Meet your business’ new favorite finance team.

We’re not here to just categorize your transactions.

We’re here to assist you in creating a holistic approach to your business finances.

Here’s what makes our founder, Jennie, different from every other bookkeeper and CFO out there…

I've got a thing for CrossFit, kombucha, and making small business finances actually easy to understand. 

My secret sauce is I get to know the person behind the business before I dive into working on your financial clean up or monthly financial support service. That personal connection is vital to my ability to customize our services to your needs.

The truth is most bookkeepers and CFOs don’t stop to recognize the patterns in your spending, or to fully understand your deeper business and life goals. I’d rather take the time to build a strong understanding of your motivations with your business and its finances before I help you set up systems to be intentional with your funds – so you can achieve your goals with confidence and clarity.

That’s why as a bookkeeper and CFO, I’m all about making daily financial management easier by meeting with you regularly, offering advice on financial decisions, and installing systems that make tax prep a breeze. 

I don’t want you to feel anxious about your spending or your profits. I want you to feel like you fully understand what’s going on, and what it’s going to take to be more profitable in your business.

How’d we get here, you ask?

Before I was a bookkeeper, I was a birth and postpartum doula

After dabbling as a birth and postpartum doula for a couple years right out of college, I was longing for the order and balance of numbers and accounting. It's what I went to school for after all! 

But in the back of my mind, I knew I wanted to support small business owners to feel confident about managing the money they made.

Now, I’m finishing my CFO certification and it fills my heart with joy to be able to offer more strategic advice alongside monthly bookkeeping services to service providers like you.

Meet the Team

  • Partner

    Garrett Stowe, MPT is a seasoned business owner with 13 years of experience in creating and operating successful startups. With a background in creating business systems and procedures he has built and sold multiple businesses. He currently owns two businesses as well as serving as partner in Balanced Breeze.

    Gravel bikes, CrossFit, and ornamental gardening are some of Garrett’s favorite pastimes. Before meeting Jennie, he dabbled as a concert musician and still maintains a few music students to keep a foot in the music world. Garrett is equally happy enjoying a quiet weekend working in the garden or traveling the world … so long it’s done hand-in-hand with Jennie.

  • Bookkeeper

    Nakina Roberts, CB is a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and holds a Masters degree in finance from Texas A&M. Prior to becoming one of the primary bookkeepers at Balanced Breeze, she spent 5 years in the classroom teaching 6th math, science and ESL.

    A lifelong Texan, Nikina loves her some good tex-mex and lives for time spent with family (preferably on a beach!). The ocean is her happy place and she would gladly spend her life waking up to the sound of breaking waves. When not working as a mother of a rambunctious 4 year old son, she enjoys fitness, puzzles, and math (😂).

Favorite Things

Jennie’s 

  • I love one on one conversations but hate public speaking

  • When I met my now-husband he couldn't believe that I did math for fun in the evenings.

  • According to the Harry Potter quizzes, I would belong to the Hufflepuff house … not bad considering their cardinal traits were, “justice,loyalty, patience, and a propensity for hard work.”

  • I’m happiest when numbers add up correctly, I have time for a CrossFit workout, and my sourdough bread comes out of the oven with a perfect crust.

You should be able to see your growth.

“Jennie has been exactly what my business was missing. As a successful high end coach, I had 3-4 bookkeepers before Jennie and none of them were able to match my brand of excellence and high quality work like Jennie has. She is lovely to work with, very timely, and does exactly what she says she'll do in the timeframe she promises. Jennie was able to help me unravel the mess left by previous bookkeepers and I couldn't be more thrilled with her work. She's very patient with my questions and is flexible to work with. I highly recommend Jennie to any other coaches or business consultants who want a high level of quality in tending to their finances.”
