   My practice specializes in helping service-based sole proprietorships with all of their accounting needs, from keeping their books up to date, processing their payroll, to planning and preparing their income & property taxes. Unlike many larger regional firms, no business is too small for mine. I believe every business should have access to quality accounting services, and I take pride in giving all of my client’s businesses the same attention I give my own. Small businesses have been my passion since childhood because I grew up in a very entrepreneurial family. My father, step mother, mother, aunt and cousins have all been self-employed in a variety of fields over the years. I\'ve helped them with their retail and service businesses, their creative arts businesses, and even with their restaurant businesses. My expertise comes not only from helping family businesses, but from my own experiences as a successful entrepreneur. My husband and I started our own small window washing & gutter cleaning firm over 10 years ago and have grown it to be the best window washing company in Yolo County with many employees and trucks spanning several counties.
