Christina - Hot Shot Coffee
Elle is professional, thorough & efficient. She exceeded all my expectations when it came to accounting services. She has met every deadline she sets, communicates throughout the entire process & gives guidance as needed. I really recommend her to any small business who needs help getting their books in order & keeping it there! She is very trust worthy & gives my business a complete sense of relief that I haven’t known while in operation until she took me on as a client!

Hi, I’m Elle!
I started my career in the fast paced world of corporate finance and in 2019 began building this business from the ground up. In 2023 I left the corporate world to go all in—serving the kinds of businesses I believe in most: resilient, community-driven, and deeply rooted in Southeast Alaska.
And that’s really what this is all about.
We’re here for the owners running brick & mortar businesses with big hearts and even bigger responsibilities. You're not just keeping a business afloat; you're holding up your community, your family, and your vision for a life that actually works for you.
Southeast Bookkeeping + Tax was built for you.
We know what it means to keep showing up for your family, your community, and the life you’re building in this wild, beautiful place.
That’s why we offer financial systems you can rely on, strategy that helps you grow with intention, and clean, visual reporting that makes your numbers actually make sense.
Now with an incredible team behind me, we are partnered with brick & mortar businesses across Alaska—helping them stay grounded, profitable, and ready for what’s next.
Because at the end of the day, this isn’t just about numbers—it’s about giving you the freedom and peace of mind to lead boldly, care for your people, and build a business that works for you.
