Simple Systems. Straight Answers. Real Support.
Here’s how I work with small businesses:
I speak your language. No buzzwords or financial lectures. Just clear advice.
I’m here year-round. Not just in April when things hit the fan.
I care about your business. I want you to grow, save on taxes, and sleep easier at night.
You don’t need to become an accounting expert. You just need the right partner in your corner.

Working with MaryLee this past year has been wonderful for our small business. As a brand-new business navigating our first year, we faced some challenges and she guided us through every step with patience, clarity, and genuine support.
She alleviated the stress of payroll, year-end preparations, and the specific accounting requirements of our industry. What we appreciate most is that she truly understands the unique needs of a new business. She never makes us feel overwhelmed; instead, she always explains things in a way that’s easy to understand and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure we’re set up for success.
We highly recommend MarlyLee to anyone looking for an accountant who is knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in their clients’ success.
