Hi, I’m Federica, Founder and CEO of QuarterMaster Bookkeeping LLC

I’m so glad you found us, I hope we can be your partner on your financial journey – or help you find the right fit if it’s not us! QuarterMaster was born after I realized that my background in Crisis Work, Social Services, and Complex Case Management, was not only relevant to finance – it was critical, allowing me to fill a gap in services.

I would hear variations of the same refrain from business owners across industries:

“my bookkeeper/accountant doesn’t talk to me”

“I don’t understand my numbers but I can’t hire someone full time”

and “can’t you just do it?”

---

It became clear that small business needed more support than they were often getting, needing:

– Someone to make information accessible and relevant to their business operations. To explain and interpret data and help them create a strategy rather than just make sure they were compliant and then leaving it at that.

-Someone to take into consideration the psycho-emotional relationship we all have to money and how it shows up in our behaviors and decisions. You can have the best team in the world but the owner of a small business is like the captain of a ship and if the captain is reactive instead of proactive, avoiding their numbers, acting on autopilot instead of with intention and strategy – the ship isn’t sound, no matter how good your crew is.

This kind of absenteeism and lack of access to quality financial literacy leaves folks incredibly vulnerable to fraud or incompetence, and people deserve better. I want to empower my clients so that they hire me because the want an ally/partner to support them, not because the information is so confusing that they need me. No one needs to be an expert but I think that if my clients can’t look in their books and have general understanding of what’s going on – then I am not doing my job.

I am looking to bridge the practical, logistical, analytical, and psycho-emotional dimensions of finance to give small business owners the robust support they deserve to truly thrive. I believe that small businesses/entrepreneurship can be the way to financial independence and freedom for so many, and when these businesses thrive it ripples out so that many families and communities flourish.
