Melissa Wiklinski is a powerhouse of precision and perspective, bringing over 25 years of bookkeeping experience to the kinds of businesses that thrive when they realize that financial operations are far more than ‘just data entry’. If you want a creative partner, one who helps you to gain clarity and growth in your finances by making your income and expenses understandable- and even exciting to review- you have discovered your trusted ally. 

Melissa works with niche clients like contractors, medical practices, healing arts specialists, and touring musicians, providing not only accurate books, but clarity, problem-solving, and a deeply personalized approach to your financial life. 

As a former NCAA Division I volleyball player, Melissa brings that same focus and discipline to her work, paired with a deep appreciation for an entrepreneur’s fierce love of creativity, meaningful work, and freedom. 

Known for her ability to clean up complex QuickBooks files, streamline invoicing and payables, and tracking multiple income sources and projects, Melissa has moved beyond the billable hour by also offering value-based package pricing that brings clarity and flow to the budget of a business. She is tech-savvy, systems-minded, and strategic — staying up to date with the latest professional and financial technology, and always looking for the cleanest path from scattered data to clarity. 

Melissa has lived in Asheville, NC since 2004, while maintaining her strong roots with family and friends in Northern New Jersey. Outside of work, you will find her cooking, sewing, hiking, enjoying a vineyard view, strolling with her dog, learning to play the wood flute, or studying French — always seeking balance between a robust work life, being creative, and enjoying the simple pleasures of life with family and friends.
