Built on trust, driven by care.

My mission is to take the stress out of bookkeeping for the people doing good work in the world — and having fun while doing it!

Hi, I’m Patricia, the founder of Nine Lives Bookkeeping. I’m a virtual bookkeeper who specializes in helping tech founders, developers, and IT consultants — and I also work with neurodivergent entrepreneurs, organic farms, and other earth-conscious small businesses to bring clarity, structure, and consistency to their finances.

I’ve had a love of tech my whole life — I went to college for IT, built my own computers, have been building websites for years, and yes — I’m also a gamer who used to write game guides. I speak your language, understand your workflows, and genuinely get excited about modern tech stacks. That means fewer questions, faster results, and books that actually reflect how your business works.

I also use modern, cloud-based financial tools that integrate cleanly with how tech businesses actually operate, so no spreadsheet spaghetti, no legacy chaos, just clean systems that work.

With over 8 years of experience supporting small businesses and nonprofits, and a Certified Accounting Associate (CAA) certification from Akadian Accounting Education, I bring a practical, organized, and genuinely caring approach to your finances. My background in administration, HR, management, and operations gives me a well-rounded understanding of how businesses actually run day to day. And if you happen to share your workspace with a cat, we’ll probably get along just fine.

As a neurodivergent business owner myself, I know what it feels like when the books pile up and the overwhelm sets in, and I offer patience, clarity, and zero judgment to other neurodivergent entrepreneurs.

Nine Lives Bookkeeping was built on a simple belief: small business owners deserve clean books without the overwhelm. I understand how quickly bookkeeping can fall behind when you’re busy running your business, and I’m here to take that off your plate.

My approach is straightforward: I keep your books accurate, organized, and easy to understand — no unnecessary complexity, no confusing jargon. Just clear, consistent support so you always know exactly where you stand. Whether you’re catching up on months of backlog, starting fresh, or just need reliable ongoing support, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence. Spend less time in your books and more time doing the work you love.

The name Nine Lives Bookkeeping is personal. It’s about resilience, fresh starts, and the belief that it’s never too late to build something of your own. No matter where you’re starting from or how many times you’ve had to start over. Oh, and cats. Definitely cats.

If you’re ready for a fresh start or just need consistent support, I’d love to connect.

Occasionally, I am assisted by my cat, Loki, who
takes his role at Nine Lives Bookkeeping very seriously. Cat people are especially welcome!
