I started Books in a Row Bookkeeping Co. after more than 15 years working in accounting and finance. I've spent most of my career working with the details — reconciling accounts, reviewing transactions, finding things that don't look right, and making sure the numbers actually make sense.
Now I use that experience to help small business owners keep their books organized and understand where their business stands financially.
I know bookkeeping is one of those things that can easily get pushed to the bottom of the list when you're busy actually running your business. My goal is to take that piece off your plate and give you accurate, organized books without making the process complicated.
I offer ongoing monthly bookkeeping, bookkeeping clean-up and catch-up, QuickBooks Online support, and Excel and financial reporting. I don't provide tax preparation, but I can help make sure your books are organized and ready when it's time to hand them over to your tax professional.
I'm also a mom of three and understand how quickly life and business can get busy. I built Books in a Row to do work I genuinely enjoy while helping other small business owners spend less time worrying about their books and more time focusing on their business.
Clean books. Clear numbers. Less stress.
What you can count on
Reconciled accounts and organized transactions, kept current every month.
Reports that actually tell you where your business stands.
Reliable bookkeeping without adding more to your plate.
How I can help
Straightforward bookkeeping focused on keeping your books accurate, organized, and useful.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Ongoing transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, and monthly financial statements — so you always know exactly where your business stands.
Bookkeeping Cleanup & Catch-Up
Behind on your books? I'll get past months reconciled, categorized, and organized so you're fully caught up and ready to move forward with confidence.
QuickBooks Online Setup
A clean, correctly structured QuickBooks file from day one — chart of accounts, bank connections, and categories set up the right way, the first time.
Custom Excel Spreadsheets & Reports
Trackers, dashboards, and reports built around how you actually run your business, so you can see the numbers that matter most — no extra software required.
Real Estate & Property Management
Alongside general small business bookkeeping, I have a particular focus on real estate agents, investors, and small property management businesses.
Rental income, per-property expenses, and owner payouts need to be tracked clearly and separately — not lumped into one general ledger. I set books up specifically to make that easy to follow, whether you're managing a handful of rentals or a growing portfolio.
If you're a real estate agent or investor rather than a property manager, the same organized, per-property approach applies just as well to commissions, flips, and rental income.
- Per-Property TrackingIncome and expenses organized by property, so you can see how each one is performing.
- Rent & Owner Payment TrackingClear records of rent collected and payouts made to owners.
- Contractor & Vendor RecordsOrganized books for repairs, maintenance, and vendor payments, including 1099 tracking.
- Monthly Reporting by PropertyReports built to show performance property-by-property, not just as one combined total.
