My story: How it came to be 12 Bar Accounting Services
I am a born accountant. I knew from the time I was in elementary school, that's what I was going to be when I grew up. Numbers just make sense to me, sometimes when nothing else does. I've been a corporate accountant for 24 years in numerous industries and finally I have gotten to the point in my career that I can begin rebalancing my life/work balance. It's time for me to be able to start traveling again for vacations and downtime like before the start of the pandemic. Also, I decided if I am going to work 60+ hours, why not invest it in myself? At least I will appreciate it. So, one evening while browsing online I ended up on the Vistaprint website decided I wanted a flaming fender guitar as my logo and to give a nod to the blues, the business name would be 12 Bar Accounting Services. Now we just have to see how the rest of the story unfolds.
My business offers full-service bookkeeping, budgeting, payroll, financial planning, notary services, tax preparation, business startup and other business consulting services. Specializing in small businesses. I have experience in a wide range of industries from bourbon, real estate & property management, project construction, engineering to healthcare.
When the numbers just aren't adding up, keep clam and call the accountant at 12 Bar Accounting Services!
