Julie Murphy, Owner and Professional Bookkeeper

 As an innovative problem-solver with nearly 20 years of expertise in business and operations management, I am passionate about supporting small businesses and nonprofits in achieving financial clarity and sustainability. I bring extensive experience in QuickBooks Online and Desktop, with a focus on nonprofit finance, regulatory compliance, budgeting, and cash flow management. My background includes full-charge bookkeeping and accounting, event logistics, and HR management, with a talent for creating streamlined processes that increase efficiency and reduce costs. Known for my attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and ability to simplify complex financial concepts, I am committed to helping clients leverage their finances for growth. Through my work, I aim to deliver accurate, insightful financial reporting that fosters informed decision making and long-term success.   To read more about my training and experience in nonprofit and small business finances, visit my personal LinkedIn Profile.

I grew up in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida, and though I’ve never loved the weather or crowds (or bugs), orange groves, salt water, and Jimmy Buffet music are woven throughout who I am. Having extended family in Indianapolis made moving to Southern Indiana an easy choice when my husband was offered a transfer in 2019, and we soon fell in love with the kind neighbors, good schools, and support for the arts here and in Louisville. I’m a proud mama to three smart, creative, and talented young people who are turning out to be really great humans and are constantly teaching me new things.

As someone who has worked with and cared for those experiencing neurodivergence and mental health challenges, I strive to create an inclusive and empowering environment, and I work with my clients to ensure they feel understood and comfortable. I understand that numbers, spreadsheets, bookkeeping and accounting don't come easy to everyone- we all have a variety of talents after all.  My goal is to meet my clients where they are in life, and to use my experience, skills, and tailored communication to provide the clarity and guidance they need to navigate their small business and nonprofit finance with ease.
