HOW IT STARTED
Hi - I’m Gillian.
I'm a former dancer & fitness instructor who transitioned from the movement world into a career of bookkeeping and tax. As a creative entrepreneur, I remember feeling confused and bewildered when interacting with finance & business professionals. Encounters like these inspired me to pursue accounting so I could support creatives, entrepreneurs, and community organizations to understand their finances and feel empowered in their relationship with money.
Since officially launching MIC in 2020, our list of clients, services, and team (and family!) members has grown and I could not be more grateful to be seeing these visions come to fruition.

Gillian has been a lifesaver for this right brained gal! I have always felt intimidated by numbers and money (and to be honest, not very skilled with them either) and as an entrepreneur, tax time has always felt like going to the dentist. Hiring Gillian to help me with bookkeeping was the best choice I could have made.
