We’re deep in the numbers, so you can rest easy at night

Why we’re better than the best mattress you’ve ever bought

Screw being the top bookkeeping business. Catch us on the bottom.

Because we’re getting to the bottom of why things are the way they are. We ask questions. Actually listen to you (radical, we know), and create a streamlined system that makes your books accurate and useful for you.

Lookout Bookkeeping started because Melissa wanted to leave her job and she knew she could help business owners with their bookkeeping. And do a damn good job. Maybe you’re actively avoiding yours right now. That’s why we’re the long-term partner you can rely on for answers, support, and certainty.

You focus on your business, work-life balance, and what you’re bringing to next month’s potluck. We have the numbers handled.

Hi, I’m Melissa

Founder and CEO of Lookout Bookkeeping

How did you become a bookkeeper? A pretty standard question that’s even more standard when you hear I was an athletic trainer for 20+ years. My friend was running a business at the time and asked me to do “some bookkeeping, invoicing, and a little marketing” for their business. A task we all know is so little.

And I loved it. I know, someone who loves the task you hate, what is this place?! My no sugar-coating style from the athletics world lands pretty well with business owners, so I expanded into Lookout Bookkeeping to support even more high-growth businesses.

After just over 4 years, Lookout Bookkeeping crossed the $1M revenue mark. We take crushing goals seriously and your business is no exception. Yes, even if you think your books are beyond help.

Fun Facts About Melissa

I love a good mess.

When a business owner goes from chaotic books to being able to understand and talk about their finances, I buy myself a celebratory glass of red wine.

When I’m done with your books, my hands are digging into a knitting project.

Because let’s be real, I never have free hands.

My mom may say I have way too many plants.

But I don’t think I have too many. They’re all extremely well taken care of.
