Less stress, more support. Promise.
You're doing something pretty amazing. You're growing your own business and doing the dang thing! But also, it's hard (we totally get that). The counting, the spreadsheets, the tax laws...it can feel a little overwhelming. That's where we come in, we're here to help with the "numbers stuff" so you can get back to doing what you do best!
Where Our Story Meets Yours
Pretty Penny began in a parked car during a lunch break- heart pounding, proposal in hand, and a spark of something big. What started as one person wearing all the hats (sounds familiar, huh?) has grown into a full team of 25, supporting hundreds of business owners with bookkeeping, tax help, and financial clarity. Our merger with Patton Accounting marked a major milestone, letting us expand our services into taxes so we can walk side-by-side with you in every season of your business.
We believe money doesn’t have to be scary...it deserves compassion, strategy, and joy. Pretty Penny is more than a financial services firm (that's too stuffy for us). We’re a trusted place for entrepreneurs to feel confident, seen, and capable, celebrating every small win and big milestone together.


"You are seriously THE GREATEST!! I really love working with you and am so grateful to have you on MY TEAM!!
Where can I send my 5-STAR review??"
