the powerhouse behind tidy books

Ana Ledo, Founder & CEO Extraordinaire!

As a Certified Professional Bookkeeper (CPB), and with over thirteen years of experience she’s your go-to ally for handling the books while you chase your passions!

Tech enthusiast, empathetic listener, and unconventional bookkeeper rolled into one. With an affinity for numbers and a knack for making them make sense, she’s all about transforming overwhelm into financial clarity.
