Arielle – Founder & Lead Bookkeeper

At AnchorPoint Bookkeeping, I bring a diverse background and a passion for numbers that’s anything but boring. My journey began in medical records, where managing sensitive information sharpened my meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accuracy. Later, transitioning into banking gave me hands-on experience with financial operations and customer service—a combination that now helps me connect with clients and keep their books in top shape.

My foray into bookkeeping started at home, helping with my husband’s business. After seeing the chaos of finances tackled at the end of a long day, I knew there had to be a better way. That’s when I decided to turn my blend of medical precision and banking expertise into a bookkeeping service focused on reliability, transparency, and making life easier for small business owners.

When I’m not balancing the books, I’m balancing life as a wife and mom. You might find me at the lake with my family, diving into a board game, or perfecting the art of “just one more chapter” with a good book. For me, life is all about finding harmony—whether it’s in finances or family time—and I’m here to help you do the same with your business.
