Accounting Services for Non-Profits
Non-profit organizations are built from a desire to help others or fill a need. Helping kids, seniors, animals, the marginalized, or the planet – you don’t want to spend your time on the mundane tasks of bookkeeping. Unfortunately, those tasks are vital for the success of the organization. I will support you by crunching the numbers for you, and providing the reports you need to flourish!
Running a non-profit means you’re wearing a lot of hats. Not only do you care deeply about your cause, but you must “be in business” in order to be successful. And that entails a lot of tasks that have nothing to do with your mission. Emptying the garbage, hiring employees, answering the phone, buying supplies, and of course, tracking funds so the vital year end tasks are taken care of. Your shoulders are sagging from all that weight.
Let me take that last hat off your head!
Consulting Services for any industry
You started your business because you love what you do, not because you like numbers.
“It takes a village.” This is a common mantra for new parents to help them feel less alone with this enormous new responsibility. Managing your own business can feel just as daunting. I’m here to tell you: you don’t have to do it alone! Accounting is one of the most dreaded tasks on a business owners to-do list. If you invite me into your village, I can teach you the skills and technology that will help make those tasks more streamlined, more efficient, and much less overwhelming.

About Jennine
I’m Jennine, and I call western Washington home. Life here is full of simple joys — hanging out with my hubby, walking my dog, being teased by my cat, cooking something new in the kitchen, and getting out in nature whenever possible.
I’ll admit I have a bit of “bookkeeper brain” — I get excited when numbers line up neatly and I can’t help but mentally balance things (even grocery receipts). But outside of work, I love keeping life lighthearted with fresh air, good food, and plenty of laughter.
Reviews
Jennine listens carefully to every request or problem, never dismisses it out of hand, works to thoroughly understand the need and purpose, and if QuickBooks can do it, she finds a way.

— John S, Women’s Mission
She is a collaborative accountant/bookkeeper who is always looking for ways to make things more streamlined and clear for all parties.
