Hey, I’m Jacqui.
After 20+ years in the business welcome to the new age of accounting - where spreadsheets meet real talk, personalized service, and zero judgment. Providing top-tier services without the suit-and-tie attitude, I’m here to help your local business grow with confidence.
My brand needed a glow-up so say hello to the Phoenix! This fiery bird isn’t just for looks - it’s a symbol of how we’re burning down the old, boring ways of accounting and rising up with something bold, fresh, and full of life.
We help our clients balance their lives by offering fast turnaround times, clear financial direction, and clean books. This logo is more than a rebrand - it’s a rebirth.
For every business owner ready to rise with us: we see you. Let’s spark change together!
Balance your books, balance your life.

First you book a Discovery Call or we set up an in person meeting.
No awkward vibes, just a relaxed conversation where we get to know you and your business.
We’ll chat about what you need, I’ll tell you a bit about myself. And yes…we’ll dive into some fun financial questions (trust me - it’s not as scary as it sounds lol)
Then I’ll give you a quote and let you know exactly what I need to get started. Think bank statements, a shared Google Drive, receipts etc. Every service is a little bit different, and we will find the best fit for you. Don’t worry - I walk you through every step of the way.

Pricing is based on many factors:
** number of monthly transactions
** complexity of your industry
** additional reporting requirements
** projects with urgent timelines
** add-on services like payroll
I promise fair rates and will always require your approval before we begin. Once we agree on a monthly rate this includes:
ALL phone calls, meetings, emails - you won’t ever see an extra invoice from Ignite the Books.
We tailor everything to your business - because your books shouldn’t look like anyone else’s.
-
We don’t do contracts here at Ignite the Books. We aim to do such a great job you never even think about going to the other guys!
What we do require is 2 months notice if you decide you no longer want to continue with monthly bookkeeping.
