I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) helping small and medium-sized businesses maintain clean, structured, and reliable financial records. Many SMEs struggle with inconsistent bookkeeping, unreconciled accounts, and financial reports that don’t truly reflect the health of the business. I step in to bring order, accuracy, and clarity — so you can make decisions with confidence. I specialize in: • Bookkeeping using QuickBooks, Xero, and Wave • Catch-up and cleanup bookkeeping • Bank and credit card reconciliations • Financial statement preparation (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) • Audit and tax-ready financial documentation My approach is detail-oriented, structured, and aligned with professional accounting standards. I don’t just record transactions — I ensure your financial records are accurate, compliant, and easy to understand. If you are an SME looking for dependable bookkeeping support and financial clarity, I would be glad to support your business.
