This journey that has become Genesis Affordable Solutions began 18 years ago when I was trying to subsidize my family’s income to get us through some difficult times. I was laid off from a large firm that had taken a financial downturn and since I had already had a background in accounting, I decided to continue my own education and go into business for myself. I began by getting certified as a bookkeeper and professional tax preparer from Universal Accounting and followed up by obtaining my bachelors from Seton Hill in Business Administration and Accounting. I took on many bookkeeping and accounting jobs, including payroll and tax returns during this time. I eventually took on another position as a case manager and advocate for low income individuals, who were struggling to get back on their feet. With my background in accounting, I also took the lead in my office’s VITA program, which offered tax prep assistance for qualifying participants. It was during this time that I saw many individuals and families who were going through the same struggles that I had gone through. This became the inspiration to reinvent my evolving business into something that was not just another job, but instead a vehicle that I could use my education and life experiences to give back to those in my community. Thus, Genesis Affordable Solutions was born. I provide accounting and bookkeeping services to businesses of all sizes, as well as providing tax preparation services to companies and individuals at a cost that works within their budget. My goal is to help you find peace of mind by providing quality services and to give you back the time that you would worry about your finances, so that you can instead spend that time doing the things that matter most to you.
