Beyond the Balance Sheet

With a BS in Business Administration and a decade of professional experience—currently serving as a CAAS bookkeeper at Hutchinson & Bloodgood LLP—I blend high-level firm expertise with the hands-on understanding of what it takes to run a small business. When I'm not diving into spreadsheets or nerding out over personal finance strategies, I'm likely busy being a mama or crafting at my workbench. I'm also the founder of Simple Life Candles, where I apply the same ‘keep it simple’ philosophy I use in bookkeeping to the art of candlemaking.
