Bookkeeping & Cleanup
Whether your books are behind, tangled from a DIY QuickBooks attempt, or just never set up properly, we'll sort it out and give you a clean foundation to build from.
Seek First Accounting
Rooted in Purpose, Built for Growth.
Seek First Accounting brings clarity, structure, and a trusted relationship to small businesses who have better things to do than worry about their books.
Let's Talk
About
Lisa's path to accounting wasn't straight: pre-med, mathematics, oil and gas, and eventually bookkeeping, where she found the work that actually fit. She joined Factor Accounting in 2022 and built something real with her clients. Now, she's launched Seek First on her own terms.
The name "Seek First" is personal. It's a daily reminder to stay grounded, the kind of foundation she brings to every client relationship.
What sets Lisa apart isn't just the numbers. It's that she never delivers a problem without explaining the why, and she never leaves you without a next step. She asks questions before making assumptions. She teaches, not just tells.
Her favorite moments? Hearing about a client's new grandbaby, or the job they just landed. The finances matter, but the relationship is what makes the work worthwhile.
Services
Whether your books are behind, tangled from a DIY QuickBooks attempt, or just never set up properly, we'll sort it out and give you a clean foundation to build from.
Operating as a freelancer without an LLC? Mixing business and personal accounts? We'll walk you through proper entity structure, S-corp elections when relevant, and how to set up your finances like a real business.
Regular bookkeeping, monthly reviews, and expense check-ins that catch costs you've forgotten about. You'll always know where your money is, and where it's going.
We'll set up QuickBooks correctly from the start, and make sure you actually understand how to use it, so it works for your business, not against it.
Who We Serve
Seek First works with small business owners who are great at what they do, and ready to hand off the financial piece to someone who cares as much as they do.
We have a soft spot for creative businesses: design studios, advertising agencies, media companies, artists building something real. We think in numbers. They think in colors. It's a natural fit.
We also work with freelancers and solo operators who are ready to stop running their business out of a personal bank account and start building something that lasts.
If you're a small business and you want a bookkeeper who actually explains things, you're in the right place.

Kind Words
"When it comes to my business: invoices, receipts, bookkeeping, taxes, etc is my absolute least favorite thing. It hurts my brain and when I try, it takes four times longer than it should (plus I'm still doubtful I did it correctly). Lisa is a lifesaver. Having her on-point for these things means I can focus on the stuff I'm great at. She's an absolute pleasure to work with and I have zero doubt that she's keeping me financially straight."
"Hiring Lisa at Seek First Accounting has been one of the best decisions we've made as a scaling nonprofit. She's not only incredibly trustworthy and takes the time to make sure I truly understand our financials, but she also genuinely believes in our mission and feels like a true partner in helping us grow our impact."
