My path into bookkeeping wasn’t a straight line. I grew up working in restaurants and retail, moved into IT operations management, and eventually became a business owner myself. Every role showed me the same thing from a different angle. When the financial side of a business is unclear, everything else feels heavier.

I’ve seen how easy it is for business owners to fall into survival mode with their numbers. Things get tracked inconsistently, QuickBooks gets avoided, and questions pile up until tax time feels overwhelming. Not because they’re doing anything wrong, but because they’re trying to do it alone.

That’s where I come in.

Stout Bookkeeping exists to bring calm and clarity to business finances. I help service based business owners clean up the mess, stay compliant, and actually understand what their numbers mean so they can stop stressing about their books and get back to running the business they love. My work goes beyond transactions and reconciliations. It’s about creating financial systems you can trust and reports that support real decision making and sustainable growth.

I work best with business owners who want a true partner. Someone who protects the integrity of their books, keeps things up to date year round, and makes sure their financials are ready when tax time comes around. No masking transactions. No shortcuts. Just honest, accurate books that reflect what’s really happening in the business.

With me on your side, you’re not left guessing. You gain visibility, consistency, and peace of mind knowing the financial side of your business is handled with care.

If you’re ready for that kind of support, grab a spot on my calendar and let’s make this easier.
