Credentials & Certifications

I’m a little obsessed with staying current on the tools my clients actually use day to day, especially QuickBooks. That means ongoing training, testing, and recertification through Intuit so you’re not getting “I watched a YouTube video once” bookkeeping.

Here’s what that looks like in real life:

  • Verified Intuit / QuickBooks certifications backed by formal testing

  • QuickBooks ProAdvisor training in both online and desktop environments

  • Ongoing education in bookkeeping, payroll, and small-business/tax best practices

  • A commitment to using real-world, up-to-date guidance instead of outdated rules of thumb
