When KOLE MADE reached a time of needing a bookkeeper, it was a stressful thought to find someone trustworthy to see and handle sensitive business information. Fortunately, Ainsley was recommended to us from a trusted source and we had an instant connection.

Ainsley is extremely professional, very trustworthy, highly organized and reliable. She has gone above and beyond her duties as our bookkeeper and has helped us greatly through the pandemic year with filing for the Payroll Protection Program. Her organizational skills have greatly contributed to our success in stressful times.

Having her as part of our team has made us a better company, with constantly updated reports helping us make smart decisions in business growth. She brings a sense of security during times when KOLE needs the most support. We highly recommend and trust Ainsley with our precious company finances and look forward to continued growth together.

We have been working with Ainsley for over two years now, and I don’t think our company would have had the ability to grow the way it did without her expert help with Quickbooks and knowledge in reconciling in general.

Ainsley gives you that feeling of trust that only your mom can give. I am not sure how she does it but I am glad she does. There is never a moment of doubt when working with her and the last thing I need to be worrying about is the books.

She has gone above and beyond with us to make sure we are always on the right track, maximizing profits, keeping the government at bay and giving me the ability to sleep at night. I truly couldn’t imagine not having her around, she has become an invaluable asset to us and I can’t help but refer her to everyone in our network.

I promise you if you have a consultation call with her you will be sold the second the wisdom starts flowing.

Ainsley has been an incredible asset to my small business. She works seamlessly with my accountant (who also loves her) and keeps my books impeccably organized. She’s great at setting up systems that leave you more time to do the million other things you need to do.

Ainsley is endlessly patient - as we switched over to a new POS/Inventory system, she wrangled cats with three companies for months to get me fully integrated into quickbooks. I’m very thankful to have Cleanbooks for Creatives on my team!

The value we got from bringing Ainsley in to be our part of our team was literally instantaneous.

We saw the consistency in our billing process within the first few days and it only got better from there. Enhanced communication with clients, consistency in our cash flow, and more accurate numbers and metrics were seen in the first few weeks. It was incredibly validating.

The value is incalculable (well, Ainsley could probably calculate it. ...)

The amount of passion that Ainsley shows for bookkeeping is frightening. As someone who has a fear of all things money, I can’t comprehend how she loves it so much. Yet, somehow she has managed to transform not only how I think about my books, from something to be afraid, to a tool for growth.

She’s also a DELIGHT to work with. She has my utmost respect and gratitude and I know that I can trust her to do what’s right and lead me in the right direction for my business. She is an angel of the highest order and you’re dumb if you don’t hire her.

We have had quite a few bookkeepers over the years and left every one because we were dissatisfied for one reason or another. Ainsley is by far the most professional, reliable, and easy to work with. She goes above and beyond what previous bookkeepers have done.

She provides great value and has literally saved us thousands of dollars. Hiring Cleanbooks for Creatives was worth every penny.

Long story short, she does great work, makes our lives easier, and is a pleasure to work with. What else could you ask for?

As a busy entrepreneur, my time and energy is spent growing my business and managing my team while my books get dusty from neglect.

Ainsley has been a godsend! She cleaned up my books and maintains them each month, as well as provides easy-to-read reports that give me a high level snapshot of my company’s financial health. I would be lost in a dark Quickbooks hole without Ainsley - highly recommend her for any small business!

Working with Ainsley is always a joy. She’s very quick and responsive, knows the latest when it comes to tools and standards for bookkeeping, and always makes sure we meet our goals.

I would caution business owners on working with anyone but Ainsley, this is the type of field where you need someone trustworthy, accountable, and who knows their stuff. At the very least, have a conversation with her and you will immediately know the right choice.

Ainsley is the best! My books were a total mess when I came to her, and she was able to get me up and running in no time. Now I have a clear picture of where my business stands, and the peace of mind knowing that the numbers are accurate.

10/10 would recommend her.

If you’re even remotely thinking about working with a bookkeeper for your small business- just do it. Having your accounts reconciled and up-to-date each month is a great feeling and frees up your time to focus on growing the business. Being able to pull accurate reports is extremely important- for a potential biz sale, loan or grant application, tax season, etc. Ainsley is professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. I cannot imagine using anyone else to keep my books clean.

We had the opportunity to work with Ainsley and Cleanbooks for Creatives recently and I’m SO glad that we did. She was incredibly thorough and quick, and found solutions for issues within our books that we didn’t even know were issues! So grateful for the work she did - our business is able to run much smoother now!
— Matt Tanaka, Founder & Creative Director, Stout Collective (stoutcollective.com)
Cleanbooks for Creatives really impressed me with their customer-centric focus. Ainsley personalized guidance in setting up our Quickbooks and the subsequent training exceeded our expectations. Schooley Mitchell will continue to refer Ainsley to our clients as I know they will be in great hands.

I may be a little biased since Ainsley is my sister, but I’m writing this with my business owner hat on. My business would not be where it is today financially without the help of Cleanbooks for Creatives. I can’t describe the weight taken off my shoulders knowing that my books and finances are in order because Ainsley is managing them.

When I meet with my accountant when tax time comes, they are always in awe of how organized my books are! This turns what is typically hours of tax prep time into just an hour of plugging in numbers and signing forms. Having my books in order allows me to check my current business finances at any moment knowing they are fully up to date.

Ainsley also spends time educating you on how to understand your books so you can easily see where you should focus on growing and investing in your business and where you should save and cut back. That alone has been worth its weight in gold.

She will get to know you and your business personally so she can help recommend solutions that are tailored to you. Bottom line, when she’s on board she is not just your bookkeeper, she’s your business consultant and is fully invested in your business and brand.
