Are you stressed out just thinking about your finances?
You’re not alone, but in our experience, much of this stress and fear around numbers stems from the unknown! If this sounds familiar, you may be feeling:

Happy Clients

Meet Katie, Not Your Typical Bookkeeper!
If I start by telling you my degree is in animal behavior, you may wonder how I ended up in accounting…but it’s not as surprising a transition as you might think!
Several years working in a veterinarian’s office and then an animal shelter shaped my organizational and detail-oriented mindset. When it comes to data, my philosophy is to check as many boxes as possible. You never know when you’ll need that information later!
Eventually, I switched to bookkeeping and received my certification (CB) from the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers (AIPB) in 2011. I then worked as an administrative assistant and bookkeeper at a CPA firm before joining my mom, Joanne Baum, the founder of Details Matter Bookkeeping. She would become my mentor until she stepped back in 2017 and handed over the reins.
