Meet Sarah
Your books, a little less overwhelming.
Hi, I’m Sarah - the bookkeeper behind BookSmart by Sarah.
I help small businesses in Chatham-Kent and beyond get organized, stay on top of their numbers, and feel more confident about their finances.
Whether you need ongoing bookkeeping or a little help getting caught up, I'm here to make the numbers side of business feel a whole lot easier.
Why I Started BookSmart by Sarah
Before bookkeeping, I spent 16 years in healthcare. That work taught me the importance of listening, staying calm under pressure, and helping people feel supported when things get overwhelming.
When I made the switch to bookkeeping, I met so many business owners who were stressed about their books. Some were months behind. Others weren't sure they were doing it right. Most were simply too busy running their businesses to keep up with everything.
They didn't need judgement or a lecture. They needed someone in their corner.
That's why I created BookSmart by Sarah - to give small business owners support, clarity, and peace of mind they deserve.
My Approach
No two businesses are the same, and your bookkeeping shouldn't be either.
Some clients hand everything over to me, while others prefer to handle certain things themselves and call me when they need a hand. Either way, we'll find an approach that works for you.
I take the time to understand your business, explain things in plain English, and keep your books accurate, up to date, and organized - without making you feel bad about where you're starting.
No judgement. No unnecessary jargon. Just bookkeeping that works for you.

A Little Outside of Work
When I'm not in the books, I'm spending time with my family, caring for my ever-growing collection of plants, or supporting other small businesses in our community.
And if you visit my office, don't be surprised if one of my four-legged office helpers stops by to say hello. I take my work seriously, but I don't believe bookkeeping has to feel stuffy or intimidating.
