I became a bookkeeper to help others build a relationship with their finances, gain confidence in themselves and free up more time to do the things they’re passionate about.

Cody Goertzen

Founder & Bookkeeper

Why I Became a Bookkeeper

Six years ago I had no budget, no game plan, was spending more money than I was earning and needed to make a change. Over the next few years I changed my relationship with my finances, created a strict budget and paid off all my debt. During this process I discovered a passion for finance and actually found myself enjoying it all (18-year-old me would be astonished to hear this).

Since then I’ve started taking care of the bookkeeping, budgeting and administrative tasks for my band and found I had a knack for it. Having all our financial ducks in a row gives us peace of mind, confidence and stability. It feels really, really good and I want to help others feel that too.

Every business is different. If you’re not sure whether we’re the right fit, let’s have a conversation.

Book a consultation

Goertzen Bookkeeping keeps a smaller client roster so every account receives dedicated attention, consistent communication, and one person who understands the story behind the transactions.

Yes. Cleanup and catch-up work can rebuild the foundation, then transition into a monthly process that keeps the books current.

That is the point. Reports are paired with plain-English context so you can connect the numbers to cash flow, decisions, and stress points in the business.

We work best with owner-operated service and trade businesses that value clear communication, reliable bookkeeping, and long-term support. We don’t specialize in retail or inventory-heavy businesses.

You’ll always know where things stand. We provide regular updates, respond promptly to questions, and stay in touch throughout the month, not just at tax time.

We work with the leading cloud-based bookkeeping platform, QuickBooks Online. If you’re unsure whether your current setup is the right fit, we’re happy to advise.

Absolutely. We work alongside your accountant to ensure your books are accurate, organized, and ready for year-end reporting and tax preparation.

We bill hourly, so you only pay for the work your business needs. Before we begin, we’ll discuss your requirements and provide a clear estimate whenever possible.

We begin with a discovery call to understand your business and current bookkeeping. From there, we’ll outline a clear plan and guide you through a smooth onboarding process.

If you’re looking for a responsive bookkeeper who values clarity, communication, and long-term relationships over high-volume service, there’s a good chance we’ll work well together. The best way to find out is with a no-obligation discovery call.
