Experience You Can Trust

I'm Karen Watson, a registered CPA with 25 years of experience in financial oversight. My career began with 10 years of auditing for large banks in Maryland followed by 5 years managing HUD operations for a small business.

Over the past decade I have focused on providing bookkeeping and tax services specifically for individuals and small businesses on the East Coast including Maryland, North Carolina, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. My mission is simple: to handle the complexities of your ledger so you can focus on the passion that drives your business. Whether you need a one time clean-up or ongoing monthly support, I provide the expert "second set of eyes" your finances deserve, backed by a quarter-century of knowing exactly where to look.
