History

Established in 1999.

By the late 1990s I’d had bookkeeping jobs for a long time already when I received a grant to attend community college to fill in my accounting education. I had a private client or two on the side by then when I went to work for an independent bookkeeping firm who provided services to the general public. I learned all about handling the distinct bookkeeping needs of simultaneous clients. I also discovered that I really enjoyed giving good service, and that it was natural to me to go above and beyond, every day. That was where I got laughed at for saying, «All my clients are special clients.» But I really meant it, and soon fully transitioned out of the work force and into my sole proprietorship, where I never got a weekend off again but at least I was the boss. In 2015 when I incorporated my well established business, it was a continuing education episode all in itself.
