Hi! I’m Mary Ellen
................
While I love my bookkeeping business, what I really love is being outside. Hiking is the constant, the thing I keep coming back to no matter the season. But my love of the outdoors doesn't stop on dry land. I grew up on the water, at my family’s cabin on a beautiful Idaho lake. Back then I loved the thrill of water skiing and the independence of taking the boat out with my siblings or friends. Today I live on a river, where floating a calm stretch while my husband fishes is my favorite day date. Whatever the activity, what really drives me is exploring: going new places, staying in motion, and seeing what's around the next bend.
After 25 years in bookkeeping and accounting, I built Natural Accountant around that love, working exclusively with outdoor and travel operators. I bring decades of financial experience to a niche I'm genuinely part of, not just serving.
