Justine is a bookkeeping expert, business mentor, and proud mom of three. Against all odds she built a successful bookkeeping agency, serving world-renowned
galleries and artists, and some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the online business space.

She grew her business to a recognizable brand with over 100 clients and a team of 12. She optimized business systems and harnessed both tech and talent so her firm ran nearly virtually without her.

She sold her business in early 2023 to her dream buyer so she could focus on her life vision “Helping the world by helping people.”

She lives her vision daily through her program Bookkeepers Business Incubator which she leads from her chandelier-clad backyard She-Shed (it’s a whole vibe.) It’s Justine’s heart and soul’s mission to take bookkeepers and accountants – especially mama birds like her – from broke and burned out to prosperous and at peace.
