My Background

About Angela
I’ve always had a natural passion for numbers and a commitment to accuracy. I started Bookkeeping by AJM™ because I love bringing clarity and calm to small business owners who want their finances handled with care.
My approach is simple: listen, understand your goals, and deliver organized, accurate books you can rely on. I believe bookkeeping shouldn’t feel stressful; it should give you confidence and control. That’s why I focus on transparency, clear communication, and steady month-to-month support.
Whether I’m reconciling accounts, preparing reports, or helping you understand the story behind your numbers, my goal is to make your financial life easier, cleaner, and more manageable.
