How I Can Help

More than a bookkeeper.

I get close enough to the books to see what's actually causing the problem, then fix the thing underneath it too.

📒

Get the books under control.

Monthly bookkeeping, cleanup, payroll, A/R, A/P — the stuff that needs to be right before we start fixing the weird shit underneath it.

Figure out why the back office keeps breaking.

Broken handoffs, repetitive admin, janky workarounds, things only one person knows how to do — I find the friction before we start automating the wrong things.

Make the day-to-day stop sucking.

Cleaner workflows, fewer handoffs, less repetitive admin, better reporting, and custom fixes where off-the-shelf tools keep making things harder.

About

I've been cleaning up messes for a very long time.

Ernie — PRNG Bookkeeping Services

At Apple, I got paid to figure out where processes were breaking and how to make them better. Then my husband and I bought an RV park and figured out the magic combination that made it profitable — while learning firsthand what happens when the numbers, the people, and the day-to-day operations all collide in real life.

Now I do the same kind of work from inside bookkeeping.

I get close to the books, see where the friction is actually coming from, and start noticing the stuff underneath: repetitive admin, unclear processes, duct-taped workflows, and all the little things quietly eating time and money.

That's why I'm not just interested in keeping your books clean. I want to know exactly why that hot mess keeps showing up again and again — and exactly what needs to happen to make it stop.

Before I fix anything, I want to know what's actually broken.

A wooden chair with a broken leg, patched with duct tape and software app icons.

You probably don't need more software.

A new app can't fix an unreconcilable account, a weird process nobody understands, or a workflow that only works because one person keeps the whole thing in their head.

Before I automate anything, I want to see how the work actually gets done, where it gets stuck, and what's creating the mess in the first place.

A tall stack of paperwork with a hand reaching in to pull one sheet out.

Sometimes the problem is hiding in plain sight.

In trucking, getting paid means turning a pile of driver scale tickets into broker paperwork, invoices, and driver-pay math — every week, by hand, and wrong is expensive.

I got close enough to that to get sick of it, so I built a better way through. Paperwork that used to eat hours now takes minutes. That's the kind of thing I notice once I'm close to the work.

Show Me the Mess

You don't have to figure out which package you need. That's my job.

Your business is working. Your back office just hasn't caught up yet. Maybe the books are messy. Maybe the workflow is held together with electrical tape and voodoo. Maybe everyone knows the process is ridiculous, but nobody has had time to stop and fix it.

So send me an email, a text, or a voicemail and tell me what's going on. It doesn't need to be organized, polished, or particularly coherent. "My books are fucked and I don't know why" is a perfectly acceptable opening message.

I'll ask a few questions, take a look at the messy stuff underneath, and tell you what I found, what needs to happen next, and whether I'm the right person to do it. And if I'm not? I'll tell you that too. I'd rather point you toward the right solution than sell you the wrong one.

I do my best work with people who want the truth, not theater — people who'd rather know what's actually broken than hear that everything looks fine. You don't need to have your shit together. You just need to let me peek behind the curtain.

Shall we, then?
