Meet Your Virtual Bookkeeper

CPA Led Bookkeeping Services near me

In 2024, I made the scariest — and most freeing — decision of my life: I left my 9–5 job and started my own virtual bookkeeping and taxation practice. On paper, it might look like a career pivot. But in truth, it was something much deeper: a return to myself.

For years, I worked in corporate accounting roles that were supposed to be “good jobs.” They offered stability, structure, and a clear path forward. But with every passing year, I felt more disconnected from the work and from myself. The days were full, but never fulfilling. I was constantly chasing deadlines, approvals, and expectations — and always felt like I was falling short, no matter how hard I worked.

Eventually, the burnout caught up with me. I realized I wasn’t just tired — I was stuck. And I knew something had to change.

I Didn’t Want to Quit — I Wanted to Rebuild

It wasn’t that I had fallen out of love with bookkeeping or taxation. In fact, I’ve always found comfort in numbers — in the logic, the structure, and the quiet problem-solving. I love the way well-kept books can tell the story of a business. I love how the right financial insight can give someone the courage to grow.

What I needed wasn’t a new career. I needed a new relationship with my work.

I wanted freedom — to work in a way that aligned with my values. I wanted flexibility — to show up for my family and for myself without guilt. And most of all, I wanted to make a real difference — not by hitting targets on someone else’s spreadsheet, but by helping real people make sense of their businesses and their lives.

That’s when my practice was born — not out of ambition, but out of intention.

Building This Business from the Ground Up

Starting from scratch was intimidating. I didn’t have a roadmap — just a vision and a willingness to figure things out, one honest step at a time.

I didn’t want this to be just another bookkeeping service. I wanted it to feel human — approachable, trustwoI didn’t want this to be just another bookkeeping service. I wanted it to feel human — approachable, trustworthy, and real.

I wanted to become your virtual bookkeeper — someone who brings not just clarity and structure, but real understanding and support.rthy, and real. I wanted to create a space where entrepreneurs could talk about money without shame, confusion, or fear.

What surprised me most was how many people were looking for that kind of support. Not just spreadsheets and reports — but reassurance, clarity, and someone who actually cared.

Why This Work Feels So Personal

Every client I work with reminds me why I started this journey.

Some are in the early stages of building something brave. Some are overwhelmed and trying to keep up. Some are recovering from bad advice or chaotic systems. And many, like I once was, are doing the best they can with too little support.

I see myself in all of them — and that’s what makes this work feel personal.

I’ve learned that good bookkeeping isn’t just about accuracy — it’s about peace of mind. It’s about helping people make better decisions, avoid painful mistakes, and feel like they’re finally in control. When a client tells me they slept better after we organized their finances — that’s what success looks like to me.

The Values Behind My Business

This practice is built on three simple beliefs:

  • Clarity over confusion: You deserve to understand your numbers, not just receive them.

  • Partnership over transaction: I’m not here to just “do the books.” I’m here to walk alongside you.

  • People over perfection: I believe in progress, honesty, and meeting you where you are.

These aren’t marketing lines — they’re how I work, and how I live.

Who I Am Outside the Numbers

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me enjoying life’s quiet moments — a good book, a walk outside, strong coffee, or conversations that go deeper than small talk. I’m a curious person by nature, always learning, always simplifying, and always asking how things can be done with more ease and more meaning.

This business lets me show up fully — not just as a CPA, but as a whole person. And that’s something I’ll never take for granted.

You don’t have to do it alone.

If you're ready to feel more clear, more confident, and more supported in your business — I’d be honoured to be part of that journey.

Let’s talk about what it might look like to work together. Whether you’re just starting or already established, I’m here as your virtual bookkeeper, helping you move forward with clarity.
