Bookkeeping Doesn't Have To Be A Burden

I know you didn’t start your business to spend hours wrestling with bookkeeping. (That was me—I’m the numbers person!) You’re here to serve your clients, grow your impact, and do what you love. But staying on top of your finances? That’s where things get tricky.

If you’re just starting out, you want to make sure you’re setting things up the right way—so you don’t have to fix costly mistakes later. As your business grows, you need a system that keeps up with you—one that gives you back time, keeps things organized, and helps you make smarter financial decisions.

You want to:
✔ Know exactly what’s coming in and going out—without second-guessing yourself.
✔ Set prices and revenue goals with confidence, backed by real numbers.
✔ Go into tax season prepared, not panicked.

That’s where I come in.

As a small business owner myself, I understand how overwhelming bookkeeping can feel. My job is to take the stress out of managing your numbers—so you can focus on what you do best. Whether you need an easy-to-follow DIY system or expert support, I’m here to help you build a bookkeeping process that works for you.

No more tedious, repetitive tasks. No more guesswork. Just clarity, confidence, and control over your finances.

Let’s make bookkeeping simple.

Meet Ashlee - Your Trusted Bookkeeping Partner

You started your business to help people, create impact, and do what you love—not to spend hours stressing over numbers. That’s where I come in.

I’m Ashlee, a CPA and bookkeeping expert who helps service providers take control of their finances with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re just starting out or growing fast, I make bookkeeping simple, stress-free, and easy to understand—so you can focus on what truly matters in your business. Think of me as your financial partner, not just a bookkeeper. I’m here to help you build a thriving, profitable business with confidence!

With over 20 years of accounting experience, I know what it takes to set up strong financial foundations, ensure accuracy, and keep you tax-ready year-round. My goal? To take the overwhelm out of bookkeeping and give you the financial insights you need to price confidently, plan strategically, and grow profitably.

As a business owner and mom, I understand how much you juggle daily. That’s why I love helping fellow women entrepreneurs gain clarity in their finances—so they can grow their businesses while creating the life they want.  

When I’m not helping business owners simplify their numbers, I’m spending time with my two kids, Natalee and Owen, staying active in my church, volunteering at my kids’ school, or cheering on the Auburn Tigers (War Eagle!).

Let’s take bookkeeping off your plate—so you can get back to running your business with peace of mind and confidence.

What My Clients Say

I am so glad I found Ashlee! As a new business owner who never studied finance, it's been tough to get up-to-speed with the financial aspects of running a business. Ashlee answered all my questions about Quickbooks and basic bookkeeping. After just an hour, I felt much more confident. I had such a great experience in this initial session that I've chosen to keep working with Ashlee for monthly bookkeeping and end-of-year financial reporting help. She is thorough, knowledgeable, reliable, patient, and kind. I highly recommend her!
