Hi, I’m Sarah!
Traditional financial services don’t work for everyone
so I adjusted my approach.
I'm a Calgary-based bookkeeper and founder of The Accountant's Daughter. I do bookkeeping - but I make it not suck.
You don't have to be a mathlete who loves spreadsheets to have good books. I built my services around applying nervous system-aware principles, meeting you as a human with a nervous system that sometimes gets overwhelmed.
What that looks like:
→ Camera-optional calls, because not everyone likes to be perceived
→ Flexible formats to review your reports, so you actually know what your numbers mean
→ The Community Exchange Program, because financial access shouldn’t be a gatekeeping tool
→ And when you say, “I’m too overwhelmed for numbers today,” we reschedule. No drama.
How I built this:
I'm certified in trauma-informed care through Somatic Integrationist Stacey Madden at Mindful Somatic Wellness. I've completed two of three phases focused on nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and trauma-informed practices. (Phase three beginning in early 2026!)
These approaches draw on wisdom from communities who've understood the relationship between money, nervous systems, and survival long before they became mainstream.
I’ve also been a bookkeeper supporting Canadian therapy and wellness practices for over five years.
That combo? It lets me create systems that work with you, not just your income statement.
Common shifts my clients report:
→ From "I think I'm profitable?" to "I made $23K this quarter."
→ From dreading tax season to feeling prepared months in advance.
→ From financial burnout to making confident business decisions.

The bottom line:
You're not broken, the systems are. That's why I've built systems designed to support your nervous system, reduce barriers, and help you build a sustainable business that works for you.
Scope of Practice Disclaimer: While I bring a trauma-informed understanding to our work together, I am a bookkeeper, not a financial therapist. My role is to support your business's financial organization and understanding while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. If you're interested in working with a financial therapist, I would be happy to refer you.
