Hi, I'm RJ

I've spent 12+ years keeping small business books in shape.

I'm RJ Shoemaker — a Certified Intuit ProAdvisor Elite with more than 12 years of experience helping small business owners get their books (and their confidence) back on track. I started Full Boat Bookkeeping because I genuinely love this work and I've seen what a difference clean, organized books make for a business owner's stress level.

For the past 8 years, I've built a 5-star reputation on Upwork with more than 5,000 hours of bookkeeping work delivered to clients across the country. When you work with me, you get top-tier credentials, honest communication, and the kind of dependable, hands-on service most firms have stopped offering.
