About Balancing Act Accounting
A Trusted Partner for Your Business Finances
For over 15 years, I've helped small business owners across Southwest Florida take control of their numbers — so they can focus on what they love.

My Story
I founded Balancing Act Accounting because I believe every small business owner deserves the same quality of financial guidance that large corporations take for granted. Too many hardworking entrepreneurs are left to figure out their books on their own — and that's where I come in.
With over 15 years of hands-on experience in bookkeeping, payroll, and financial consulting, I've worked with hundreds of small businesses across Lee, Charlotte, and Collier counties. From brand-new startups to established local businesses, I've seen the challenges that come with managing finances while also running a company.
My approach is personal. I take the time to understand your business, your goals, and your challenges — then I build a financial system that works for you. Whether you need day-to-day bookkeeping, help with QuickBooks, or strategic financial guidance, I'm here as a true partner in your success.
