About me
Hi, my name is Cheryl Lanahan!
I'm the founder of PlumbBooks. We are dedicated to providing meaningful, accurate,
and on-time custom reporting so that decision makers understand their financial position and can make informed money moves.
Our goal is to have a business where people love to work, clients are wowed with our services, and providing value is #1. PlumbBooks has helped clients grow their businesses, adjust their spending so that they are more profitable, and feel completely at peace that their books are in great shape.
When I'm not working, I spend time with other business owners travelling, networking, and mastermind-ing.
We Work with Your Software
We understand how third-party softwares connect to QBO, and the issues this can cause. We are here to watch for errors and keep the data flowing properly.
My Story
I started out working for a plumber in 2017 as his only office person. I learned a lot! Soon after, I moved to another state, but continued to keep their books. I went to school for bookkeeping, found more plumbing clients, and dove head first into getting them the information they wanted out of their books.
Now, years later, we have worked with many clients and many software connections. We truly understand what home service providers need to know about their financials, and we provide it. We know the issues with connected software, and how to solve the problems. Not only that, the community of home service providers is one that I love, and I am so honored to serve them.
