup, cleanup, and ongoing maintenance ✅ Accounts payable & receivable management ✅ Payroll processing ✅ Sales tax tracking and filing ✅ Financial forecasting & cash flow projections ✅ Monthly financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) I work with small businesses across all industries — no niche restrictions — so whether you're a contractor, an online store, a consultant, or a local service business, I can adapt to your chart of accounts and reporting needs. I'm comfortable with both ongoing monthly retainer work and one-time cleanup/catch-up projects. If your books haven't been touched in months (or longer), that's exactly the kind of project I enjoy fixing. Because I'm U.S.-based, I understand U.S. accounting standards, payroll tax rules, and state sales tax requirements — no time zone gaps, no communication friction. Let's set up a quick call to look at where your books stand and figure out the right plan. I usually reply within a few hours.
