Meet the Founder
Backed by 15+ years managing finances at the federal level.
Hi, I’m Tia!
I’m passionate about helping small businesses manage their books with clarity so they can spend less time working on spreadsheets and more time doing what they love. With over 15 years of accounting experience working for the Department of Treasury, and IRS, I bring the same attention to detail, integrity, and commitment I had during my federal service to my clients in Southern Maryland and beyond.
Outside of bookkeeping, I’m a mom to four amazing kids and one energetic Giant Schnauzer. During my free time, you can find me and my husband learning the ins and outs of homesteading, including raising chickens and all things related to honeybees as we plan our future apiary.

YOUR BOOKS SHOULDN’T KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT.
Time is one of the most valuable resources we have.
Every day we get 1,440 minutes and a choice of how we spend it. You can't get it back once it's gone.
Investing in professional bookkeeping means more than having your books in order.
It means Tuesday evening at the dinner table with your family instead of hunched over a laptop, wondering if you categorized that expense correctly.
That kind of freedom is something you can’t put a price tag on.
