Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I hope you will find this to be a useful resource for your QuickBooks and general accounting problems.

Many people have asked me how I came up with the name “My Shoebox Bookkeeper” for my company. It’s simple, really: how many small business owners do you know who are wildly successful at what they do, but can’t seem to balance a checkbook? How many of them have a shoebox filled with receipts but no idea how much money is in the bank? That is where My Shoebox Bookkeeper comes in. My goal is to free you from the stress of the shoebox. You give me that messy pile of the bank and credit card statements, receipts, and check stubs, and I return to you a binder organized by month, including a complete set of financial statements for your business. I also provide a copy of a QuickBooks file for your company, which you can use to generate your own reports or to pass along to a CPA for tax preparation. It’s that simple. One call to My Shoebox Bookkeeper can free you from the shoebox forever!

I have met many business owners who are excellent at what they do – doctors, attorneys, marketing professionals, artists – but who simply do not have the time or desire to keep up with the shoebox of receipts. Either the business suffers because bookkeeping takes time away from the mission of their company, or they simply ignore the bookkeeping altogether. Too many times I’ve seen business owners who are wasting precious dollars on late fees, overdraft fees, and bank errors because their bookkeeping is not being done on a regular basis. The look of relief on their faces when they realize they can afford to have someone else take over their accounting nightmare is gratifying.

I am a Certified Bookkeeper through the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers, as well as a Certified Intuit QuickBooks ProAdvisor. In addition to general bookkeeping services, I provide QuickBooks installation, setup, and training. I am also a Notary Public for the state of North Carolina, and existing clients never pay a fee for notary services. In early 2012 I plan to begin offering payroll preparation services.

No job is too small! I cater to small businesses and not-for-profit organizations and my hourly rates reflect that commitment. (501c3 not-for-profit organizations receive a 25% discount off my normal fees.)
