What does she love most about her job?

Around here, Rilee’s nickname is the Clean-up Queen, because she loves taking messy or incomplete books and turning them into something clean, accurate, and usable. She also enjoys working with startups and new business owners, as it gives her the opportunity to train clients and help them understand what’s happening in their accounting, even if they are not the ones doing the day‑to‑day work.

When Rilee’s not at work…

You’ll find her spending time with her husband and two kids, camping as often as possible from late spring through early fall – always in a tent! She is a firm believer that tent camping is the only real kind of camping. Rilee also enjoys baking, crocheting, cleaning, reading, and consuming impressive quantities of coffee. Fun fact: Rilee orders mac & cheese every meal out if it’s on the menu, no matter how fancy the restaurant.
