About AJM

Personalized bookkeeping expertise you can trust.
Angela Macarthur, owner of Bookkeeping by AJM

At Bookkeeping by AJM™, I help small business owners gain clarity, confidence, and control over their finances, so they can focus on running and growing the businesses they love.

My career has always centered on helping people build something meaningful. I began in the culinary world, earning formal training and later running and operating my own restaurant as part of a larger resort business. That experience taught me firsthand what it’s like to manage payroll, vendors, cash flow, inventory, and the many moving pieces that keep a business running day to day. I understand the pressures restaurateurs and small businesses face, from tight margins to fluctuating revenue, because I’ve lived it.

Over time, I discovered that what I enjoyed most wasn’t just creating great food or guest experiences; it was making sure the business side ran smoothly behind the scenes. That realization led me to pursue professional training in accounting and bookkeeping, where I found my true passion: helping business owners stay organized, compliant, and financially secure.

Today, I bring that unique combination of real-world restaurant experience and professional financial expertise to every client I work with. I am a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and Xero Partner, trained to support businesses through setup, cleanup, monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and strategic financial guidance.

I specialize in working with:

  • Restaurants and hospitality businesses

  • Service-based small businesses

  • Entrepreneurs who feel overwhelmed by their books

  • Business owners who want clearer insights into their financial health

My approach is personal, practical, and collaborative. I don’t just keep your books, I help you understand them. Whether your records need a complete cleanup or you want ongoing support, I’ll work alongside you to create systems that save time, reduce stress, and support wise decision-making.

If you’re ready to gain clarity in your finances and feel confident about your numbers, I’d love to connect.
