About Northbound

Northbound Accounting is an independent, family-run, woman-owned accounting and bookkeeping firm. While established in Atlanta, Georgia, we now work remotely with clients all across the United States. Our experience ranges over a dozen industries including healthcare, publishing, retail, entertainment, construction, real estate, and hospitality (and we're always learning more).

We started Northbound because we're passionate about small business and love to see it thrive. As a mother and daughter duo, and business owners ourselves, we understand the risk. We want to remove (or at least stabilize) a little bit of that risk through rock-solid accounting, allowing you to make more confident decisions for your financial future.

✅ We are currently accepting new clients!

With decades of experience in Accounting and Operations for an extremely wide variety of industries, I have a proven track record of boosting profits. I work closely with my clients to analyze their business structure, processes, technology setup, and financial information to locate lost sales, lost money, and lost productivity.

I've seen it all...books that are months (or years) outdated, perfectly capable business owners that struggle to turn a profit, and frazzled owners/managers that can't keep track of complicated intercompany cash flow.

Let's put together a recipe for success. We can refine your existing workflows to better maximize time and resources...giving you time and mental energy to do what you love to do!

Before beginning my accounting journey, I was an entrepreneur in the entertainment industry, doing commercial illustration and editorial work for clients such as Warner Bros. Discovery and Macmillan Trade Publishing. While managing my own business's financials, I was surprised to discover a knack for numbers and optimization.

The knack blossomed into a full-blown passion, and now, I harness my skills of precision, research, and just a little creative problem-solving to help other incredible small and medium businesses get unstuck and on the path to easier profits.
