Hi, I'm Steph.


After going through these steps a million times (only a slight exaggeration), I wrote this course to save time, money, and brain cells for clients, colleagues, and business owners.

Want to know the specifics?

Steph naturally creates order out of chaos, she can’t help herself, it’s her super power.

She’s worked in various parts of small business accounting since 2002. Everything from bookkeeping, payroll, and tax preparation to management, directorship and entrepreneurship. Her favorite things about work? The puzzles – solving them and getting the pieces to fall into place. And the people – helping them understand how the pieces fit too.

Steph loves dancing, especially outside. An avid hiker, after 24 years in Bozeman, she relocated to Phoenix and is exploring the Arizona cities and landscapes in the endless sunshine.
