Experience

1. Founder

   Upkeeping, Llc

   Jan 2021 — Present · Seattle, WA, US

   One day I woke up and decided I wanted to be an entrepreneur. Well, not really. It kind of just happened by chance, and I\'m thankful for that. Before this, I had picked up bits and pieces of mostly-beautiful experiences at CPA firms around the country while being a military spouse. I moved to Japan and worked on my Masters. I helped non-profits and created accounting courses for major universities and publishers.But my heart was always with the small business owners. I brought it back full circle to focus on bookkeeping and helping them truly understand their business. And in 2021, after a few years of dabbling as a hobby with a few clients, I made the leap to founder.Now I get to do this for fun and for life. And I get to advocate for our industry and help others see that you can live the accountant\'s dream, too.
