Meet Annette

Hi, I’m Annette Clarabut, the proud owner of Tidy Bookkeeper. With extensive education and hands-on experience in accounting and QuickBooks, I bring practical knowledge and proven skills to support my clients’ financial success. My years of real estate investing and entrepreneurship have given me firsthand experience in managing finances, solving problems, and staying organized—all of which I now bring to the work I do for my clients.

I’m passionate about empowering small businesses, especially those owned by women. Helping women take control of their finances isn’t just about balancing the books; it’s about creating opportunities for independence, growth, and generational wealth. When women succeed financially, their families and entire communities thrive. Women are amazing, and I’m here to cheer them on every step of the way!

Outside of work, I love getting outdoors for hikes, city walks, and horseback riding (English style, of course). At home, you’ll often find me fixing up my house, experimenting with furniture-making, or enjoying a good book over a great cup of coffee. I’m a hands-on kind of person and a handywoman at heart—always finding joy in building, creating, and solving problems.

You can buy the cheap option, but I wouldn’t recommend it. There IS a difference.

OUR VALUES

Integrity

We value integrity over money. If you want your books handled with professionalism and honesty, you’re in the right place!

Truth

It is important you work with someone you can trust - especially when it comes to your finances.

You can trust we will bring you the truth, always. Especially when it is hard.

I’m on a mission

to tidy up ALL the books!

I want to help women and nonprofits run and grow their businesses. I want to be your biz bestie and provide excellent advice. I know firsthand that running a successful business requires a lot of specialized skills. Bookkeeping shouldn’t be one of those skills you spend a ton of time to learn. It is the first thing that should be outsourced, in my opinion.
