All About Me
Some say I was raised in the world of accounting. My first job, at the age of 16, was working for my father at his CPA firm. I was taught to think like an accountant. In time, I understood the importance of keeping thorough records and how it can not only save you time but how it can translate into saving you money.
​
Working with my father inspired me to study accounting in college. After college, I worked in a variety of settings, including the restaurant / hospitality industry and in the medical field. While working in the accounting department of a restaurant management company, I assisted the owner as the company grew from three to thirteen locations. Later, I worked for over four years as a credit manager of a five diamond hotel.
​
Although I enjoyed these experiences, I have always wanted my own business so I started Ocean Cities Bookkeeping. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had and to the people I have worked with along the way. It taught me that your goals are achievable with proper planning and preparedness. I also discovered that I love QuickBooks. Most importantly, though, I learned the value of your work comes from the quality of service that you provide your clients.
Together, we can pick up the pebbles and straighten them out

Let me dive in while you relax​
Bookkeeping​
If you don’t currently have someone attending to your accounting needs or if your business is outgrowing its current system, I can provide bookkeeping services to help you monitor your business. Good records give you an accurate look at how your company is doing financially and can show you what aspects of your business are profitable. I can also work remotely to save travel time and work space in your office that can be used for your other business needs.

Financial Statement Analysis​
I can work with your accountant or assist you in finding one so that you feel more at ease at tax time. Your accountant and I can work together to ensure that your year-end journal entries are accurately recorded in QuickBooks. This includes maintaining your fixed assets, accumulated depreciation and recording proper principal and interest on loan balances. Tracking these accurately, along with entering your monthly income and expenses, will provide you with detailed financial statements. Accurate financial statements will identify the sources of income for your business and track the deductible expenses that will support the items reported on your tax return.
With me, it will be a breeze to set up your QuickBooks
