If you're reading this, you probably saw my email and wondered what was behind it. It used to be a plain black-and-white page. Now there's a bit more.
I'm an accounting student in Grand Rapids, working toward my bachelor's degree. I've spent three tax seasons preparing and reviewing individual returns. On the side, I ran a small Amazon e-commerce business for a few years, handling the sourcing, pricing and inventory and keeping all of its books in QuickBooks Online. I like work where the details have to be right: checking documents, reconciling numbers, and keeping records someone can find again later.
