From Lisa Hatcher, Founder and Principal

The path God takes you on isn’t always clear at the time...I believe I was on a path that God brought me to doing bookkeeping at this time.

My career began in Information Technology, working in computer operations with large mainframe systems. During overnight shifts, boredom led me to start coding programs for fun, which eventually resulted in a promotion to computer programmer. That role provided a strong foundation in software development, database design, and system integration.

Managing IT projects further deepened my understanding of dependencies, task lists, and resource allocation. Experience as a loan originator introduced me to settlement statements, loans, escrows, taxes, insurance, and the complexities of real estate. Later, working in employee benefits sales expanded my knowledge of payroll, pre- and post-tax deductions, and employer tax responsibilities.

Since 2005, running my own business has given me firsthand experience in wearing multiple hats, analyzing balance sheets, and understanding income statements. Leading a chamber of commerce also provided insight into managing a volunteer organization. Every step along this path has been preparation—equipping me to help business owners understand their financials and use them as a tool to run their businesses more effectively.

This is to help them create a business that serves them to do God’s work.
