Portrait of Debora Tan
The Owner

Meet Debora.

My name is Debora and I’m a bookkeeper based in Arvada, Colorado.

My background started in administrative work and I’ve been in that line for about ten years now between various industries — non-profit, IT, education, real estate and marketing. I enjoy the “paperwork” aspect of admin work and being detailed is in my nature. I love working with data, and since bookkeeping is a combination of the two skills, I decided to expand my skillset.

Originally from Singapore, I spent half my childhood in Thailand and moved back to Singapore to finish my studies. I moved to Colorado in 2015 and I currently live in Arvada.

Testimonials

What clients say.

Small business owners across Colorado who traded the spreadsheet stress for books that just work.

Debora turned two years of chaos into a set of books I actually understand. I sleep better on Sundays now.
