Hi, I’m Lauren. I have over 20 years of bookkeeping experience, with a strong focus on construction and trades. I’m a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and an Intuit Certified Bookkeeper, and I’ve spent years helping contractors get their books caught up, cleaned up, and maintained in a way that actually supports how they work. A lot of the businesses I take on don’t realize what’s missing until we start looking closer. Accounts haven’t been reconciled regularly, invoices get buried in email, subcontractor paperwork isn’t tracked, and payroll and payroll tax requirements aren’t being handled consistently. I’ve rebuilt entire years of records so clients could file correctly and move forward without ongoing stress. My role is to put simple, repeatable processes around the financial side of the business so things don’t fall through the cracks again. That includes keeping books accurate and up to date, assigning costs to the correct jobs, organizing documents, and making sure payroll and tax obligations are handled properly and on time. I also work across the software tools contractors commonly use and help make sure they’re set up in a way that actually works together: QuickBooks Online for core accounting and reporting Buildertrend, Contractor Foreman, Structur, Jobber and similar platforms for job and project tracking Payroll systems such as Gusto and ADP Spreadsheets for job costing, tracking, and custom workflows when software alone isn’t enough When the foundation is set up correctly, you get clear financial statements you can use — for loans, equipment purchases, planning future projects, and understanding how your business is actually performing. Job costs make sense, overhead is visible, and past projects can be used to estimate future work more accurately. Part of what I do is also education. Not in a technical or overwhelming way, but in helping you understand what should be happening behind the scenes, so you know what to expect, even if you’re not the one doing the work. If your books are behind, disorganized, or causing ongoing stress, I can help get things back under control and keep them that way. I look forward to connecting and supporting your business needs!
