Your Business is Growing.
Your Finances Should Reflect That.

We help business owners finally trust their numbers and lead with confidence.

You didn't start your business to feel stressed about money.

Why We Exist

Running a business is hard enough. Your finances shouldn’t make it harder.

Entrepreneurs are 2 times more likely to suffer from mental health problems than non-business owners. We exist to walk side by side with owners to protect their entrepreneurial journey and their mental health because as an entrepreneur, financial stability is self care.

We combine expert accounting with compassionate advisory so you can get organized, get motivated, and get back to what matters most—your mission, your clients, and your life.

If you have money in your pocket, sock drawer, or bank account you NEED a good accountant. Look NO further, Step by Step Accounting has been the best addition I could have ever added to my businesses. The detail, dedication, and commitment Melissa and her team put into their work is top notch! I can rest easy knowing my books are balanced and come tax time my tax accountant has a polished file to work from!

Dee Decimus Holmes

We have worked closely with Step By Step Accounting since we started our small business about 6 years ago. They have been instrumental in guiding the financial aspects of our LLC. We primarily work with Vicki who is so quick to answer my many questions. She is always offering explaination when I don't understand and asks clarifying questions when they are needed. I SO appreciate the professionalism, approachability and thoroughness of all on the team! Everyone we have worked with from Step By Step has been great!
