My name is Elizabeth, native San Franciscan and professional Bookkeeper. Growing up, my parents struggled to juggle the many responsibilities of owning a small business. After studying economics, I was hired as a bookkeeper for a company in the financial district. Learning what bookkeeping provided to businesses, I thought back to my parents and the stress they faced whenever tax season creeped up upon them.

Despite working for a bookkeeping company and justifying how it can help them, my parents always refused and replied with the same sentiment:

We are not in the financial position to afford it.
