Success shouldn't mean sacrificing the life you're working so hard to build

2010s

I began my bookkeeping career as a single mom juggling work, school and raising my son. An opportunity at a tax office taught me the fundamentals, and I got genuinely interested in the accounting side of running a business — enough to take accounting courses and earn my Associate's degree in Business.

~10 yrs

I spent nearly ten years at that same office, building the foundation for the work I do today. In 2020, while pregnant with my second child, COVID changed everything. After my daughter was born I took time away to be fully present with my family — and by the end of that year I was ready to work again, on terms that kept my family first.

2021

Instead of going back to work for someone else, I spent several months building a plan of my own. With the support of family and friends, I launched Bolaños Bookkeeping. I started with fewer than five clients — and I still work with most of them today.

30+

Since then I've served more than 30 businesses and currently manage the books for around 20 across a range of industries. The work has grown, too: I've trained owners who wanted to run their own books, taken on one-time cleanups and special projects, and helped businesses untangle years of records — one cleanup covered 2013 through 2024.

Today

What started as a way to build a career around my family turned into a business I love. I've learned to manage my time so every client gets the attention, accuracy and quality they deserve — without giving up the time that matters most.
