Why Hire a Bookkeeper
Let’s be honest…
If your desk looks anything like the one in that photo, you’re not alone — and you’re definitely not the only business owner buried under receipts, statements, and spreadsheets. Most don’t realize how fast the paperwork can pile up… until they’re drowning in it.
But bookkeeping isn’t just about organizing chaos — it’s about building clarity. When your books are handled monthly, you get more than tidy reports — you get real-time insight into your financial health. You know exactly where your business stands. You can see if it’s time to grow, pull back, invest, or pivot. That kind of clarity? It’s powerful. It lets you run your business, not just react to it. Monthly bookkeeping also means fewer surprises come tax time. When income and expenses are categorized properly throughout the year, you don’t lose valuable deductions. You’re not guessing — or scrambling. You’re ready.
You started this business to pursue something meaningful — not to lose hours chasing lost receipts or sorting through old statements. Hiring a bookkeeper frees you to focus on the work you love, while making sure your numbers support where you’re going.
Because a great bookkeeper doesn’t just clean up the past — we help you build a smarter future.
Why Work with Me
Having owned two businesses—a maid service and a salon—I know firsthand what it takes to run a small business: the long hours, constant decisions, and the challenge of wearing every hat. I also know that bookkeeping often falls to the bottom of the list, even though keeping your finances in order is the foundation of success.
On top of being a business owner, I also spent nearly 15 years as an in-house bookkeeper. That means I don’t just understand bookkeeping in theory—I’ve lived it in real business settings. I bring both perspectives: the experience of managing my own businesses and the technical know-how of maintaining accurate, reliable books.
When you work with me, you’re getting more than just a bookkeeper. You’re getting a partner who understands exactly what you’re going through, someone who knows how precious your time is and how stressful financial uncertainty can feel. My commitment is to make bookkeeping simple, clear, and stress-free so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.
Your Trusted Partner at AAG Wise Book Keeping LLC
Hi, I’m Anna — and before I was a bookkeeper, I was a business owner just like you. Actually, I ran two different businesses over the course of 20+ years, and during that time, I wore all the hats — just like you’re probably doing now. I know what it’s like behind that closed office door when the phone’s ringing, a staff member needs help, and there’s a stack of receipts growing taller by the day.
For 15 of those years, I handled the bookkeeping myself — not because I loved numbers at first, but because I knew how important it was to understand my business from the inside out. Month after month, I learned how powerful it is to have clear, up-to-date financials. It’s not just “doing the books” — it’s giving yourself a roadmap. Knowing your numbers helps you make smarter decisions, grow stronger, and avoid those panic moments come tax time.
Now, as a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor, I help other business owners get that same clarity — the kind that lets you sleep better at night and plan better for the future. I truly believe monthly reports aren’t just for your accountant; they’re for you, the person building this dream, to know what’s working and what needs adjusting.
Here’s the truth: I can help — because I’ve walked in your shoes. I’ve lived the late nights, the hard decisions, and the pressure of keeping everything running. And now I’ve combined that real-world experience with professional bookkeeping expertise to become a reliable partner to business owners who need support.
You don’t have to carry it all alone. And yes, it’s true what they say…
Behind every successful business is a great bookkeeper — and sometimes, that bookkeeper used to be the boss, too. 😉
