Profile
I’ve been working in bookkeeping and accounting for over 15 years. I obtained my CPA, CGA while working and raising a family. I have always worked in small business, so in my accounting practice, I choose to focus on empowering small businesses with the knowledge they need to not only keep track of their numbers, but to understand them.
In helping small businesses to set up their accounting systems, I’ve been so inspired by the passion they have for their products and services, their commitment to being the best and, their dedication to their craft.
I believe in empowering entrepreneurs as much as possible to make great business decisions.
Every entrepreneur should be able to look at their numbers and see where their strengths and opportunities are. They should feel confident in their own knowledge of their business. You can take charge of the financial health of your business. Whether you require monthly bookkeeping, quarterly analysis, or you just want to know how to keep your books properly, I can help.

What People Are Saying
“I am so grateful to have found Dawn! I was a bookkeeping mess when I met her. I had no idea what I was doing, not organized, nor set up to understand how to use my bookkeeping to see how to grow and nurture my business. She turned me around. Took me step by step and has been empowering me to feel confident in this area. She is there for me for all the questions and continues to support what I need. Her services are amazing. I highly recommend her!”

"Dawn has been so great to work with. Besides setting me up with Quickbooks and keeping me organized every month, and answering all of my many questions, she has helped us to navigate all of the confusing government COVID programs, which I would definitely have not been able to figure out without her!"

“Dawn has helped me automate my business from the ground up! I was knee deep in Google spreadsheets and being bogged down by the financial side of the business. Dawn has helped me automate, organize and strategize on how to financially scale my business effectively. She has not only set me up on QuickBooks but she is also teaching me how to effectively use this new software for my business. I am so grateful for her expertise and truly enjoy working with her.”
