What Our Clients Are Saying…
“Transferring my bookkeeping over to Kim has been an absolute game changer! Before working with Kim, I was meticulously tracking expenses and managing receipts, which was both time consuming and very unenjoyable. With her expertise and top notch software, I don't have to worry about anything. I easily upload receipts when needed and everything else is completely automated.
Kim provides accurate and detailed owner reports and profit and loss statements each month and is always quick to respond to any questions or needs that I have. As a short-term rental owner herself, Kim has extensive knowledge about the industry and best practices in bookkeeping specifically for short-term rentals.
I would absolutely recommend Kim's bookkeeping services to any short-term rental owner and am so grateful for all she has done to help me grow my business!”
- Courtney Petrovich, Happy Trails Hospitality
“Before working with Kim, bookkeeping was something I never looked forward to. Tracking expenses and income was taking up too much of my time (several hours each month) and drained my energy. Every time I was doing bookkeeping, I was wishing I could use this time to grow my business.
Since working with Kim, things have completely turned around. She streamlined the entire bookkeeping process, and now I have a clear picture of my finances, and I’m confident that everything is being handled correctly. It’s given me back so much time, peace of mind, and energy, and has allowed me to scale my business and curate a world class service for my guests and clients.
For anyone on the fence about working with Kim, I’d recommend making the decision and moving forward. Her expertise and professionalism will make a huge difference in your business, and she provides a personalized service to what YOU need, thus freeing you up to focus on what really matters. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.”
