My Story
An unlikely path to bookkeeping.
I've spent nearly 20 years doing physical outdoor work — building and testing mountain bike trails and snowboard terrain parks. By night I play in a band called Broke and Ugly. At some point the band started picking up steam and became a real small business, which meant invoices, expenses, and finances that needed to be tracked.
"I had to figure out bookkeeping fast — and somewhere along the way, I realized I was actually good at it and genuinely enjoyed it."
I got QuickBooks Online certified and started offering bookkeeping services to other small businesses. I'm still doing my outdoor work — I love it and I'm still going strong at 40 — but I'm building toward something more sustainable for the long run.
Granite Balance Bookkeeping is the result. A small, deliberate practice built around doing good work for a handful of clients who deserve a bookkeeper that actually cares.
