ABOUT
What is bookkeeping?
The dictionary defines bookkeeping as “the occupation of keeping records of the financial affairs of a business”. Most people think of bookkeeping as that dreaded activity that has to get done at some point so staff gets paid and taxes get filed. I think of bookkeeping as the organization required so you can enjoy as much financial freedom as possible. Yes, it includes lots of numbers and paperwork, but it’s also an adventure. Good bookkeeping is the foundation of a good business and it’s my goal to support you as you grow the business of your dreams.
​
Why Adventures In Bookkeeping?
Are you feeling overwhelmed thinking about your bookkeeping?
Neurodivergent and finding it difficult to find a bookkeeper willing to work with your brain rather than against it?
A creative spirit who dreads the uncompromising columns of numbers?
I can help!
Adventures in Bookkeeping started when I realized there was no one offering financial
services geared towards neurodivergent people, like me!
My goal is to help the people who often feel left behind by Society understand their
books and grow towards financial freedom.

Let's adventure together!
