Stress LESS over your business financials with Bookkeeping by Design

Ask nearly every business owner where the biggest stress points are in their business and they’ll answer the same: keeping their financials organized and up to date!

That’s because most owners go into business to do the work they love… to grow their client base and a thriving team—NOT to manage Quickbooks or spreadsheets.

Yet the information you need to make business decisions are often to be found right in those numbers.

If you’re a business owner that is:

  • eager to spend less day-to-day time on financials (and more on growing your team),

  • scrambling to gather documents to have your tax return prepared or trying to apply for a loan,

  • looking for help to create a process for documenting income and expenses efficiently and effectively,

  • facing (or wanting to avoid) a large tax bill because you didn’t know how profitable you actually are…

I’m here to help design the bookkeeping solution that’s right for you. If you’re ready to get help with your business from someone who cares about your success just as much as you do, you’re in the right place. .

Can we help you?

Bookkeeping by Design serves a wide range of businesses, including service firms in the construction trades, licensed professional service providers, insurance agencies, and others whose time = money.

Hello, I’m Theresa.

As the owner of Bookkeeping by Design and a Quickbooks Pro Advisor, my goal is to help busy business owners—like you!—finally feel in control of their finances.

During my more than 30 years providing bookkeeping services both as a CPA-firm staff accountant and as a bookkeeper, I have seen the challenges small business owners face across many industries. 

Now I’m happy to help work one-on-one with owners to share my experience and knowledge so you can minimize and manage these challenges more effectively. 

Yes, bookkeeping is complicated, and finances can feel overwhelming if you don’t understand taxes and where your money is going, or don’t have time to keep up—but that’s where I come in! 

As your bookkeeper, first I will help you clean up your books, then I will maintain your finances monthly, quarterly or annually, according to your needs and preferences (to see more, tap on the Services page).

That’s bookkeeping designed just for you.

It’s time you enjoyed peace of mind about your finances, and were able to make more informed business decisions. I’ll do the bookkeeping so you can grow your business as large as you can dream it. 

For an ally who is passionate about helping you succeed, look no further. Reach out for a FREE consultation. We’ll discuss your business goals and needs, and make a plan to get you there!

Get in touch.

I’ll help you finally take control of your finances, and gain the peace of mind to confidently run your business and reach your goals.

Discover the relief in having someone who’s got your back (and books!), and begin to achieve the freedom to live the life you dream about!
