Who am I?

After many years of teaching college ESL and Composition, a friend asked me if I would help him organize his books. At the time, all I had to offer was my fierce attention to detail, my love of organization, my detective's eye, and my ability to communicate. Now, many years later, I bring these natural skills -plus professional training, knowledge, and extensive experience- to my work as a bookkeeper, payroll administrator, and small business helper. 

Call me crazy, but I genuinely love bookkeeping! It suits my character, utilizes my strengths, offers me a practical way in which to help people, and allows me the flexible lifestyle I enjoy. My clients are all so different from one another, both as individuals and as businesses, and this is another aspect of my job that I love!

I am truly passionate about helping entrepreneurial individuals to set up, clean up, and manage the back-end of their businesses. To me, participating in and facilitating the professional independence of those in my community is an honor

I take seriously and feel grateful for every day of my life. 

If my story resonates with you, please feel free to contact me using the form below, or to give me a call at (415)-846-6840. I look forward to learning about your unique needs and seeing if I can be the one to help you move forward!
