Online bookkeeper + bookkeeping coach for boutique owners who are ready to finally make sense of the money
Megan - your bookkeeping bestie.
I was on maternity leave with my 2nd baby when I got a 6 month notice that I was gonna be losing my job.
And let me tell you, it was a BLESSING!
It had always been my dream to be a SAHM, and this was God opening that door.
So I decided to use my education & experience (and my severance) to start Finding Freedom Financial Services and be the online bookkeeper to help other small business owners understand the finances in their own business, all while staying home with my babies.
My business started with a severance package and a newborn baby...
Bookkeeping is a learned skill, it doesn’t just come naturally the moment you decide to open a business.
Have you ever tried to put a puzzle together without knowing what it’s supposed to look like?
That’s what doing your bookkeeping is like without knowing what it’s supposed to look like. All the numbers fit together, and when done correctly, it creates a holistic picture of your business.
It’s become my mission to help boutique owners learn how to create & understand that picture.
Now, I’m here to teach you what I know so you can finally understand how the money-side of your boutique works.

my greatest priority is...
Making sure we’re supporting our clients & students the best way we can. We’re constantly asking for feedback on our products & services to make sure we’re providing them with what they need to be successful.
There are no “dumb” questions when it comes to your finances. I encourage you to ask ANY question you have about your numbers because that is the BEST way for you to learn.
I TRULY believe that...
Finally understand the money-side of your business so you can use that information to help you grow a more profitable boutique and pay yourself what you deserve.
my goal is to help you...
– Galatians 5:13
“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use that freedom to serve the flesh, but through love, serve one another"
Favorite scripture
This verse perfectly sums up our mission at Finding Freedom. We are free in Christ because he has sacrificed Himself for our sins. But instead of using that freedom solely for our own benefit, we choose to serve our clients, our students, and our team as best we can. We want to help everyone find whatever freedom they are seeking - freedom in Christ, financial freedom, freedom from money-stress, or even freedom of time.
What We're Founded On
Our Purpose
I graduated with my Accounting degree and snagged my first “big girl” job as a corporate Staff Accountant (essentially a glorified bookkeeper)
Way Back Where It All Started...
I lost my job so I embraced the life of becoming a SAHM. I started this business as more of a hobby to give me something to do, and it has grown into something more than I ever could’ve imagined!
Launched My Buisness
I quickly realized that not all bookkeepers have the specialized knowledge to serve retail businesses, and the complexity of it can be extra confusing for the business owners with zero bookkeeping or accounting training. I started creating resources specifically for the boutique industry to help them learn to take control of their money and embraced the role of becoming a bookkeeping coach for those who needed it.
Niched Down to Serve Boutique Owners
After over 12 months of planning & prep work, I *finally* launched this passion project teaching boutique owners how to do their own bookkeeping in Quickbooks Online.
Launched Bookkeeping Made Simple for Boutiques
I’m continuing to live my dream as a SAHM (now with 4 kids!) while helping boutique owners and other independent retailers find clarity in their numbers.
Empowering Boutique Owners
So many boutique owners are amazing at curating beautiful products and creating memorable customer experiences—but weren't given the roadmap for making sense of the money side of their business. Sales are regularly coming in, yet they feel clueless as to where all that money disappears to each month.
Now I get to do what I love - help boutique owners make sense of the money so they can grow & scale a profitable boutique.
to sum it up:

“Megan & the team are hands down one of the best investments I’ve made for our brick & mortar retail business."
I genuinely feel *in control* of our numbers in a way I never have before.
I’ve worked with clients in various different point of sale platforms, and this one is DEF my favorite. They offer tons of different reports to really dig into the numbers, PLUS it’s the best converting checkout cart on the market.
Shopify
My favorite payroll company! They pull all the applicable taxes at the time of payroll so there’s no surprise quarterly or annual tax payments coming out of my account that mess up my cash flow.
Gusto
This is my favorite bookkeeping software to help you spend LESS time on your bookkeeping while being even more confident in your numbers. Less time on your bookkeeping means more time to make money!
Quickbooks Online
I LOVE using canvas prints to decorate our empty walls, but they can be EXPENSIVE. That’s why I love Canvas Prints - they offer great quality wall canvas prints at a fraction of the cost of most companies.
Canvas Prints
Kids books that teach biblically-based, foundational values. We’re part of their “book club” where we get a new book mailed to us each month, with different activities & games included to reinforce the lesson(s) taught in each book.
Brave Books
This has been a game changer for our family. It keeps all of our crazy schedules, to do lists, chores, and shopping lists in one centralized place, and even has a built in rewards system so our kids are EXCITED to do their chores.
Skylight Calendar
If you’re ready to be CONFIDENT & EMPOWERED by your numbers, then it’s time to stop avoiding them.
let's work together
