About Us

As a Florida and Lee County native, I've had a front row seat to how much this area has grown. Places I learned to drive are now full neighborhoods - and behind every one of those businesses are real people.

Bookkeeping started for me in my family’s business, working alongside my grandmother. We worked with contractors and service-based businesses, and it never felt like “just numbers.” We knew the owners, their families, their employees - the people behind it all. It was personal. Looking back it felt simple … almost like Mayberry.

That stuck with me.

Because the reality is—most business owners are doing a lot.
Long hours. Too many hats. Trying to keep everything moving.

And bookkeeping usually isn’t the part they love.

I’ve seen firsthand how frustrating it is to spend time on something that’s not your strong suit - only to realize it could’ve been done better and faster by someone who does this every day.

THAT is why I do what I do.

At Blue Collar Bookkeeper, we keep your books accurate, organized, and up to date—so you’re not guessing, stressing, or trying to figure it all out on your own.

Because behind every set of books is a business owner who just needs clear numbers—and a little support.

How this changes your day-to-day: Taking bookkeeping off your plate, keeping your reports clear and easy to understand, and organizing your documents and receipts—so everything is handled, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Experience That Matters Before starting my own business, I spent 40+ years in administrative, bookkeeping, and finance roles across a variety of industries—from an optometrist’s office to a hotel.

But contractors? Those are my people.

Hard-working, personable, and the kind who’d give you the shirt off their back.

What I Love Most About This Work There’s nothing better than taking a QuickBooks file that’s a complete mess—and turning it into something clear, organized, and actually useful.

Because it’s not just about clean books.

It’s about helping a business owner who’s been overwhelmed finally have numbers they understand—and can use to move forward with confidence.

A Little About Me I’ve been married for 25+ years and have three teens who are quickly becoming independent young adults. They also have a funny way of reflecting a few of my less lovable traits back at me—keeps me humble. 😅
