My career began in reception and administrative support while raising my son as a single mother. I learned early the importance of hard work, resourcefulness, and making the most of every opportunity. Over time, I grew into bookkeeping and financial management through hands-on experience, a willingness to learn, and a genuine interest in understanding how businesses work.

 

With more than 20 years of bookkeeping and business operations experience, I've worked across a wide range of industries, including insurance, legal, medical, manufacturing, automotive finance, real estate investment properties, HVAC, nonprofit organizations, and environmental services. My experience includes reconciliations, payroll, financial reporting, office operations, and multi-entity bookkeeping, along with extensive experience in QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online.

 

What I bring to my work is a combination of analytical thinking, attention to detail, organization, and adaptability. I enjoy identifying discrepancies, bringing order to complicated records, and helping business owners understand the information behind their numbers. I also value the relationships that make good work possible: clear communication, reliability, confidentiality, and respect.

 

I founded Guiding Light Bookkeeping Solutions to provide small-business owners with practical, personalized support without judgment. Whether your books need a fresh start, your records need ongoing attention, or you'd like more confidence using QuickBooks, I'll work with you to understand your needs and find a sensible path forward.

 

My goal is to help you feel informed rather than overwhelmed, supported rather than judged, and confident in the financial picture of your business—so you have more room for what matters most.
