Our Story
For the past 18 years I have worked in the accounting realm in different industries building my tool belt with all the necessary tools to be able to open Maple Arrow Accounting. A few industries I have worked in are Mortgage Servicing, Construction, Restaurant, Hotel and Spa. I look forward to adding more!
Outside of crunching numbers I enjoy spending time with my 13-year-old son, 17-year-old Shih-Tzu and 7-year-old Chocolate Lab. We enjoy spending time outside especially anything involving water, hiking or with farm animals. A few of my favorites: build DIY craft projects, trying new foods and Hallmark movies.
