“I get it. I really do. Not only do you have hundreds of transactions to sort through, or a pile of receipts, or notes in your phone with messy lists of bills; Outwardly queer-friendly accounting representation has remained essentially nonexistent until now. For decades, Eastern Washington’s thriving LGBTQIA+ scene has had no choice but to work with uneducated or ignorant people working in finance who often aren’t able to relate if conversations related to queer culture came up.
Aren’t you tired of feeling like your accountants and bookkeepers don’t really represent you?”
-Brynn Cortez

Security - It goes without saying that your financial information deserves to be handled with care. When you provide your financial documents to a bookkeeper, odds are they will simply store your data on some cloud service. Lucky for you, Brynn provides extraordinary financial security! Not only is your financial data always safely accessible to only Brynn and the client, when you provide offline digital financial documents, your sensitive information is also covered by a highly secure encryption service that simply acts as an additional shield. Physical documents are always securely kept under lock and key, as well. Your unquestionable financial security is crucial!
Humanity - Aside from being Eastern Washington’s first outwardly queer-friendly bookkeeping business, Brynn’s Bookkeeping always strives to remain as AI-free as possible!

What does a typical service engagement look like?
-
For new clients, our first point of contact! For returning clients, our first point of contact for a new service! We discuss what Brynn can do for you, what type of information and what time frame(s) we’re working with, how much work is involved, what software will be used… We’ll cover all our bases, and then, if both parties are ready, we will sign an easy-to-read contract. Time to get started! Note: If services are engaged, you’ll usually need to put down a deposit to show a mutual commitment.
-
Brynn gets to work! During this time, she will block out specific chunks in her calendar, usually hourly, until the requested service is completed. If anything odd comes up or if Brynn has any questions, she will reach out and request an intermittent appointment. And again, any deadlines discussed will always be met! The timeliness of your finances is not something to be taken lightly!
-
Once Brynn’s all done, a final wrap-up appointment between the client and Brynn will take place, going over any concluding thoughts, final words, and the like. Brynn issues a final invoice based on the services provided and receives payment (she’s very flexible!). The job is done! Thank you for working with Brynn’s Bookkeeping!
How much will it cost?
This can be a tricky question, as client needs can vary pretty drastically. For example, one client may want small business finance management, and another may just want one month of a personal individual bank account reconciled. Because each solution is custom-made to the client’s unique needs, it’s not ideal to place a fixed price on anything.
However, please know that, especially as someone who comes from generational poverty, Brynn is very willing to work with you when it comes to paying for her services! If you can’t pay the full final invoice at the time of our wrap-up appointment, we can discuss arranging a payment plan that best fits your financial situation.
