MY STORY
Meet the Heart Behind Guiding Light
With more than 20 years of bookkeeping and business operations experience, I know that accurate, organized financial records are about more than numbers—they give business owners the clarity and confidence to make informed decisions.
​
I created Guiding Light Bookkeeping Solutions to help small-business owners bring order to their books through personalized bookkeeping, cleanup, and QuickBooks support. My approach combines attention to detail and analytical thinking with patience, kindness, and judgment-free guidance. I believe every business owner deserves to feel supported, respected, and confident in their finances.
​
My goal is simple: to bring a little more clarity to your business, a little more peace of mind to your day, and more room for what matters most.
BEYOND THE BOOKS
Life Beyond the Books
Outside of bookkeeping, I'm a mom to a grown son, dog mom to Winnie, enjoy reading, cooking, making my home a peaceful cottage retreat, and appreciate the little things that make life meaningful.
​
My Christian faith shapes how I approach life and business—with integrity, compassion, and a desire to help others. I believe kindness matters, there's often something good to be found in everyday life, and a little encouragement can go a long way.
Â
Winnie keeps life fun, reminds me to slow down, and brings plenty of personality to my days. Around here, there's always room for a little sunshine.
