Hi. I’m Pam, the CEO.

I’m an accounting professional with over 20 years of experience in the accounting industry.

I have played active, impactful roles for a variety of companies in a range of positions from basic bookkeeping to CFO level. I am equipped and ready to jump in at any stage to help make your business the thing it was meant to be.

I’m based in Woodbury, Minnesota, and am proud to service St. Paul, Minneapolis, and the greater Twin Cities metro. I love visiting my clients on site and getting a feel for their place of work in person! And, thanks to the internet, I’m available for my out-of-state clients as well.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a geek. It’s kind of my thing. That’s why I specialize in working with the arts & geek communities and businesses. We get each other. So, whether you’re a comic book store, a tattoo parlor, a circus, or just really, really into Star Wars – get in touch.

Meet the rest of the Balance Team

Jemmalyn (Jem)

Controller

I’m a Certified Public Accountant (Philippines) with over seven years of experience in full-cycle accounting, including bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, accounts receivable and payables, journal entries, and financial reporting. I specialize in U.S-based accounts and am proficient in using accounting software, including QuickBooks Online, Bill.com, and Xero.

When I’m not working, I love traveling with family and friends to discover new places and cultures. I’m also a fan of gaming, especially playing Call of Duty in my free time, and spending time with my furry friends always brightens my day.

Samantha (Sam)

Bookkeeper + AP + HR

Hello, I am Samantha and I’m a bookkeeper who thrives on organization and numbers, with a special love for payables and keeping the books up to date. There’s just something satisfying about everything balancing out and running smoothly, and I enjoy making sure the details are always right.

At home, I enjoy baking, embroidery, and curling up with a good book. I love spending time with my family, whether it’s cheering on my kids at their sports, playing games together, going for bike rides, or exploring and discovering new things. I’ve been enjoying board games like Azul, Catan and Sushi Go, and I’ll always have a soft spot for a good round of Mario Kart.

I like to bring the same curiosity and enthusiasm I have in my personal life into my work, always learning, finding better ways to do things, and enjoying the balance between structure and creativity. And yes, coffee is definitely my fuel!

When I’m not working, I love traveling with family and friends to discover new places and cultures. I’m also a fan of gaming, especially playing Bananagrams and Cribbage in my free time, and spending time with my furry friend Bailey, always brightens my day.

Joan

Receipt Management

I have over 15 years of experience in receipt management for Balance clients. I make sure everything is entered correctly and am proficient in using accounting software, including Xero and Hubdoc.

When I’m not working, I spend time visiting my daughters and grandkids, and traveling. In my free time I love sewing, reading, and watching movies. I play World of Warcraft weekly, and often wish I was sitting on a lake, playing games on my tablet with my terrier, Sweeney.
