get to know me.

Hello from Bothell, Washington, where the coffee’s strong and the bookkeeper’s not afraid to mix a little fantasy with the finances! I’m Candice, head of For The Love of Bookkeepers LLC, and your expert in turning QuickBooks chaos into clear, organized narratives—no matter where you are in the USA.

Let’s dive into your financial story and make it as compelling as your favorite page-turner. Ready to bring some clarity (and maybe a little fun) to your bookkeeping? Let’s chat and make your business finances something to rave about!
01.
A Reader's wORLD
I devour books like I do balance sheets, from the epic adventures of Drizzt Do’Urden by R.A. Salvatore to the seductive shadows in Laurell K. Hamilton’s novels. And yes, when I’m not unraveling financial puzzles, I’m probably nose-deep in some deliciously smutty tales. My love for all things fantastical and slightly forbidden keeps my imagination as sharp as my ledger skills.
02.
lOVE & LAUGHTER
My heart’s biggest win? Meeting my husband in a bar over a game of pool—he had the balls; I had the shots. Six months later, we were hitched. Fast forward 19 years and he’s still the cool winter to my endless summer, the cozy snowstorm when I’m all about that beach life. Following him to the PNW meant trading bikinis for beanies, but hey, opposites attract, right?

03.

uniquely different

Ever felt like the vibrant splash of color in a sea of grey suits? That’s me in the accounting world. Picture the quirky lab expert from NCIS—brilliant, a bit unconventional, and absolutely indispensable. My colleagues might have raised an eyebrow or two at my laid-back style and offbeat humor, but like her, I bring my own brand of brilliance to the numbers game.

04.

YOUR FINANCIAL TRIBE
Here at FTLOBs, it’s not just about getting your books to behave; it’s about creating a space where you can be unapologetically you. Whether you’re rocking out to vampires and werewolves or getting down to the nitty-gritty of your net assets, I’m here to support you with expertise, empathy, and maybe a little bit of edge.
