◆ WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME
CLEANUP, CATCH-UP & PROBLEM SOLVING
I don’t simply categorize transactions. I investigate unreconciled balances, duplicates, incorrect opening balances, clearing-account issues, misclassified loans, payroll liabilities and unusual balance-sheet activity. I correct the underlying problems and deliver organized, CPA-ready financials.
REPORTING & CASH-FLOW CLARITY
I prepare monthly P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, budget-to-actual, KPI and management reports that help owners understand performance and make informed decisions. My experience includes forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, working-capital monitoring and multi-entity reporting.
REAL ESTATE & PROPERTY ACCOUNTING
I support investors, rental owners, property managers, STR operators and multi-property groups with:
• HUD-1, Closing Disclosure and settlement-statement recording
• Property purchases, sales, loans, escrow and closing costs
• HOA statements, dues and special assessments
• Rental income, security deposits and property expenses
• Mortgage principal, interest and escrow allocations
• Property-level P&L and owner reporting
• Trust, operating and rent-clearing reconciliations
• Capital improvements versus repairs
• Owner contributions, distributions and intercompany balances
SAAS & ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING
For a Canadian SaaS company, I identified qualifying internal software-development costs that had been overlooked and helped organize the accounting so they could be recorded as an internally developed intangible asset. My SaaS experience also includes deferred revenue, prepayments, Stripe clearing, GST and QST, monthly reporting, cash burn and runway analysis.
E-COMMERCE & MULTI-CHANNEL RECONCILIATION
I have supported high-volume e-commerce businesses processing thousands of monthly transactions across Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Walmart and TikTok Shop. I reconcile sales, payouts, fees, refunds, chargebacks, marketplace taxes, inventory, COGS, payment processors, clearing accounts and foreign-currency differences.
AI-ASSISTED ACCOUNTING & AUTOMATION
I support practical AI-assisted and rule-based workflows for document capture, transaction review, reconciliation exception checks, invoice preparation, variance analysis and management-report commentary. Every output remains subject to human review before posting or delivery. I also improve workflows across QBO and Xero, BILL, Dext, Hubdoc, Expensify, Stripe and A2X—reducing manual work while maintaining approval controls and audit trails.

Are your QuickBooks Online or Xero books messy, behind, unreconciled, or difficult to understand?
I help small businesses and SMEs clean up messy books, catch up overdue records, reconcile bank accounts, and maintain accurate QuickBooks Online and Xero financial records through reliable monthly bookkeeping and financial reporting across the USA, UK, Australia, and Canada.
Recent project: cleaned up 4 years of QuickBooks Online records for a UK business (£2M+ annual revenue), reconciling 6,000+ transactions and rebuilding accurate financial statements from the ground up - the kind of overdue, high-volume cleanup most bookkeepers turn away.
With 15+ years of accounting experience as a CPA, ACA, and ACCA qualified accountant, I bring professional judgment to every engagement, not just data entry - catching miscategorized transactions, unsupported balances, and reporting errors before they become a problem at tax time or audit.
