Founder · CPA

Hi, I'm Eliza.

CPA. Big 4 firm. Fortune 500. Now I do your books.

I started my career at a Big 4 accounting firm and went on to a Fortune 500 company. Everything documented, everything reconciled, everything reviewed.

Then I'd talk to friends running small businesses and realized that what felt straightforward to me was the thing they dreaded most. Not because they were bad at business, but because bookkeeping wasn't their expertise.

I started Peace of Mind so small business owners could stop worrying about their books and get back to what they do best.

Know which jobs make money. Know which ones lost it.

Every month, a clean P&L by job. Which projects netted a profit, which ones ate your margin, which subs cost more than you bid. No more guessing which branches of the business are carrying the others.

Gas receipts, cash, Home Depot runs. All tracked. Not guessed at.

Every glovebox receipt, every cash transaction, every subcontractor payment categorized correctly. Personal and business separated cleanly. Every expense has the documentation the IRS expects, so you're not exposed if they ever ask.

Your 1099s and year-end numbers ready before January 15th.

W-9s tracked all year. 1099 worksheets populated. Clean P&L, balance sheet, and general ledger in your tax preparer's hands weeks before the deadline. No rush fees. No April scramble.

Sound like what you need?

Free 30-minute call with me. No script, no pitch deck. We talk through your books and you decide if it’s a fit.

We Talk

A quick conversation. No homework beforehand. Tell Eliza where things stand and what’s been piling up. Behind on months? She’s seen worse. You’ll hang up with a clear picture of what happens next.

We Take Over

We connect to your accounts and take it from there. We handle everything without pulling you back in. If we ever need something, you get one clear question, not a vague to-do list.

You Stop Thinking About It

Every month, a clean report lands in your inbox. Not jargon. Just enough that you actually know where you stand.

That's the whole job. No surprises, no drama. Just your numbers, done.

Everything you need to know

Honest answers to the things people actually ask before signing on.

My books are a total disaster. Like, years behind. Can you fix that?

Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is one of the most common things we do for contractors. Whether you're a few months behind or longer, we reconstruct from bank statements, organize receipts, and get everything current. It's a normal part of what we do.

My wife has been doing the books in QuickBooks. Do we need to start over?

Usually not. We'll review what's there, clean up any miscategorized transactions, and take it from there. If QuickBooks is set up, we can work with it. If it's a mess, we'll untangle it. Either way, your wife gets her evenings back.

I mostly deal in cash and checks. Is that a problem?

Not at all. We work with contractors who run cash-heavy businesses every day. The key is proper documentation, and we'll set up a simple system that takes you about two minutes per transaction. It protects you if the IRS ever comes knocking.

How do you handle job costing for multiple projects?

We set up your chart of accounts to track income and expenses by job. Every material purchase, sub-contractor payment, and expense gets tagged to the right project. At the end of each month, you can see exactly which jobs made money and which ones didn't.

What about my 1099s for sub-contractors?

We track all sub-contractor payments throughout the year and help you stay on top of W-9s as part of our process. When January rolls around, your records are organized and ready to hand to whoever files your 1099s. No scrambling, no digging through Venmo history.

My books are a mess. Like, really bad. Can you still help?

Yes. This is actually the most common situation we see. Whether you're a few months behind or a few years behind, we do catch-up bookkeeping to get everything cleaned up and current. It's a normal part of what we do.

You only do bookkeeping. What about my taxes and payroll?

Bookkeeping is the daily and monthly recordkeeping that makes taxes, payroll, and everything else possible. We know exactly where our lane ends. Your books will be in perfect shape when your tax preparer needs them.

I already use QuickBooks. Do I need to switch anything?

Nope. We're QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certified and that's what most of our clients use. If you're on Xero or something else, we can work with that too. If you're not on any platform yet, we'll get you set up.

Can I really afford a bookkeeper?

One flat rate: $250/month for our next 20 clients, $300/month after that. Most business owners spend 5-10 hours a month on bookkeeping they're not good at. How much is your time worth? On top of that, clean books mean fewer missed deductions and lower tax prep fees. For most clients, the service pays for itself.

How is this different from the bookkeeper my friend recommended?

There are good bookkeepers out there. The difference here is experience and standards. Your bookkeeper is a certified public accountant trained at a Big 4 accounting firm and a Fortune 500 company. That means systems, rigor, and processes that most small business bookkeepers have never been exposed to. You get that same level of attention to detail applied to your business.

How long does it take to get started?

Setup is fast. Once we connect to your accounts, most clients are up and running within a couple of weeks. If your books need catch-up work, we'll give you a clear timeline and price before we start.
