I help small business owners get their bookkeeping and payroll accurate, predictable, and under control so they can stop stressing about the numbers and focus on running the business. I bring 15+ years of hands-on experience in bookkeeping, payroll processing, HR support, and operational cleanup. My work is practical, detail-driven, and designed to reduce errors, save time, and create systems that actually stick. What clients typically gain when working with me: • Saved 5–10 hours per month by handing off bookkeeping, reconciliations, and payroll • Reduced monthly bookkeeping workload by 60–75% after cleanup and workflow standardization • Cut payroll processing time from several hours to under 1–2 hours per run through proper setup and automation • Prevented payroll errors and overpayments totaling hundreds to thousands of dollars annually • Helped clients avoid $2,000–$5,000 per year in penalties and corrections related to payroll and compliance • Delivered clean, reconciled books within 30–60 days for accounts that were behind or inconsistent Clients often tell me they finally feel confident in their numbers and relieved to know payroll and bookkeeping are handled correctly and on time. Services I provide: • Monthly bookkeeping and reconciliations • QuickBooks Online setup, cleanup, and optimization • Payroll processing and payroll system setup • Payroll journals and reporting • Basic HR and compliance support • Workflow and process improvement for small teams I’m a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and have supported service-based businesses, nonprofits, retail, manufacturing, and multi-state payroll teams. I’m known for being steady, responsive, and thorough. No drama. No surprises. If you’re looking for someone who treats your back office like it matters, we’ll work well together.
