Why I started Amazing Grace Bookkeeping

If someone had told me years ago that I would one day own a bookkeeping business while finishing my accounting degree, I'm not sure I would have believed them.

My journey into finance wasn't something I planned from the beginning. Like many people, I started by taking opportunities as they came and learning everything I could along the way. Over the years, I discovered that I genuinely enjoyed working with numbers, solving problems, and helping organizations understand their finances. What began as a job eventually grew into a career and a passion.

Today, I have more than 10 years of experience working in finance and accounting, and I'm currently entering my final year of college as I complete my Accounting degree. Returning to school later in life wasn't always easy, but it has been one of the most rewarding decisions I've ever made. Every class, every late-night study session, and every challenge has brought me one step closer to my goal.

As my knowledge and experience continued to grow, so did my desire to help others. That's what led me to create Amazing Grace Bookkeeping.

One of the things I value most is supporting local small businesses. I truly believe small, family-owned businesses are the backbone of our communities. They are the businesses sponsoring local sports teams, donating to fundraisers, supporting school programs, and showing up when their neighbors need help. They're the families sitting in the stands cheering on local athletes, attending pie suppers, volunteering at community events, and helping make our towns a better place to live.

These businesses aren't just places to shop—they're part of the fabric of our communities.

For a while, it felt like small businesses were fighting an uphill battle against larger corporations and online retailers. But recently, I've noticed something encouraging happening. More people are making a conscious effort to shop locally and support the businesses in their own communities. We're seeing sales tax revenues increase in many local communities, which is often a sign that residents are investing back into the places they call home.

Community pride is growing.

People are recognizing the importance of supporting local entrepreneurs, family-owned businesses, and hometown organizations. When local businesses succeed, communities thrive. Jobs are created, community programs are funded, and dollars stay local.

That shift gives me hope for the future.

Through Amazing Grace Bookkeeping, my goal is to help those businesses succeed by providing accurate, organized, and reliable bookkeeping services. Business owners already wear enough hats. They shouldn't have to spend their evenings buried in receipts, struggling with spreadsheets, or worrying about whether their books are accurate.

I want to give business owners confidence in their numbers so they can focus on what they do best—serving their customers, supporting their communities, and growing their businesses.

Thank you for supporting small businesses like mine and the countless others that help keep our communities strong.

Here's to growth, opportunity, and a bright future for local businesses everywhere.
