Bookkeeping that Brings Clarity

Bookkeeping Services for Creatives, Trades, and Small Business Owners

I’m a bookkeeper who works best at the intersection of creativity and practicality, because that’s exactly how I’m wired. I come from a family where art and hard work lived side-by-side — my mom is a professional sculptor and painter, and my dad was a carpenter, long-haul driver, and rancher. I grew up surrounded by people who built things with their hands, solved problems on the fly, and didn’t have time for complicated systems. That mix shaped me.


I’m creative enough to understand how makers, artists, and designers think — and practical enough to keep the books steady for tradespeople, contractors, and small business owners. I know that numbers can feel intimidating, especially when no one has ever explained them in a way that makes sense. My job is to change that!

At Beachfire Books, I keep your bookkeeping clean, compliant, and consistent. No jargon. No condescension. No overwhelm. Just clear communication and simple systems that fit real-life businesses — not textbook-perfect scenarios. I believe good bookkeeping shouldn’t feel scary or inaccessible. It should feel steady, supportive, and doable.

I work with creatives, trades, and small business owners who want someone who speaks their language: straightforward, honest, and genuinely invested. Whether you’re behind on your books, growing your business, or just tired of trying to make sense of it all, I’m here to help you stay organized, confident, and in control.

If you want numbers you can trust — and a bookkeeper who understands how creativity works — let's get started!

About Me
Services and Pricing

SERVICES AND PRICING

"Sounds good, but what is this going to cost?"

 

Fair. But not so straight forward. As you already know with your own business, service pricing isn't always so cookie-cutter. Its like building a house - choose best layout and then we'll add the custom finishing touches.

 

The two packages below will give you an idea of where we start. Then we talk it over and customize for what your business needs now and how we support your growth.

FOUNDATIONS   $275/month

Essential bookkeeping, handled with clarity.
​​Perfect for solo business owners or anyone just getting started. Foundations keeps your books up to date, reconciled, and ready for year-end — without anything extra you don’t need yet.

GET CAUGHT UP  Custom Pricing

Behind on your books? Let’s fix that and then get you on a monthly service package. Falling behind happens. “Doing the books” can suck the fun - and the hours - out of your days when you would rather be working on your new piece or quoting that new project.

 

With you available for questions, “Get Caught Up” is a one-time cleanup service designed to bring your books back to a clean, accurate, ready-to-run state so we can move forward together on a monthly service package.

 

​Perfect for you if:

  • you’re months (or years) behind

  • year-end is approaching and things feel overwhelming

  • your books don’t match what actually happened

  • you’re ready for clean books and a clean slate

Pricing is based on volume and complexity. You’ll get a clear quote before any work begins. When your books are caught up, everything else becomes easier — GST/PST filings, payroll, reporting, even day-to-day decisions. Let’s get you back on track!
