Hi, I’m Johanna — the founder of de Jong Bookkeeping.
I was born and raised in the Netherlands and now live in Maine with my husband, where we’ve built a quiet, off-grid life. I’ve truly come to love it here—it feels like home.
Outside of work, I enjoy drawing, painting, knitting, and crocheting. I’ve always been someone who likes creating and bringing structure to things—and that naturally carried over into bookkeeping.
My Background
Before starting de Jong Bookkeeping, I gained extensive hands-on experience managing bookkeeping in full-service hotel environments.
These are fast-paced, complex operations with:
-
High transaction volume
-
Multiple revenue streams
-
Payroll and staffing complexity
-
Tight margins that require precise tracking
That experience taught me how to keep financials accurate, organized, and reliable, even in demanding situations.
Why I Do This
Most business owners don’t start their business to manage numbers.
But without clear financials, it becomes hard to:
-
Know if you’re truly profitable
-
Understand your cash flow
-
Make confident decisions
That’s where I come in.
I genuinely enjoy helping business owners take something that feels overwhelming and turn it into something clear, structured, and easy to understand.
What I Help You Achieve
When your bookkeeping is done right, everything changes.
You gain:
-
Clear financial visibility
-
Stronger margins
-
Better control over cash flow
-
Confidence in your decisions
And just as important—you get your time back.
A Personal Note
When I’m working, you’ll usually find my boxer dog Kommandant Waffles and my cat Dreamboat nearby, keeping me company.
I care about doing things the right way—keeping things simple, organized, and dependable—both in life and in business.
