    We believe in efficiency & systems, so we're passionate about setting all of our clients up on Quickbooks Online.

Heidi founded Grassroots Finance to deliver high-end quality accounting and advisory services to growing companies. Through hard work, a love of the latest technology, and her inquisitive nature, she values getting to the root of an issue.

Prior to founding Grassroots Finance, she worked as an Accounting Manager for a small accounting firm that specialized in providing accounting support to companies from a variety of industries including professional services, real estate, e-commerce, and retail. She loves to work with small business owners to find their pain points and work through an effective resolution.

Heidi graduated from Michigan State University with a B.A. in Accounting and earned her CPA license in 2001. She began her career as an auditor for Ernst & Young, which provided a solid foundation in proper technical accounting, sound internal control development as well as drummed a spirit of curiosity. After leaving public accounting, she ventured into the world of commercial real estate as a Controller working for a boutique asset management firm in San Francisco, California. After missing her family too much, she moved back to Michigan to work for a privately held $14B dollar food distribution company and became the Controller for a privately held REIT.
