I started with Balancing The Books in January 2019. I enjoy the fast paced small office vibe that comes with working here and all of the clients I get to work with. I have met some very amazing people along the way and appreciate the opportunity to work with them and their companies! Living and working in this community has been a great way to stay involved with local businesses.
