About
Remote bookkeeping for small businesses, done securely and entirely online.
I specialize in virtual bookkeeping for sole proprietors, single‑member LLCs, and simple partnerships. I also prepare straightforward individual tax returns: Form 1040 and 1040 with Schedule C, plus simple partnership 1065 returns with K‑1s only.
With over 11 years in business and multiple accounting degrees (Associate, Bachelor of Science, and an accounting diploma), I bring strong expertise in QuickBooks (all versions) and clear, organized books for you and your CPA. Services include one‑time cleanups, ongoing maintenance, QuickBooks setup and conversions, and QuickBooks/NetSuite training.
Standard rates start at a $200 minimum and $35/hour (training $60/hour, $200 minimum). I do not accept Accountant’s Copies or CSV files for security reasons.
If you’re ready for accurate, dependable remote bookkeeping, contact me to schedule a free consultation.

Five stars! Shanna with SJL Bookkeeping is detail-oriented, trustworthy, and incredibly efficient. She takes the stress out of managing my financial records and kept everything running seamlessly. I couldn’t ask for a better partner for my business!

Shanna did a great job of keeping the books and reconciling bank statements, something i really don't like to do

As a small business, we needed a bookkeeper we could trust. Had prior relationships — everything from big accounting firms to mom & pops. It wasn’t until we were able to connect with Shanna at SJL Bookkeeping LLC that we have been this satisfied!
SJL was prompt with understanding our small business needs. SJL is organized and is clear in communication — essential for a busy office. SJL keeps our business on-track and makes value-added contributions for how we can improve our financials and tax position.
Any time we have a one-off question, SJL has always responded with guidance, including an explanation. This is impressive as even with large accounting firms, we often waited days to get the run around with schedules and reschedules. For the customized services provided, SJL is reasonable with the cost for services. SJL has been a refreshing change on this industry and has been a perfect match for our needs.
If you are a small business and have been stressing about your bookkeeping, I would highly recommend you investigate how SJL might be the solution you’ve been missing.

Shanna is the ultimate professional, not only is she extremely competent and organized, she cares about her clients and treats their business as if it is her own! Shanna's knowledge of quickbooks is impressive and she can break it down in order to educate the client to have a better understanding of their cash flow. We are grateful to be able to trust Shanna with our bookkeeping!
