I am a social worker turned accountant, so in addition to the number-crunching and problem solving, I love working with people and helping them make sense of accounting.
I feel very lucky to live in a city where small businesses thrive, and I focus my work on the sole-proprietors, start-ups, and micro-enterprises around Portland.
Whether you're just starting out, or you are serious about getting your finances in order, I can help!

Erica was an invaluable resource and help to me and our small tech start up. Always available when we had questions, she listened to what we needed but also provided much guidance when we are unsure. Without her help I think the due diligence processes we had to go through when fundraising and, the ultimate sale to a large public company, would have been much longer and painful processes.

I hired Erica to take over all my accounting so I could focus on what I do best and grow my business. She has taken a huge weight off my shoulders. She is responsive, efficient and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Erica, it's the best investment I've made in my business!

Erica is a real lifesaver to us! She has the patience of a saint! She helps us navigate the bookkeeping needs of our two businesses with great finesse and positivity. She's utterly dependable and kind, two traits we find invaluable in a financial professional.
