The girl behind the boutique
My grandma used to say “numbers were in my blood.” I come from a family bewitched by numbers. My grandpa was a CPA & company controller, my grandma worked in accounts payable at Sears Roebuck & Co., and my Uncle started off as a company controller which eventually led to him becoming the President & CEO. Needless to say, my grandma was over the moon when she learned I became a bookkeeper. What initially started off as a part-time job has led to twenty years of friendships and thriving businesses.
What makes me unique
Bookkeeping and finances do not have to be a nightmare…they can actually be, dare I say it, fun.
My degree is in Creative Writing, but don’t let that worry you, remember numbers are in my blood. I was fortunate to be taught by the very best in the industry which provided me the opportunity to work with a variety of clients ranging from doctors to fashion designers to contractors and even a pizza franchise.
Now the good stuff
I am a southern California girl turned South Dakotan homesteader. When I am not helping clients, I can be found in the garden, swinging in my hammock, or hanging out with my kids. If I can steal a moment to myself, you can find me cuddled up with a book, scribbling in my journal, bent over my sewing machine, or mesmerized by a puzzle.

I recommend bookkeeping to be completed on a monthly basis to maintain an accurate snapshot of your business. However, you need to do what’s best for you and business. Therefore, if you prefer, it can be done on a quarterly or yearly basis as well.
The short answer, no.
There are a couple options for maintaining your books without making such a large investment. One being an online subscription to a bookkeeping program such as Quickbooks online or Xero. Another option is I can maintain the books on my Quickbooks desktop program and prepare monthly financials for you.
I charge a flat rate monthly fee based on upon the services desired. If additional services are added, the rate will increase to reflect this. Other than than that, your monthly rate will stay the same.
Yes, of course.
