About Me: Meredith Skipper – Owner - Certified Bookkeeper and Loan Signing Agent (Notary)
Why I Love Supporting Small Business Owners
I have a passion for providing bookkeeping services and coaching to small businesses because, at the core, I truly believe in supporting families—both mine and yours. As a small business owner, I understand the challenges of juggling countless responsibilities while staying on top of your finances. I know what it’s like to work hard, chase your dreams, and still try to carve out time for a lunch break. Small business owners are out there doing what they love to support their families, and if I can help take the financial stress off your plate, that’s a win for everyone.
I find joy in balancing books, tracking expenses, and making numbers work for you. While many dread spreadsheets, I see them as a puzzle just waiting to be solved. Coaching is also a passion of mine because I believe every entrepreneur deserves the tools to build a business that not only supports their family but also brings them joy. If I can help someone turn their passion into a thriving, well-organized business, I’ve done my job—and hopefully saved them from a few late-night panic attacks over missing receipts.
Why Hire a Bookkeeper?
Hiring a precise, compliance-focused bookkeeper is vital for any small business. Financial accuracy and regulatory compliance can significantly impact your business’s success. A skilled bookkeeper ensures transactions are recorded properly, reducing the risk of costly errors, IRS penalties, and overdraft fees. As tax laws evolve, a knowledgeable bookkeeper keeps your records up to date and helps you maximize deductions while staying compliant.
Accurate bookkeeping also supports business growth by giving you a clear picture of profitability. This empowers you to make informed decisions about investments, hiring, and scaling. Additionally, well-organized records reduce the risk of audits and help avoid scrutiny from tax authorities. Proper bookkeeping is key to managing cash flow effectively, ensuring you always have the funds necessary for smooth operations. In the long run, having a skilled bookkeeper is an invaluable asset, providing financial clarity and peace of mind.
Why I Started Skipper Legacy Bookkeeping
I come from a family of entrepreneurs, particularly in ranching, where hard work and perseverance were ingrained in me from an early age. I was taught that a business isn’t just about making money—it’s about creating something that lasts and reflects your values. This mindset shaped my approach to work and inspired me to start Skipper Legacy Bookkeeping. I wanted to create a business that not only provides essential services but also helps others build their own legacies. That’s why I chose the name Skipper Legacy Bookkeeping—representing my commitment to helping business owners stay financially organized, grow with confidence, and create something meaningful for their families and future generations.
