Meet the Founder Behind Golden Ease Bookkeeping
25+ Years of Accounting Experience Dedicated to Your Business Success
I’m Charity Ricks, founder of Golden Ease Bookkeeping LLC, a Certified Bookkeeper with more than 25 years of accounting experience. I help small business owners create accurate, organized financial systems so they can make confident decisions and focus on growing their businesses.
I started Golden Ease Bookkeeping because I know firsthand how much small business owners juggle every day. You’re focused on serving clients, managing operations, growing your business, and taking care of your family. The last thing you need is the stress of wondering whether your books are accurate or if you’re prepared for tax season.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with businesses and individuals to organize financial records, solve accounting challenges, and create systems that bring clarity and peace of mind. I believe bookkeeping is about more than numbers; it’s about giving business owners the financial insight they need to make informed decisions and build successful, sustainable businesses.
What makes Golden Ease different is the relationship. My clients aren’t passed from one team member to another or treated like a number. When you work with me, you have a dedicated bookkeeping partner who genuinely cares about your success and is committed to providing responsive, personalized service.
Whether you’re starting a new business, catching up on overdue bookkeeping, cleaning up your books, or looking for ongoing monthly support, I’ll help keep your finances accurate, organized, and tax-ready every step of the way.
My goal is simple: to make bookkeeping easier so you can focus on what you do best—running your business.
Welcome to Golden Ease Bookkeeping, where expertise meets personal service and your financial peace of mind comes first.
