Accurate books. Actionable Insights. Bookkeeping you can build on.
Serving Northern Nevada - Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Tahoe, Elko
We help business owners stay informed and make decisions with confidence.
When something doesn’t look right, we work to identify it early, while the details are still fresh and there is time to act. By resolving issues, improving workflows, and maintaining reliable financial records, we help business owners make informed decisions and prepare for tax time with reliable financial information.
Bookkeeping That Goes Beyond Data Entry
Bookkeeping is about more than recording income and expenses.
It’s about understanding what the numbers are telling you, identifying issues while the information is still fresh, and reviewing your books regularly so questions can be addressed before they pile up.
Whether it’s missing documentation, a sales tax question, an unusual transaction, or a reporting concern, my goal is to identify issues early, move them toward resolution quickly, and build practical processes that make future bookkeeping easier.
“I hired Julie and this tax season, 2024, my accountant was a happy camper because Julie is a wonderful communicator and bookkeeper and has made my life and my accountant’s much easier! 😊”

Wayne Vander Wal
In 2023, after filing my taxes, my accountant recommended Julie at Lawley Bookkeeping to help me get my books in better order. Having a business in one state and working in two different states was more complicated than I thought. I hired Julie and this tax season, 2024, my accountant was a happy camper because Julie is a wonderful communicator and bookkeeper and has made my life and my accountant’s much easier! 😊

I have utilized Julie’s knowledge and experience over the years as an independent contractor, self employed and parent to a college student. Julie goes above and beyond to help, even with general tax questions and guidance. I personally love my calculator because working with numbers does not bring me joy however a calculator can only do so much. This is where Julie shines. I highly recommend her for your bookkeeping and accounting needs when you need to focus on your own set of skills. She really knows her stuff. Don’t go it alone.
