I am a detail-oriented bookkeeping professional with a background in accounting and auditing, seeking QuickBooks Online bookkeeping and cleanup projects for small businesses. Whether you need someone to tackle a backlog, manage ongoing monthly books, or bring order to messy financials, I bring the experience and reliability to get it done right. My path in finance started with an accounting degree and early career experience as an auditor, giving me a strong foundation in accuracy and attention to detail. From there, I moved into financial accounting and bookkeeping, where I found my stride partnering with small business owners - digging into the details so they have the clean, current financial information they need to run their business. Along the way, I launched my own business - a home staging business - and have managed all of the financials myself. That experience gave me firsthand understanding of the challenges small business owners face when it comes to keeping books current and staying on top of cash flow. That's exactly what drives the work I do now. Whether you're behind on reconciliations, or are looking for reliable monthly bookkeeping maintenance, I'm here to help. Let's connect!
