Bookkeeping for Novato Businesses

Novato sits right at the bridge between Sonoma and Marin counties, and the businesses here reflect that: professional service firms, medical and dental practices, real estate offices, contractors, restaurants, fitness studios, and retail shops. Many Novato business owners commute to San Francisco or San Rafael for work but run their businesses locally. That means they need a bookkeeper who can work independently, stay on top of things, and communicate clearly without a lot of back-and-forth.

That's exactly how I work. I handle your books every month, keep your QuickBooks clean, and check in with you regularly to walk you through what's going on financially. You don't have to chase me down. I come to you with the information, not the other way around.

What I Provide

Monthly bookkeeping: reconciliation, categorization, QuickBooks management, financial statements. A personalized dashboard so you can see your cash flow and margins at a glance. And a monthly call where I tell you what's going well, what's shifting, and what to pay attention to.

I also do bookkeeping cleanup for businesses that have fallen behind. If your books are a mess and you've been dreading dealing with them, that's a normal starting point for most of my clients. I'll get it sorted before we begin monthly work.

Local to the North Bay

I'm based in Petaluma, just up 101 from Novato. I work virtually, so meetings happen over video or phone. But I'm local, I'm a real person, and I'm available when you need me. I serve clients across Novato, San Rafael, Petaluma, and the broader North Bay.

Let's Figure Out What You Need

No pressure, no judgment, no surprise pricing. Just an honest conversation about your business and what kind of support would actually help.
