Business Works Inc.

I love that I get to work with so many different types of clients, from restauranteurs and bartenders to contractors and day care services. To me, accounting is like putting together a puzzle—working on someone’s books is like sitting down and pulling together many little pieces of financial information to make a perfect financial picture. Bring me your disparate pieces, your shoeboxes full of receipts and back logs of invoices — I love nothing more than bringing organization to your financial life and that of your business. As a small business owner myself, I deeply understand the specific needs of and demands on small business owners and love helping fellow Portland businesses not just survive, but thrive. When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy being an active member of both my local Montavilla community as well as the greater Portland community. My perfect day starts at the farmers market and ends with enjoying a great play or musical.

I received a BFA in photography from Eastern Kentucky University in 2005, and moved to Portland in 2006 and after several years working in the service industry I went back to Portland State University and earned a Post Bachelors Certificate in Accounting. When I’m not at work, I enjoy cooking, watching interesting media, and playing board games with my partner and our dog, Polly.
