Meet the Founder | Experience Beyond the Numbers
Hi, I'm Christy Phillips.
I understand the numbers—and the work behind them.
My experience in bookkeeping began at 19, working with green ledger paper and my family's businesses. What started with the fundamentals grew into decades of practical experience with bookkeeping, payroll, accounting support, and tax preparation. I've worked with QuickBooks since it first launched, and I've seen accounting tools evolve from handwritten records into the sophisticated systems businesses rely on today. I bring that experience and attention to detail to every client relationship.
My perspective reaches beyond the office. I've worked alongside contractors and done hands-on work involving automotive maintenance, landscaping, and home repairs. I know how much planning, labor, materials, equipment, and time go into delivering a service—and why understanding those costs matters when you're running a business.
That background helps me connect financial records with the realities of day-to-day operations. Whether you're an independent contractor, a service provider, a startup founder, or the owner of an established business, I want you to understand where your money is going and feel more confident about your next decision.
