Not your basic bookkeeper.

I've been living in the world of numbers and businesses for over 20 years — and I mean that literally. At 17, I was already working for a small IT company, building computers, setting up networks, and learning QuickBooks Desktop before I knew what a balance sheet was. That dual fluency in technology and finance has followed me ever since.

Over the next two decades I worked my way through office management, accounting, and bookkeeping across multiple industries — including years inside a CPA firm where I watched small business owners not receive the dedication and attention they deserved, yet were still billed for it.

That's why I started Muse Bookkeeping in January 2020. Not because bookkeeping needed another service provider — but because small business owners deserved better. Clear communication, clean books delivered on time, and a bookkeeper who maintains consistent communication and actually explains what the numbers mean.

Over the years I've had the pleasure of working with consultants, coaches, small marketing agencies, a video game developer, manufacturing companies, and an aircraft MRO.

I fully understand the inner workings of service-based businesses — from their usual tech stack, chart of accounts, and communication styles. I also still have my soft spot for IT/MSPs — I understand your RMM and why you have RMR, your contractor payments, and your tool stack. You won't spend twenty minutes explaining how your business works.

And please tell me you're not still billing by the hour and wasting hours on invoicing!

What clients actually say.

Megan has completed the regular tasks of reconciling credit card statements, putting together monthly P&L statements, compiling receipts, handling payroll, and coordinating sales tax payments. She has been the bookkeeper of two of my businesses for the past two years, and we have together managed to have no tax issues with the IRS or formal employee complaints to the Texas Workforce Commission. Megan has been able to navigate the ups and downs of a small business environment, which is always no simple task. She is diligent, treats me fairly, and has a broad range of skills related to bookkeeping. I recommend hiring Megan if you need a nimble and honest bookkeeper.
