Bonnie knew from an early age what she wanted to do with her life. Her two choices were to be a veterinarian or to work with numbers. Once she figured out she couldn’t stand the sight of blood, veterinarian was out of the running! Living in a small town, there were no accounting or bookkeeping courses available to her. Her persistent nature showed itself even then, as she pestered her parents to order a bookkeeping correspondence course which she completed and passed with flying colours. She knew then she had found her calling!
After 25 years in the accounting/bookkeeping industry working for someone else, Bonnie decided to start her own business. Her goal was to help small business owners who couldn’t afford to have a full-time bookkeeper on staff, and to provide the kind of customized service that she had always felt was important. Although she appreciates the freedom and flexibility that having her own business affords her, she is quick to emphasize that her clients’ needs come first!
