This adventure began in 2016, while seeking life-work balance doing something I enJOY. 

Bookkeeping was introduced to me as a side job when I was employed in the banking and wealth management industries, which is where I spent ten years learning the physical and psychological fundamentals of finances. While working full-time and having my first child, I earned an Associate's Degree in Accounting in 2009 and discovered my love for numbers in a new way. I continued to do bookkeeping work on the side for several years until an opportunity to launch my own virtual bookkeeping business came up and I went after it. 

It is an endeavor full of freedom, happiness and pride - granting me the flexibility to be a great wife, mother and bookkeeper.

 journalJoy is designed to build personal relationships with business owners, providing comprehensive bookkeeping solutions that will support the specific needs of the company. Our goal is to work closely with you to ease the burden that financial record-keeping can place on small businesses.
