Numbers are my passion.
Nonprofits are my purpose.

Lucy — Owner & Bookkeeper

With a B.S. and M.S. in Mathematics — plus plenty of accounting courses along the way — I've always been a numbers girl through and through. Math was never just a subject for me; it was a language I genuinely loved. Teaching it for years only deepened that passion. Over more than five years of hands-on bookkeeping experience, I extensively studied the uniqueness of nonprofit accounting — and that deep focus is what made this my niche!

As I approached retirement from the classroom, I knew I wanted to channel that love of numbers into something meaningful. Bookkeeping — specifically for nonprofits — turned out to be the perfect fit. Nonprofits do extraordinary work, and they deserve financial clarity that matches their mission.

I founded Prevailing Grace Bookkeeping to serve organizations that are changing lives — churches, community groups, social service agencies, and more. Every reconciliation, every grant report, every Form 990 I prepare is one less burden on the people doing that important work.

“I'm a numbers girl through and through — and I believe every nonprofit deserves books as strong as their mission.”

What sets Prevailing Grace apart is simple: I only work with nonprofits. That focus means I understand the nuances of fund accounting, restricted grants, and IRS Form 990 requirements — not as an afterthought, but as the core of everything I do.

And just like in the classroom, I believe in clear communication. You should always understand your own financial picture — no jargon, no black boxes. Just clean, accurate books and reports you can actually use.
