Welcome to
The Orca Blog
I’m so glad you’re here. This blog is your space to learn, explore, and get real answers about the financial side of running a business. I’m Leah—an ex-corporate senior accountant with deep experience in both finance and small business bookkeeping. I do the books for small business owners, based on the West Coast of the United States.
I won’t say “no sales pitch” - because my passion is ultimately helping small business owners feel relief, freedom, and less stress by taking on the books completely.
However, in these blog posts, these are meant to serve as both complimentary resources for those looking to DIY, and also those looking to learn more about my approach, background, and how I serve my clients who ARE looking to outsource.
Again, welcome to Orca.
Thanks for being here.
