I wear two hats, lifelong business owner and professional bookkeeper. For twenty seven years I ran a log home sales and construction company, and I personally handled every invoice, payroll, and bank reconciliation. I know what it feels like when cash flow, crews, and clients all need you at once. My time in the U.S. Army, serving under a Top Secret clearance, taught me disciplined procedures and respect for confidential information.
Today I bring that same focus to each client's books. As a QuickBooks Online Certified ProAdvisor, I set up and maintain systems that are clean, accurate, and ready for real decisions, not just tax season.
I enjoy taking numbers that feel confusing and turning them into clear, calm direction. My goal is simple, protect your information, keep your records organized, and give you confidence in every financial choice.
