about

I am passionate about helping business owners gain financial clarity.

Meet Nikole, owner and your numbers savvy bestie.

Born and raised in Maine, I received my bachelors degree in accounting in 2016. While in school I gained experience through working in finance at a local municipality. I then went on to work for a private company with multiple subsidiaries including: manufacturing, retail, consultants and rental properties. With over twenty years of experience, I’ll be able to help you grow and understand your financial position.

When I’m not crunching numbers, I am spending time with my kiddo, husband, three fur babies (two huskies and a jack russell) and family and friends. We are outside a lot either going for a walk, going to the beach, visiting farmers markets, relaxing watching Netflix (yup some series have to be binge watched), trying new recipes and baking.

Here’s the scoop

So many chapters led up to getting me here…

To be honest, there wasn’t a specific moment that made me decide to become a bookkeeper, let alone a business owner.

Like any teenager after high school there is that oh my what do I want to do for work the rest of my life?! It wasn’t until a family member mentioned accounting that I considered that route. In fact, math was my least favorite subject in high school, ironic right! I of course took some time to think about it, and decided that accounting is a practical and useful education anywhere in the world and went for it.

While attending college part time I took my first position in finance at a local municipality. After a few years I was ready to finish up my degree sooner, and switched to attending school full time and working part time. The part time position I accepted was for a private holding company with multiple subsidiaries. This is where I really broadened my experience. The subsidiaries included multiple rental properties, manufacturing and a consulting company. Looking back I realize this is where my passion for numbers began, and prepared me for becoming a business owner. I had the most wonderful boss who guided me and provided the space for me to grow while completing my bachelors degree in accounting.

After having my kiddo I knew the typical 9-5 job wasn’t going to align with the lifestyle I wanted. I wanted something that allowed for work life balance and a flexible schedule, but I knew I wanted to continue working with numbers. This is where my journey of becoming an entrepreneur began and Numbers By Nikole started.

I have a passion for helping my clients go from being stressed and overwhelmed to excited in truly knowing their numbers. What an awesome transformation to be a part of!

Having one less thing on your to-do list will give you the opportunity to focus on your clients, pitch new sales and grow the business. How great would it be to spend your time on the parts of the business you enjoy.

Have less stress.

No more late nights, spending hours trying to figure out Quickbooks. Bookkeeping is important but so is your time, and google can’t answer everything.

Know your numbers.

Having current and accurate books is the first step to knowing your numbers. Making it possible to make a plan to save for estimated taxes, contribute to retirement or pay yourself on a regular basis (woo hoo!)
