We love helping
Solopreneurs
You became a business owner because you loved what you do, not how to record what you do. We can help you get back to doing what you love!
Independent Contractors
Receipts not the type of paperwork you want to focus on? No problem, we can take care of that for you.
Small Business
Small enough to not have an accountant on your payroll? We can fill that void for you, and within your budget.
What does a bookkeeper do?
The main function of a bookkeeper is to make sure all of the expenses, income, and all transactions are recorded in the companies financial system. Bookkeepers also reconcile the financial accounts on a monthly basis. We also can help you understand the financial statements, reports, and how they interact with each other.
Bookkeepers will take care of your Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and make recommendations. It is not uncommon for a bookkeeper to be up on the technology / apps that drive your finances. So If you are having an issue, your bookkeeper is a resource to help solve all problems.
Why you should hire a bookkeeper.
It is not what you do best
Unless your business is bookkeeping, you probably are not an expert at it. Businesses that succeed focus on what they are best at, i.e. product or services.
Business Planning
You can only plan for your business’s future if you know your numbers. Your financial statements will help you make decisions for your future.
Keep track of what you owe and who owes you
Bookkeepers love to maintain your accounts payable and accounts receivable.
Having a clear picture
The overall financial condition of your company gives you the overall picture. As a business owner you tend to be focused, and that can sometimes lead to loosing sight of your companies overall condition.
You are a real person, helping real people. Why should you bookkeeper be any different? We are real people dedicated to helping you and your business.
Unlike most bookkeeping services, we have a dedicated person for your business. No more getting a different person every time you call. With us, you will be able to speak with the same person every time.
That means you will have someone working for your business who knows your business, it’s history, and that means we can serve you better.
Financial Analysis is something that is mysterious to most people.
We really enjoy helping you understand you financial statements, how they interact with each other, and how you can use them to make decisions. It can be tricky to look at a Profit & Loss Statement to see where you may be hemorrhaging money.
Knowing your numbers is the best way to plan for the future.

About Us
Our story starts with our own businesses as sole proprietors. It was so exciting to start a business doing what we love to do. Being an expert in that field was crucial to being a success. We needed to show your customers that we were the best at what we did. We quickly learned that the demands on our time was never ending. The largest demand on our time was networking and marketing. (you can’t have sales if you don’t have customers) With so many demands on our time, we realized some important things were put on the back burner. Bookkeeping was one of the easiest things to neglect. At the end of the year, we were always regretting that decision. We have always wanted to help people, and this gave us an epiphany. We could use our skills with understanding business, bookkeeping, and our desire to help people by wrapping what we can do in a bookkeeping package. Let us help you work on the back-burner items so you won’t regret putting them there.
It is rewarding for me to help people. I love using my MBA, over 20 years business experience, and 10 years bookkeeping experience to your benefit.
