Accounting that keeps your organization moving
I provide accounting and bookkeeping for nonprofits, Tribal organizations and governments, and service businesses across Washington, Oregon and Alaska. Whether you need steady monthly bookkeeping, organized financial information for your board and funders, or an experienced accountant to work alongside your team, I shape the work around how your organization actually runs.
Fund accounting for nonprofit organizations
Nonprofits answer to boards, funders and their communities. I keep your books organized and prepare the financial information you need for reporting and decisions.
My experience includes a Tribal foundation, a dance school, a fine arts school, a Montessori preschool, a youth theatre, behavioral health and peer support organizations, transitional housing, an animal shelter association, legal and social services, and a senior center.

What my work covers
My work is bookkeeping, financial reporting and accounting support. I review your general ledger for accuracy and consistency with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and I prepare year-end financial statements ready for your CPA or tax preparer. I’m glad to work alongside them: your CPA handles audits and compilations, and your tax preparer uses my statements to prepare your income tax return or Form 990.
