Why Amethyst Raccoon?
More than Numbers
I love to create: I sew, I play the clarinet, I’ve just gotten a pyrography kit to start on, I enjoy making cards occasionally. It’s not a strong enough suit for me to make a living at it, but I know what it is to create.
I’m a mathematician, a qualified bookkeeper, and generally very gifted at spotting connections. These are my biggest strengths, and I want to use it to help you excel at your strengths.
I want numbers to be available to inform every business owner, even the brand new sole trader. But I know that there is more to life than numbers, and I will prompt you to do what feels right to you, rather than blindly following the numbers.
