Most of my clients call me right after an “oh no” moment.
A tax notice showed up and your stomach dropped.
The bank asked for financials, and you didn’t have any to send.
Your business is growing, but you can’t tell if you’re actually making money.
If you’re nodding along, please hear this: you’re not behind because you’re bad at business. You’re behind because you’ve been busy running one. That’s exactly where I come in.
From overwhelmed to in control
There’s no need to figure out which service you need before you reach out. Almost every client starts in the same place.

A CPA who explains things. Kindly.
I’ve been a CPA for more than 20 years and have run my own practice since 2008. Along the way I’ve seen just about every kind of messy books, and I promise yours aren’t the worst.
My job isn’t to judge how you got here. It’s to help you understand where you are, what it means, and what to do next, in plain English. I work with therapists, consultants, coaches, and other service-based owners who are great at what they do and ready to feel just as confident about their numbers.
When I’m not in the numbers, I’m a proud mom to human and furry kids. Numbers are only one of a hundred things on your plate. I’m here to make that one lighter.

What clients say
She has helped me for years. When she first helped me, another accountant I was using ghosted me completely. I highly recommend her as an accountant and business financial advisor.
Mandy B. · Business Owner
My law firm and I have worked with Melanie at Evolve for about 8 years. She understands my business and we could not be any happier with the responsiveness, the quality of the work and the excellent professional guidance we always receive.
Mark O. · Law Firm Owner
Melanie is a pleasure to work with, always professional, and overall brilliant at what she does. I would highly recommend her coaching services, and her bookkeeping is the best I have ever seen. 10/10 would recommend.
