I just love bringing order to the chaos. My favorite part of bookkeeping isn’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. There’s something deeply satisfying about that “ah-ha” moment when they see what was hiding in their books.

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. I’m now in full business-owner mode, proud to support fellow entrepreneurs with clean books, stress-free payroll, and confidence in their financial data.
