Our Story

Tie-Out Bookkeeping was born from experience, resilience, and the decision to do things differently.

After a decade supporting businesses—from startups to shutdowns, from Oregon to South Carolina—we saw the cost of chaos and the power of clarity. With hands-on learning, deep industry exposure, and a moment of much-needed honesty about burnout, we built Tie-Out to be a calm, structured alternative for small business owners.

We’ve lived the mess. Now, we help clean it up—with systems that support people, not pressure them.
