3 Lakes Bookkeeping

05/28/2026

If you’re a business owner DIYing your QuickBooks Online bookkeeping and constantly wondering if you’re doing it correctly…you are definitely not alone!

I’ve worked with so many small business owners who feel overwhelmed by QuickBooks, behind on bookkeeping, or unsure what their numbers are actually telling them.

That’s exactly why I created The Organized Owner.

This is a hands-on bookkeeping support series specifically for business owners who want practical help getting organized, understanding their finances, and feeling more confident managing their bookkeeping.

We’ll cover:
✔ QuickBooks Online Setup and best practices
✔ Bookkeeping monthly workflows & processes
✔ Tax-ready financial reporting
✔ Real-life Q&A support with small class sizes for personalized support

This is designed to be supportive, practical, and beginner-friendly. No accounting background required.

Multiple virtual and in person class options. Early bird pricing through June 25th!

When it's over 90 degrees and sunny, the beach is just calling our names. Even if it was just an impromptu beach bash after daycare pickup, and we were rocking our street clothes because, well, who needs a swimsuit anyway? Guess I will start keeping a beach bag in the trunk at all times!

Hope you all are loving the summer weather that decided to show up in the twin cities area (I guess we kinda skipped spring)

Sometimes, my clients tell me they just need “a little accountability.” And honestly, that’s one of my favorite parts of what I do.
Maybe you feel like your business’s numbers are fine, but the momentum for growth isn’t there. Well, let’s talk about your goals, even if those goals feel too big, too vague, and too far away.
Together, we can create a clear plan: a few focused priorities, with actionable steps tied to each one. Nothing overwhelming. Just simple, doable progress.
By the next quarter, things will look completely different. Let’s get your business moving forward, making sure decisions feel easier, and then you can say, “I finally feel in control.”
That’s what accountability looks like here. I don’t just hand you reports and walk away. I will walk beside you. I help you set priorities that make sense for your goals and check in to make sure you’re following through to create results.

🎉 Big news!

Thank you so much to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) and the St. Croix Valley Business Innovation Center (SCVBIC) for this incredible grant. It has been instrumental in helping me kick off something I've been wanting to do for a long time.

I'm launching an educational series designed to support local businesses who don't want to fully outsource their bookkeeping, but just need some guidance and support to feel confident doing it themselves.

This is something I've felt has been truly needed in our community, and now, thanks to this grant, I'm able to offer it at a lower cost to make it accessible for everyone.

If your books are behind, it’s okay.

You’d be amazed at how many independent business owners tell me they’re “embarrassed” by the state of their books. I promise, there’s no judgment here. I’ve seen it all, and I love turning chaos into clarity.

Outside of bookkeeping, I love being outdoors. Fishing, skiing, gardening, hiking, you name it, if it’s outside, I’m there!
I think sometimes people think those who work in bookkeeping are “boring.” Not me! I’m always up for adventure and a challenge! If you need to make more time outside of your business for more adventure, let’s create that space by outsourcing your books to 3 Lakes Bookkeeping. Let me take on the task so you can get back to doing more of whatever it is YOU love to do.
Let’s get started. Email me at [email protected]
