What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
Caring for others has always been who I am, and in bookkeeping I found a way to keep doing that while building something of my own. It challenges me, teaches me something new, and lets me meet people I'd never otherwise cross paths with. I get to use a skill I genuinely love to ease a real burden for business owners — the stress and overwhelm of the financial side — while providing for my own family. Helping someone go from dreading their books to feeling in control never gets old.
Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
Do you have a clear picture of your business financials from month to month, week to week, or even daily?
Do you know if you're able to make a big purchase for your business?
Do you always know how much cash you actually have available — and whether it's safe to pay yourself or make that next big move?
Unique Selling Proposition
A detail-obsessed, certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor who treats your books like I treat my own household's — accurately, reliably, and without judgment. I specialize in cleanups and the "puzzle-solving" work most bookkeepers avoid, and I turn messy, behind books into clean numbers you can actually make decisions with.
About me
I'm Heather Colon, owner of Busy Balanced Books. I've been the type to track every dollar in a spreadsheet since I was a young adult — long before I knew it had a name. I studied early childhood education and spent years as a preschool teacher, then became a stay-at-home parent, managing our family's home and finances while raising three children alongside my husband, who serves in law enforcement. When I was ready to build something of my own, bookkeeping was the natural fit — it's what I'd been doing informally for as long as I can remember. Today I'm a certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor specializing in cleanups and monthly bookkeeping for small, service-based businesses, and I bring that same organized, detail-first, caring approach to every client's books. When I'm not reconciling accounts, I'm usually with my family or focused on health and wellness — the same balance I try to bring to my clients' businesses.
Outside of work, you'll usually find me with a good book, on a walk, or at the beach whenever I can get there. I love a cozy movie night and any excuse to spend time with friends and family — I'm the one who loves making holidays and celebrations feel special. I'm also a lifelong puzzle-solver and always up for learning something new, which might explain why I enjoy the "puzzle" side of bookkeeping so much.
