I do one thing: rental property bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online, remotely. I’ve worked with portfolios of 65+ properties - Long-term rentals, Airbnb, VRBO, and mixed portfolios. One property or multiple QBO accounts, the goal is the same: clean, accurate books you can actually rely on. The first thing I’d do is understand your setup -your properties, your platforms, where your books stand right now. From there, I handle reconciliations, Airbnb and VRBO payout tracking, matching deposits to invoices, security deposits, trust accounting, and property management statements. If your books are months or years behind, I clean that up too. I’m QuickBooks ProAdvisor certified. Accounting degree🎓. Need help with your rental books? Send me a message - I’d love to help!

Every month your books stay messy, you’re making business decisions on bad data. That’s not a bookkeeping problem. That’s a revenue problem. I’m a QuickBooks Online and Xero specialist who does one thing exceptionally well: I take disorganized, behind, or broken books and turn them into clean, accurate, audit-ready financials fast, without hand-holding, and without errors slipping through. Here’s what that actually means for your business: Your bank accounts reconcile to the penny every month. Invoices go out on time and overdue payments get followed up. Your P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow statements are ready when you need them not two weeks later. And when tax season or an audit arrives, nothing catches you off guard. I’ve supported business owners in retail, hospitality, and professional services handling high-volume daily transactions, cleanup projects, catch-up backlogs, and ongoing full-cycle bookkeeping. If your books are 3 months behind or 3 years behind, I’ve seen worse and fixed it. What I specialize in: → QuickBooks Online & Xero: setup, cleanup, catch-up, and ongoing management → Bank Reconciliation: zero-discrepancy monthly reconciliation across all accounts → Accounts Receivable & Payable: invoicing, aging reports, collections follow-ups, vendor management → Financial Reporting: P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow built for real decision-making → Bookkeeping Cleanup & Catch-Up: messy or years-behind books corrected accurately → Stripe Dispute Documentation: chargeback evidence organized to protect your revenue Also proficient in Zoho Books, Sage, Excel, and Google Sheets. Who I work best with: Business owners and founders who are done losing time chasing their own numbers, and ready to hand off their books to someone who treats their financials like their own. Available for one-time cleanup projects and ongoing monthly support. If your books aren’t telling you a clear story about your business, let’s fix that. Send me a message and I’ll tell you exactly where I can help within 24 hours.
