Thoughtful bookkeeping and strategic oversight for designers, copywriters, and creative founders who want their money handled beautifully.
I’m Lika (Lee-kah), your friendly neighborhood bookkeeper and fractional CFO.
I help creative founders build businesses with clean books, steady structure, and financial systems that actually support the life they’re working hard to create.
But you can call me Leeks!
hi!
maybe you've...
You already know how to design, write, sell, and deliver exceptional work.
But when it comes to your numbers, things can feel… heavier.
wondered if you could afford something or were just feeling bold
braced yourself before opening a tax email
checked your bank balance like it was a personality test
delayed a price increase because you were almost sure
You deserve books that are organized, interpretable, and decision ready at every stage.
This matters because your business is not a hobby. It funds your life, your rest, your future plans, and the people you care about. My job is to meet you where you are so you’re able to lead your business with peace.
Because when your books are handled properly, everything else feels lighter.
You’re creative. Visionary. Excellent at your craft.
But no one handed you a manual for quarterly taxes, contractor paperwork, profit margins, or knowing what you can actually pay yourself
And guessing gets old. You want decisions to feel deliberate.
You want tax season to feel boring. You want to lead your business with steady footing instead of crossed fingers.
That’s not too much to ask.
You didn’t go to school for bookkeeping, yet you’re expected to make financial decisions that affect your income, taxes, hiring, and long term growth.
you're not bad at business.
I earned my B.S. in Accounting summa cum laude and spent seven years in payroll, tax, and operational accounting, including time at Deloitte. I’ve seen how businesses run behind the scenes, and I know what actually keeps them healthy, compliant, and quietly thriving.
But I chose to build Refined Books Co. differently.
Here, bookkeeping isn’t a cold spreadsheet exchange. It’s financial stewardship with context. I don’t just categorize transactions. I interpret them and show you what your numbers are saying and how they can guide your next move. We look ahead. We plan intentionally. We build structure that grows with you.
My clients go from April panic to monthly rhythm. From bracing for quarterly taxes to paying them with composure. From second guessing their pricing to raising it with reason.
I bring technical precision and genuine care to this work.
And yes, we make it feel organized, seamless, and maybe even a little fun!
Inside you’ll find approachable mini trainings, practical tax guidance, and strategy templates designed to help you set things up correctly from the start. No mystery categories, but clean structure built for creative brains.
If you like understanding how things work and want your systems to feel smart and streamlined, this is your corner of the internet.
