About

Experienced. Certified.
In Your Corner.

I'm Michelle Ouellette, founder of MO Bookkeeping Services, LLC. With over 20 years in finance operations across SaaS, distribution, and mission-driven small businesses, I've seen firsthand how clean books and reliable reporting change the way business owners make decisions.

I launched MO Bookkeeping to bring the same level of financial rigor I applied in corporate environments to small and growing businesses — without the overhead of a full-time hire.

We're based in Tewksbury, MA and work with clients locally and remotely. Whether you need a monthly bookkeeping partner or help getting your accounts untangled, I'd love to connect.
