I’m a QuickBooks Online–focused bookkeeper helping small businesses and accounting firms keep their books clean, accurate, and ready for month-end close. I specialize in ongoing bookkeeping support, reconciliations, and cleanup work, taking ownership of accuracy and follow-through. I’ve handled cleanups and reconciliations going back multiple years, including untangling prior errors, matching books to statements, and bringing accounts current so financials are usable again. What I’m best at: • Monthly transaction categorization and bank/credit card reconciliations • Cleaning up past months and correcting misposted or uncategorized activity • Maintaining clean balance sheets and reliable P&Ls • Supporting firms or business owners with consistent, deadline-driven bookkeeping I’m Intuit-certified in QuickBooks Online and comfortable stepping into existing workflows, following established processes, and asking the right questions when something doesn’t look right. I’m currently taking on one new client and looking for a long-term working relationship where I can provide steady, dependable bookkeeping support month after month.
