About

About IBRA Bookkeepers

I'm the bookkeeper behind IBRA Bookkeepers, a QuickBooks Certified Partner with an accounting degree and more than 10 years of experience. I'm based in Dumfries, Virginia, and I help small business owners across the DMV trade messy books for clean, accurate financials, working 100% remotely.

My story and why I started IBRA

I started IBRA Bookkeepers because I kept meeting small business owners who were drowning in their own books. They were good at what they did, running a shop, building a contracting business, growing a service company, but the bookkeeping kept slipping. Receipts piled up, QuickBooks fell out of sync, and tax season turned into a yearly scramble. I knew I could take that weight off their shoulders.

IBRA is a one-person practice on purpose. When you work with me, you work with me, not a rotating cast of account managers or a faceless call center. I keep my client list intentionally focused so every set of books gets real attention, and so the person reconciling your accounts is the same person who picks up the phone when you have a question.

My approach is simple: keep your books accurate, keep them current, and keep them in plain English. I'd rather explain what your numbers actually mean than bury you in jargon. The goal isn't just clean records, it's giving you the confidence to make decisions about your own business.

My credentials and experience

I hold an accounting degree and I'm a QuickBooks Certified Partner, which means I work day in and day out inside QuickBooks Online and know how to set it up correctly the first time. Over 10+ years of bookkeeping, I've learned that the difference between stressful books and easy ones usually comes down to a clean setup and consistent monthly upkeep.

Being QuickBooks Certified matters for a practical reason: most small business messes start with a software file that was never configured properly, a tangled chart of accounts, transactions categorized by guesswork, reconciliations that were never done. I fix those root causes rather than just patching the symptoms.

I'm a generalist, and I'm comfortable with that. I work with businesses across many industries, service providers, contractors, retailers, real estate professionals, and more. The fundamentals of solid bookkeeping carry across all of them, and I tailor the chart of accounts and reporting to fit how your specific business actually runs.

Based in Dumfries, VA, serving the DMV 100% remotely

I'm based in Dumfries, Virginia, in the heart of Prince William County, and I serve small businesses throughout the DMV, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. That includes nearby communities like Woodbridge, Manassas, Triangle, Stafford, and Lake Ridge, as well as clients farther out in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, and beyond.

All of my work is done 100% remotely. There are no in-person meetings, no office visits, and no travel, for either of us. I work in QuickBooks Online using secure, read-only bank connections, and we stay in touch by phone and video whenever you want to talk through your numbers.

Being local but fully remote gives you the best of both: a bookkeeper who understands the DMV market and the way small businesses here operate, with the convenience of never having to leave your desk to hand off a single receipt.

How I work and who I help

I keep pricing flat and predictable. Monthly Bookkeeping starts at $500/mo, Catch-Up & Cleanup starts at $750 with a flat quote after a free assessment, and Full Service runs $750 plus $500/mo. You'll always know the price before any work begins, no hourly meter, no surprise invoices, and no long-term contracts locking you in.

I'm a good fit for solopreneurs and single-member LLCs who want their finances handled properly, growing businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets or DIY QuickBooks, and owners who are behind on their books and dreading tax season. If you'd rather spend your evenings running your business than reconciling bank statements, that's exactly who I built IBRA for.

The easiest way to find out if we're a fit is a free consultation. We'll talk through where your books are today and what you actually need, with no pressure and no obligation. You can book a time that works for you through Calendly.
