It can be a mix of both. Most clients start with a QuickBooks® Online CheckUp.

From there, if your books need cleanup, I'll recommend a Bookkeeping Reset project where I handle the cleanup and get things back on track.

Ongoing, some clients choose Guided Bookkeeping Oversight, in which you manage day-to-day bookkeeping with guidance and support as you build consistent habits.

You don't have to figure that out on your own; we'll decide together. Start with a QuickBooks® Online CheckUp ($325) or Schedule an Intro Call (free). From there, I'll help you decide on the next steps.

I work exclusively with QuickBooks® Online.

I work with a variety of small businesses, both service-based and product-based. Clients have included retail shops, service providers, and professional businesses, ranging from contractors and designers to retailers, agencies, and consultants.

What matters more than the industry is how you're using QuickBooks® Online. I work best with business owners and teams who are managing their own bookkeeping and want guidance, clarity, and a better process...especially when things have gotten a bit messy or when multiple systems are involved.

It depends. Most clients I work with have already been using QuickBooks® Online for a while and have started to run into questions or confusion, often after trying to figure things out on their own.

It depends on the service. The QuickBooks® Online CheckUp is paid in full when you book. For larger projects or ongoing support, payment may be structured over time.

Many capable business owners end up doing their own bookkeeping, even if they never planned to.

You can manage your own bookkeeping in QuickBooks® Online. Most people just need guidance to understand what matters and someone to turn to when things don't look right. That's where I come in. I help you connect the dots and build a process that works for your business, so bookkeeping feels manageable, not overwhelming.

If you'd rather hand everything off completely, I'm happy to refer you to a full-service bookkeeper.
