About Ruth
More than a bookkeeper — a trusted partner.
I have always had a strong sense of community and a heart for serving others. As a Christian, a wife, and a mother of three, faith and family are at the center of everything I do.
With a background in accounting, I developed a love for numbers and the valuable stories they tell about a business. After the birth of our third child, I decided to start my own bookkeeping firm so I could continue using my skills while balancing family life.
Today, I work with small business owners to simplify their bookkeeping and provide clear insight into their financial numbers. My goal is to be more than just a bookkeeper — I aim to be a trusted part of their team, helping them understand their finances and make confident decisions to grow their businesses.
I believe when business owners have clarity about their numbers, they gain the confidence to focus on what they do best.
Relationship-FocusedI take time to understand each business and build genuine, long-term relationships.
Clear CommunicationI explain financial information in a simple, easy-to-understand way.
Detail-OrientedI keep financial records accurate and well organized.
Reliable & ConsistentBusiness owners can depend on me to keep their books up to date.
Insight-DrivenI help business owners understand their numbers to make better decisions.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Have a question before reaching out? Here are some answers to common ones.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes! I offer a free initial consultation for all new clients. This is a no-pressure conversation where we can talk about your business, your needs, and whether we're a good fit to work together.
What software do you use?
I primarily use QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Payroll, and I'm a certified ProAdvisor at Level 2. I can work with QuickBooks Desktop as well, and can set up or migrate your account if needed.
Can you help if my books are a mess?
Absolutely. Book cleanup and catch-up is one of my specialties. Whether you're months or years behind, I'll work through your records systematically to get everything accurate and current.
Do you work with businesses outside of Cincinnati?
Yes! While I'm based in Cincinnati, I work with clients remotely across the country. All bookkeeping is done digitally through QuickBooks Online, so location is no barrier.
How much do your services cost?
Pricing is customized based on your business size, transaction volume, and the services you need. Reach out for a free consultation and I'll put together a plan that fits your budget and your needs.
