Why Bookkeeping
Before I became a bookkeeper, I had a career in the business world, most of it in some form of Information Technology. This gave me a understanding of how businesses really operate. I worked closely with teams across departments and saw how everything—systems, people, and processes—had to align to keep the business running. I also saw the challenges small business owners and service professionals face every day: keeping up with bills, staying ahead of taxes, managing cash flow, and figuring out where their money is really going.
Later in my career, I became a real estate investor, but also became a bookkeeper out of necessity. As my ventures grew, I had to figure out how to manage the books for multiple businesses: a property management company, a real estate investment business with multiple LLC’s, and an IT services contracting company. I quickly learned that clean, accurate books weren’t just “good to have”—they were the foundation for making better decisions and building success.
When I started using QuickBooks Online, I realized something: while it worked great for service professionals, it wasn’t naturally intuitive or even designed for real estate investors. I spent hours (okay, months) experimenting, training, and customizing it to track exactly what I needed as a property owner, manager, and investor. From tracking profitability to simplifying complex reporting, I learned how to make QuickBooks Online work for me—not the other way around.
That’s when I realized that I wasn’t the only one with this problem. Real estate investors needed a bookkeeper who truly understood their challenges—because I’d been there myself.
Now, I bring all of that experience together:
- The entrepreneurial mindset of a business owner
- The technical know-how of an IT professional
- The financial clarity of a seasoned bookkeeper
