To the Tradespeople Who Build Our World

You rise early. Work through heat, rain, cold, and chaos. You solve problems with your hands, your tools, and your mind.


You’re the reason homes stay warm, roofs stay solid, lights turn on, and walls stand strong.


You don’t just build things—you build trust, safety, and a better life for others.


Whether you’re on a ladder, underground, or knee-deep in concrete—you deserve respect.

So here’s a huge thank you to every contractor, plumber, roofer, electrician, and hard-working crew out there. Your effort matters, and we see you.


And when you’re ready for a bookkeeper who works as hard as you do — who understands your world and respects your time — I’m here to help.

Still dealing with This?

  • Receipts still MIA in the glove box or backseat?
  • Not sure if your last job made you money — or cost you?
  • Quoting jobs but forgetting to charge for your tools (even the hammer)?
  • Losing evenings to paperwork instead kicking back with a cold one.
  • Mixing business and personal in the same bank account…. again?
  • Avoid tax time like it’s your ex.
  • Swiping the business card and thinking, “I’ll sort it out later”?
  • Logging miles in your head instead of an app?
  • Wondering where all the cash went—but not sure where to start?
  • Telling yourself this winter you'll finally get it organized.


If this sounds familiar, it’s time to stop flying blind—and start taking control of your numbers.

  • Desk cluttered with papers, coffee cup, computer, and phone, likely in an office setting.

Why Work With Me

I’m Anna, founder of AAG Wise Bookkeeping — and I’ve been in your boots.

With over 20 years of business ownership under my belt, I understand firsthand the long days, the late nights, and the paperwork that somehow never stops piling up. For 15 of those years, I was also the in-house bookkeeper for my own businesses, which means I’ve lived on both sides: running the jobs and wrestling with the numbers


I know what it’s like to feel the pressure at tax time when things haven’t been kept up monthly — trying to remember what that charge from six months ago was for or realizing too late that you missed out on deductions. That’s why I now help contractors like you stay organized, stay on top of your numbers, and stop leaving money on the table.


I’m a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and have completed the QuickBooks Online Contractor Certification — so you’re in experienced, capable hands. My goal is simple: to make your bookkeeping effortless, so you can focus on building the business you love.

Before We Begin: Free Diagnostics.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need to track income and expenses by job?

    Yes— this helps you know which jobs actually made you money and which ones just kept you busy. Without it, you are guessing.

  • What if I'm behind on receipts and bookkeeping?

    No problem. I work with a lot of contractors who are playing catch- up. We'll get you organized without the stress or judgment.

  • Can you help me separate business and personal expenses?

    Yes. I'll help you clean things up and show you a simple system going forward so you never have to untangle that mess again.

  • How do I send you receipts or invoices?

    Just snap a photo with your phone and send it to me. I'll handle the rest.

  • Do I have to use QuickBooks Online?

    QuickBooks Online is what I specialize in—and it works really well for contractors. If you are not set up yet, I can help you.

  • What if I don't know how much to charge for overhead like tools, insurance and admin time?

    I'll help you calculate it and build it into your pricing—so you stop paying out of your own pocket.

  • What does this cost?

    We'll talk about your needs first, but most clients are surprised how affordable it is—especially compared to what they save on taxes and missed write-offs.
