We Work Best With Companies That Have Outgrown the Basics

Salt & Sand Bookkeeping primarily serves small & mid-size businesses across all industries, anywhere in the U.S. These are companies whose books have grown too complex for a part-time solution, but who don't necessarily need a full-time in-house hire.

We handle monthly bookkeeping, A/R, A/P, payroll, financial reporting, and book cleanups — all virtually, in QuickBooks Online or Xero.

  • 100% virtual — available to businesses nationwide

  • QuickBooks Online & Xero certified

  • Monthly services plus one-time cleanup and setup engagements

A Different Kind of Bookkeeper

Most bookkeepers know numbers. Shannon Gemberling knows systems.

After 25 years in information technology consulting — managing complex operations, streamlining processes, and making order out of chaos for large organizations — Shannon launched Salt & Sand Bookkeeping to bring that same operational rigor to your finances.

The result? Books that don't just balance — they give you a clear picture of where your business stands, where it's going, and what decisions you can make with confidence.
