Let’s be honest: you didn’t start your business because you LOVE spreadsheets, ledgers, and reconciliation reports. (Unless you did… in which case, let’s be friends.) Most entrepreneurs started their business because they had a passion, a skill, or a brilliant idea—not because they were dying to categorize every expense and track depreciation schedules. But here’s the catch: if your books are a mess, your business is too—you just might not know it yet.


Cue the Horror Music: The Audit

The Audit
The Audit

Imagine it: You’re sipping your morning coffee, feeling pretty accomplished, when you get the dreaded letter. AUDIT. Your heart drops. You start flipping through crumpled receipts, expired software logins, and that notebook from last year labeled “2023 TAX STUFF??” (question marks included).

Suddenly, bookkeeping doesn’t seem so boring anymore.


You Deserve Peace of Mind (and Maybe a Nap)

You deserve to run your business without feeling like a financial detective every month. Clean books mean:

  • You know your actual profit (not just what’s in your checking account before rent hits).

  • You’re ready for tax season like a boss.

  • You can sleep at night knowing the IRS won’t send you an invitation to a surprise party (with no cake, just penalties).


How I Help (Without Judging Your Receipt Drawer)

Don't Judge Me
Don't Judge Me

Hi, I’m Jessica—bookkeeping nerd, notary, and the founder of Guardian Consulting & Notary. I help business owners get their finances untangled, in shape, and audit-ready. Whether you need:





  • A full setup and staff training ("Wait, QuickBooks does WHAT?")

  • Ongoing, in-house bookkeeping (so you can stay in your lane and not in Excel hell)

  • Quarterly clean-ups and financial reality checks (because “winging it” isn’t a tax strategy)


—I’ve got you covered.


Let’s Talk (It’s Free, I Promise)

If your books are a little chaotic, that’s okay. You’re not alone, and it’s fixable. I offer a free consultation to chat about where you are and how I can help you clean up, catch up, and stay sane.


Click that "Contact Me" button or send a smoke signal—I’ll respond to either.

Let’s get your books in order… before they file for bankruptcy without telling you. 😄
