owner & CEO of Golden Ratio Bookkeeping

Meet Abby: Your Go-to Numbers Person

I have always had a deep affinity for numbers. From taking extra math classes in college to creating spreadsheets for fun, numbers have been a constant source of joy in my life!

Yet for many, they are a hurdle. When I started Golden Ratio Bookkeeping, I wanted to make a meaningful difference in my client’s lives – not simply fulfill an item on their to-do list.

Whether we are focusing on maximizing profits or organizing complicated books, you’ll be working with someone whose love for numbers and entrepreneurship will shine through.

This passion for supporting service providers is what led me to leave my high-paying, secure engineering career of 10 years. Now I get to nerd out daily, transforming bookkeeping into an empowering tool instead of a stressor!

I live in Wichita, Kansas with my husband, our three children, and Kingsley, our elderly German Shepherd.

Abby Nerderman
Owner & CEO

My superpower is taking lots of numbers and transforming them into a clear story. Not only do I understand the numbers but I can communicate them meaningfully to my clients.

Qualifications

I’m an Enrolled Agent (the highest tax recognition possible from the IRS).

Additionally, I have a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering.

Our Results Speak for Themselves

“I really love the monthly meetings where Abby walks me through all of the numbers. It’s an opportunity for me to ask questions and understand what is or isn’t working. At the end of the day, I really like knowing that my bookkeeping and my business finances are in order and all of the things that Golden Ratio Bookkeeping does behind the scenes so I can go and do the work that I do. That’s the best part, is knowing that it’s done and it’s done well, and I don’t have to think about it every day!”

Brooke Carpenter, The Carpenter Group
“Hiring Abby as a bookkeeper was probably the best decision I made financially going into business for myself. I've gone through three accountants and none of them have been great except Abby. I don't have to divide my mental energy and I can focus on what I need to focus on in my business versus constantly worrying about the financial aspect of it.”

“Phenomenal service! Abby really knows what she is doing. Highly recommend.” “I’m so grateful for Abby. Before working with Golden Ratio Bookkeeping, I had to scramble, I spent hours at the office putting together stuff for taxes - hours. It was a nightmare. I never want to go through that again. I felt like things were extremely disorganized, just in little pieces everywhere, and nothing was clearly planned even when I tried. Now, I can go to bed at night knowing that the finances are in order and I don't have to worry about who could be knocking at our door tomorrow to tell me what mistakes I've made."

Josie Oldham, Mosaic Mental Wellness
“Abby is a very important part of my team, the service she provides is probably worth 10 times what I pay! Because good accounting is worth two and a half times what it costs you, easily. One mistake would cost that for sure. If junk goes in, junk comes out. Abby really makes it a point to have really good stuff going in and watches that really closely, so I know the reporting that I get to manage my business and to manage my life and my investments is accurate.”

FAQs

To ensure a superior customer experience, we take on a very limited number of monthly bookkeeping clients. Currently, we have one space available for a new client.
We currently collaborate with professional experts with these types of business models:
done-for-you professional services, business-to-business consulting, 1-to-1 coaching or counseling, group coaching or training programs, assessment or typing services, or workshop and speaking events. If you don’t fit neatly into one of these categories, don’t fret we’ve taken on clients outside of these models if the work excites us and they’re a good fit. We do NOT work with nonprofits, they have specific needs that we choose not to specialize in.
We fully customize our services for every single client! During your Discovery Call, we'll take some time to get to know each other, review your goals and plans for the future, and go over any questions you have. From there we'll discuss the next steps and come up with a plan that works for where you’re at.
We ask all of our clients to commit about 15 minutes every week to send us supporting bookkeeping documents or answer questions. Some of our clients like to meet with us once every month, but it depends on how involved you like to be!
Not much! If you come from zero bookkeeping, we generally ask for client and product lists to help get things going. In high-volume transaction cases, we might recommend investing in an auto-feed receipt scanner or receipt scanning service.
Nada! We provide the software needed to complete your bookkeeping project. If you already have something existing that we plan to keep using, we’ll walk you through adding us to your account.
The investment to work with us is a flat monthly payment that way there are no surprises if one month gets wacky plus you can budget and forecast accordingly. Your monthly bookkeeping package will depend on the complexity of your business and your service needs. Our monthly services start at $250 per month.
The accounting “file” inside of the accounting software is always yours. It’s yours before we work together, it’s yours while we work together, and it’s yours after we work together.
