QuickBooks Online & Desktop | Cleanup, Catch‑up, Reconciliation, Monthly Bookkeeping, Real Estate & Service‑Based Businesses Say goodbye to bookkeeping headaches. I help real estate investors and business owners keep their books organized, accurate, and easy to understand. Whether it’s rentals, fix‑and‑flips, rehabs, short‑term rentals, or everyday business finances, I clean up messy books, catch up backlogs, reconcile accounts, and create reports that actually make sense. My goal is simple: take the stress out of bookkeeping so you can stay focused on growing your business or portfolio. Clear, organized books you can trust, nothing confusing, nothing overwhelming. Think of me as your bookkeeping partner: reliable, friendly, and here to make your finances feel manageable again. My bookkeeping services include: ✔️ Rental property bookkeeping (SFRs, duplexes, multi‑family) ✔️ Fix‑and‑flip, rehab, and construction cost tracking (including holdbacks) ✔️ Short‑term rental bookkeeping (Airbnb, VRBO) ✔️ Tracking PITI escrow (taxes, insurance, mortgage principal/interest) ✔️ Class‑ and property‑level P&L reporting ✔️ Categorizing HUD‑1 and Closing Disclosure statements ✔️ Cleanup and catch‑up for messy or behind‑the‑scenes books ✔️ Bank, credit card, and loan reconciliations ✔️ Monthly bookkeeping & reconciliations ✔️ Monthly financial statements & reporting ✔️ Preparing reports for CPAs, accountants, or tax filing If you want your bookkeeping to be simple, organized, and stress‑free, I’d love to help.

I run a freelance accounting firm with emphasis on strong communication and high quality service. I perform all client work personally, with over 7 years of experience in the financial industry. My current portfolio of clients ranges from startup businesses ($0 revenue) up to about $4M in revenue. I enjoy the challenge and satisfaction that comes from completing a clean up project and handing off crisp financials with strong analysis to my clients. Once those systems are in process, I often continue working with my clients on an ongoing basis, though occasionally train them to handle their own work. I am certified in multiple accounting platforms and have experience working with a range of invoicing softwares, POS systems, and financial services applications. Prior to running my current firm, I worked in commercial and small business banking. This gives me a unique strength in understanding the logistics and health of your business's finances, and I am always looking for ways to recommend improvements for your business's financial efficiency, insight, and success.

I have 13 years of bookkeeping experience with mostly small to mid-size companies, that don't have the funds or need for a full-time bookkeeper. I have also worked with several large international clients in the telecommunications, travel, e-commerce and IT sectors. I have extensive experience in transaction entry, reconciliation, preparing financial reports, overseeing A/R, A/P and payroll, cash management, etc. I am very tech savvy and can learn any new process or software I have not come across before. I have strong experience with QuickBooks, Excel, Gusto, ADP, A2X and several other third party applications used in bookkeeping. My goal is to enable my clients to focus their valuable time and resources in other areas such as promoting growth and increasing profits.
