Welcome, CosmoLex clients!

Janelle’s goal when she earned her Accounting Degree was to be able to work from home so she can take care of her kids. Fifteen years after earning her accounting degree she has achieved that goal. She worked for a law firm in the Salt Lake Valley for four years before joining Backyard Bookkeeper. She enjoys the black and white of numbers and the flexibility of accounting.

Abigail has always loved the balance of numbers. The fact that 2+2=4 just makes sense! Her love for accounting continued as she worked to receive her Bachelors degree in accounting from Dixie State University. She loves helping small businesses do more of what they love by keeping the books organized and accurate. She has gained valuable experience assisting in the accounting departments for law firms, financial firms, and other family-owned businesses. When she isn’t creating spreadsheets on Excel, she is spending time with family and enjoying delicious food.

Jess, Office Manager, Customer Service, Tech Support, and Super Hero. She likes doing things well and making sure everyone she is in contact with feels happier when they leave. Her background includes teaching technology, running an office, bookkeeping, and protecting the world from evil one happy moment at a time.

Breanna has been a “super organizer” her whole life, always looking for new ways to clear out clutter and make things more efficient. This applies to her love of numbers as well, which led to a degree in accounting, and 14 years doing bookkeeping and taxes. She gets a little excited when an account doesn’t reconcile, because it means she gets to do a little detective work and solve the mystery!

In her spare time, you will find Breanna doing something with her family, reading, running, or being crafty and creative. She’s constantly finding new skills to add to her belt, from crocheting to cake decorating, and loves learning new things, no matter the subject.

Julie is an experienced bookkeeper and accountant. Since the founding of Backyard Bookkeeper in 2008, she has worked with over 250 different companies in a wide variety of industries, including construction, nonprofit, health care, consulting, retail sales, online sales, legal, entertainment, real estate, and many more.

Julie also does most of the actual number crunching for the business and would rather play on Quickbooks than Facebook. She has a weakness for superhero movies, Rachmaninov, and chocolate, and loves reading in her spare time.
