Running a small business is no small feat. As a fellow entrepreneur, I understand the challenges and triumphs that come with the territory. That's why I'm here to offer more than just bookkeeping services—I'm here to be your partner in success.

My Values

  • Reliability & Strong Communication: I've had a strong work ethic since my first job at age 14. I know that it's hard to get things done without good communication. I am timely in my work and my responses, open to ideas and learning, and I will be honest with your finances.

  • Non-Judgmental Support: I believe in creating a safe space where you can discuss your financial concerns without fear of judgment. Your success is my priority, no matter the circumstances.

  • Relatability & Empathy: I'm human, too. I've owned small businesses and have been in your shoes. I understand how overwhelming business finances can be, and how easy it is to put them on the back-burner. It's ok to ask for help!

  • Passionate About Your Success: I'm not just passionate about numbers; I'm passionate about your success. I'll work tirelessly to help you understand your finances and make informed decisions for your business's future.

  • Freedom & Lifestyle: I've avoided 9-5 jobs my entire life. We all want to work less and play more. Just like you, I've created a business that suits my lifestyle. I can help you create growth in
    your business and freedom in your life.

Meet Your Bookkeeper

Melissa 1 - flipped - compressed.jpg

Hi, I'm Melissa!

I am a lover of the outdoors, and work-life balance is vitally important to me. 

With a love for numbers and problem-solving, I’ve always embraced my nerdy side—I even took Calculus II as an elective in high school!

With experience in QuickBooks Online and Xero, I provide seamless bookkeeping services that give you full confidence and control over your business's financial health.

 

As a trained and certified virtual bookkeeper, I specialize in helping business owners like you understand and manage your finances, creating growth in your business and freedom in your life.

path7672.png

I bring a unique and personal perspective to bookkeeping. My husband and I ran our own guide service for 10 years, and as we grew, managing our books quickly became my favorite task. I’ve seen firsthand how important it is for a business to treat its books with care and attention to detail, but I also understand how many people mistakenly put this task on the back burner.

 

As someone who has had to endure the challenges (and joys) of running a small business, I understand the unique needs of solopreneurs. 

 

I love solving problems, and bookkeeping comes naturally to me. I’ve honed my skills by enrolling in special training programs. Now, I’m excited to help business owners take a huge load of stress off their shoulders so they can spend more time doing what they do best—running their business.

 

I’m open and excited to serve clients from all sorts of industries, but I especially look forward to working with small and medium-sized businesses. I have a background in the service industry, specifically tour operations, so if your business falls around that realm, we just might be a perfect match.

Get to know me:

I’m from Moab, UT, and in my free time, I enjoy biking, climbing, hiking, and being outside with my husband, friends, family and dogs. I look forward to getting to know you and your business!

Qualifications:

6 Years of bookkeeping in the tourism industry
Xero Certified
QBO Certified
60-Day Bookkeeper training program
Certified Virtual Bookkeeper
