If your books are falling behind, or you're just tired of guessing where your cash is going, I can help.
I'm a U.S.-based bookkeeper with over 5 years of experience and a Master's degree in Accounting, working exclusively with U.S. small businesses.
I'm a certified QuickBooks Online and Xero Advisor, so whether you're already set up or need a system built from scratch, I can hit the ground running.
What I handle for clients:
✅ Full-cycle monthly bookkeeping & bank/credit card reconciliation
✅ QuickBooks Online & Xero setup, cleanup, and ongoing maintenance
✅ Accounts payable & receivable management
✅ Payroll processing
✅ Sales tax tracking and filing
✅ Financial forecasting & cash flow projections
✅ Monthly financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
I work with small businesses across all industries — no niche restrictions — so whether you're a contractor, an online store, a consultant, or a local service business, I can adapt to your chart of accounts and reporting needs.
I'm comfortable with both ongoing monthly retainer work and one-time cleanup/catch-up projects. If your books haven't been touched in months (or longer), that's exactly the kind of project I enjoy fixing.
Because I'm U.S.-based, I understand U.S. accounting standards, payroll tax rules, and state sales tax requirements — no time zone gaps, no communication friction.
Let's set up a quick call to look at where your books stand and figure out the right plan. I usually reply within a few hours.

I build email marketing systems that turn leads into customers, and customers into repeat buyers.
Most businesses don’t have an email problem.
They have a follow-up problem.
Leads come in without nurturing. Campaigns get sent without strategy. Automations exist but don’t connect into a real revenue system.
That’s where I help.
I work with eCommerce brands, service businesses, coaches, and SaaS companies to build high-converting email ecosystems using automation, strategy, CRM workflows, and conversion-focused campaigns.
