About Laura

Practical financial guidance that fits your business.

I've spent 30 years in accounting: 10 in public accounting, where I worked as a CPA, and the last 20 self-employed as an independent consultant.

My specialty is helping contractors improve profitability, though over the years I've worked with businesses in just about every industry. I do that by looking closely at how your accounting system works, streamlining the processes around it, and putting simple, repeatable procedures in place so the numbers stay right month after month.

I've guided more than 250 businesses through QuickBooks setup, cleanup and training. Just as important, I help owners get comfortable reading their own balance sheet, income statement, cash flow, budget and key metrics, so they can make decisions without second-guessing.

I'm known for asking thoughtful questions and carefully listening to your answers. Every business is different, so I build solutions around how yours actually works.

Outside the office

A little about me.

My husband, Josh, and I have three grown children. When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me cheering on my kids' athletic endeavors, hiking, kayaking or swimming. My favorite time of year is our family's two-week vacation on Long Lake in Maine, where we spend time together and make lifelong memories.
