Bookkeeper & Owner of BookKeepBalance

Capable. Easy to work with. Reliable.
That is what small business owners actually need from a bookkeeper - and that is what I deliver.
I know you are busy making money, taking care of your customers, your family, and everything else. Bookkeeping is not your priority - but it is something every business needs. That is where I come in.
Clean books, ready on time for tax season. Numbers you can actually see and understand when you need them. And when I need something from you - I just ask. No guessing, no chasing.
I don't judge messy books. I keep my promises - as long as you send me the receipts and answer my questions ;)
And I don't use accounting jargon - mostly because I didn't learn accounting in English anyway :)))
My background is a little unusual for a bookkeeper - but that is exactly why it works.

I did not plan to become a bookkeeper. Honestly, if you had asked me back then, I would have said librarian - or maybe owning a small bookstore with a coffee corner.
I started as a bank teller. Then led teams, then departments. Then moved into IT - as part of a project building a new core banking system. Lucky to be there, lucky to learn. APIs, data architecture, the invisible stuff that runs when you tap your card. Then online marketing, campaigns, strategies. An account manager at a small agency. Then freelancing for small business owners - CRMs, intranets, a bit of consulting.
In the middle of all that I moved to Canada - following my husband for what was supposed to be a one-year IT project. You know how those go. After a few years back and forth, working remotely from Prague and taking care of our children, our family decided to stay.
And then - bookkeeping. It turned out to fit me better than a bookstore ever would. I like puzzles. I am stubborn enough to find the missing piece. And I have enough background to understand not just your books, but your business.
I don't judge messy books. Fair warning though - I will annoy you. I will ask about that receipt, that invoice, that one transaction from three months ago. That is kind of the point.
That's it. That's me.
