We see the person behind the profit.
Most firms see a spreadsheet. We've traded cold corporate-speak for a genuine partnership. One that learns your business, understands your goals, and stays invested long after tax season ends.

Clean book. Clear picture.
I'm Kara, and I started Maple Tree because I know what clean books can do for a business because I've watched it happen.
For years, I kept the books for my husband's business, so I've sat in the owner's seat, not just the bookkeeper's. I saw the exact moment things changed. When an owner can finally read their own numbers, they stop guessing and start deciding. They stop bracing for tax season and start planning for growth. That's the shift I want for you, and I know how to build it because I've done it.
I also spent years in the corporate world, where I learned the kind of strategy and rigor big companies use to stay in control of their money. Most small business owners never get access to that level of thinking. You will. I bring the discipline of a corporate finance team without the cold, hands-off treatment that usually comes with it.
Then I did the scary, exciting thing: I left and bet on myself. So when you're weighing a real decision, hiring your first employee, raising your prices, taking on that big client, you're not talking to someone quoting a textbook. You're talking to a fellow owner who has made the leap and knows exactly what's riding on the numbers.
That's what you get with Maple Tree, corporate-grade rigor, a true owner's perspective, and a partner who is genuinely in your corner.
We combine a high-level strategic perspective with the technical know-how to keep your books bulletproof — so your numbers connect to your bigger picture.
We understand the big picture of growth and operations, so your numbers work harder for you.
We use the industry-leading tools to keep your records accurate, organized, and tax-ready at all times.
Years of navigating the financial hurdles of small businesses mean there isn't much we haven't seen or solved.

Maple Tree is built for salon owners. If your day runs on appointments, tips, and turning chairs rather than debits and credits, we speak your language, and we already know where your books get complicated.
Your time is your most valuable asset. Every hour you spend fighting your books is an hour you're not behind the chair or growing your salon. You hand us the books. We hand you back your time, and numbers you can finally trust.
