Who we are

At Gilbert Ledger Co., we believe bookkeeping should be more than just balancing the numbers; it should give you peace of mind and a clear picture of your business’s financial health.

My name is Marisa Gilbert, and I am the founder of Gilbert Ledger Co. As a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with over six years of experience in corporate and public accounting, I’ve managed complex financial reporting, auditing, and fund accounting for organizations of all sizes. Along the way, I saw how small business owners often struggled to find the same level of accuracy, organization, and support that larger companies take for granted.

I started Gilbert Ledger Co. to bring professional, reliable bookkeeping services to entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners who want to focus on running their businesses instead of stressing over their books.

MY APPROACH

I work closely with each client to create a customized bookkeeping solution that fits their needs. Whether you need ongoing monthly support or help catching up and cleaning up your books, my goal is to simplify your finances, keep you compliant, and provide clear insights so you can make better business decisions.

WHY WORK WITH ME

  • CPA Expertise: Backed by a strong accounting foundation and professional certification.

  • Attention to Detail: I treat your books with the same precision I would for a Fortune 500 client.

  • Personal Service: You’ll always work directly with me and not passed off to an assistant or junior staff.

  • Stress-Free Experience: I handle the numbers so you can get back to doing what you do best - running your business.

At Gilbert Ledger Co., you’re not just another client, you’re a partner. My mission is to help your business thrive by giving you financial clarity and confidence.
