Running a business is a lot — your bookkeeping doesn’t have to be

There’s a lot that goes into running a business — managing clients, keeping up with admin, planning ahead — and somewhere in the middle of it all, the bookkeeping falls behind. Suddenly your reports don’t make sense, your numbers feel unclear, and tax season creeps up with more dread than ease. That’s where I come in. I help small business owners turn their financial chaos into clarity by creating organized, easy-to-understand systems. No more guessing. No more doing it all yourself. I’m here to help you take a deep breath, simplify your books, and finally feel like you’re on top of it.

WORK WITH ME

The bookkeeper behind designed ledgers

Hi, I'm Jessica

I help small business owners get clarity and confidence in their numbers by turning messy financials into clean, accurate books. My approach is simple, supportive, and judgment-free — because I know firsthand what it’s like to wear all the hats and still feel unsure if you’re “doing it right.”

I’ve always loved bringing order to chaos (color-coded anything? Yes, please), but what lights me up most is watching someone shift from stressed and scattered to calm and confident. That moment when a client sees their financials clearly for the first time? That’s what I’m here for. Because you deserve more than just reports — you deserve to actually

understand your numbers and use them to build something meaningful.

Whether you’re months behind or just tired of second-guessing your system, I’m here to help make the financial side of your business feel lighter, clearer, and more doable.

A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME

FUN FACTS

I’m all about cozy routines, clear systems, and helping people feel a little more at ease in their business. Here are a few things that make me, me.

I turn on a lamp before I work
There’s something about soft lighting that helps me shift into focus mode. It’s a small habit, but it makes my space feel calm and intentional — and that energy carries into the work I do. I believe your environment matters, especially when you're deep in details like reconciliations and reporting. When I sit down to work on a client’s books, it’s not just about getting it done — it’s about doing it well, with care.

I’m deeply organized — but not rigid
I love a color-coded system and a clean Google Sheet, but I’m also realistic. Not everyone wants (or needs) a perfect process — they just need one that works. My job is to meet you where you are, understand how you operate, and create a bookkeeping system that feels easy to maintain. I believe in progress over perfection, always.

I genuinely care about your business
Your wins matter to me — whether that’s hitting a revenue goal, hiring your first team member, or simply feeling more confident when you look at your numbers. I’m not just here to crunch numbers and log off. I’m here to partner with you, support your growth, and celebrate what you’re building.
