  • Founder + QBO ProAdvisor

    Hi! I am Elle - a born and raised Alaska girl who spent my summers seining and tendering.

    After college I spent 8 years in corporate finance and founded Southeast Bookkeeping in 2019 to help entreprenuers like you efficiently manage your finances.

    I am also a mom of three who loves the outdoors, when I am not at my desk you can find me hiking, fishing for King Salmon, digging in my garden, or chatting with my chickens.

  • Bookkeeping Specialist

    Kym also grew up commercial fishing and has over 6 years of experience in managing finances for retail, nonprofit, manufacturing, production and a niche for small business financial record keeping.

    Kym works remotely from Oregon with her husband and two children. Outside of work her time is spent homeschooling, road trips to the beach with their sprinter van, and hikes with their sweet puppy, Zion.
