OUR HISTORY
Unchained Financial and Bookkeeping was born from personal experience and a clear need among small businesses. Our work began after navigating firsthand the stress, confusion, and overwhelm that often come with managing finances. We saw how many individuals and business owners lacked clear systems and dependable support—and knew something had to change.

I went on maternity leave with our 2nd child and transitioned into a single household income with no savings.
2022
We confronted our financial reality for the first time by totaling our debt—$144,000, excluding our mortgage. That same year, we were introduced to zero-based budgeting.
2023
We committed to a zero-based budget and the cash envelope method, which enabled us to pay down debt with focus and intention.
2024
Maxed out a Roth IRA for the first time and continued to prioritize and expand our financial education.
2025
In April, we paid off our final consumer debt. In October, we leveraged our increased home equity to purchase our forever home on 10+ acres of land.
2026
We are completely consumer debt-free with a fully funded emergency fund. Now we are focused on maximizing retirement accounts and investing in future business opportunities!
