Working with small businesses remotely across the U.S.
I bring more than five years of professional accounting experience, including investment-fund accounting, reconciliations and financial reporting. That work has taught me to compare records carefully, investigate differences and explain what the numbers do and do not show.
Gold Standard Bookkeeping is my independent bookkeeping practice. My focus is monthly bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online and separately scoped catch-up and cleanup work. You work directly with me to agree on the work, responsibilities and price before starting. Questions that need your input are identified rather than resolved through unsupported assumptions.
