About Us

I just love bringing order to the chaos. My favorite part of bookkeeping isnโ€™t the numbers - it is the story behind them. Every set of books tells where a business has been and where it is headed. It brings me joy when I get to help bring clarity to that story and give business owners confidence to make business decisions. Thereโ€™s something deeply satisfying about that โ€œah-haโ€ moment when they see what was hiding in their books.

I help service-based entrepreneurs and small business owners bring order and clarity to their finances, especially those whoโ€™ve outgrown DIY bookkeeping or need help cleaning up messy books.

With 13+ years of bookkeeping and payroll experience, including nearly a decade supporting a CPA, I specialize in transactional accounting that goes beyond data entry. My focus is accuracy, organization, and financial insight you can actually use to run your business, not just survive tax season.

How We Got Started

I began bookkeeping over thirteen years ago as part of my virtual executive assistant business. My work caught the attention of a seasoned CPA and tax accountant, who recruited me to be his lead accounting and payroll assistant. A role I held for over nine years. When he began planning for retirement, I saw the opportunity to take my experience and build something of my own.

In 2024, I launched Balanced Integrity Bookkeeping with the goal of helping small business owners feel confident in their financial records and stay tax-ready year-round. The name "Balanced Integrity" reflects my personal values, honest, transparent, and ethical practices are at the core of everything I do. Iโ€™m now in full business-owner mode, proud to support fellow entrepreneurs with clean books and confidence in their financial data.
