I help take the stress out of your business finances, so you can focus on what truly matters to you. For a lot of business owners, bookkeeping can feel intimidating — like diving into the numbers will reveal some big, scary mistake waiting to bite. But that’s not how I do things. There’s no judgment here (and definitely no suits).
I'm Jon Gibson, and I’m all about down-to-earth, no-fuss bookkeeping that makes your life easier. I’ll help you get clarity on your numbers, so you can feel confident, in control, and free to spend more time doing the work you love — and living the life you want.
I help small business owners get a handle on their finances — so they can focus on growing their business without second-guessing their numbers.
I didn’t start out in bookkeeping, exactly. I spent over 12 years with Habitat for Humanity of Danville, starting out as the ReStore Manager, then stepping into the role of Executive Director. Along the way, I found myself consistently drawn to the financial side of the work — first managing budgets and reporting for the store, then eventually overseeing all aspects of the organization’s finances.
During my time as Executive Director, I helped guide the affiliate through a period of growth — from a small team of just 5 employees to a mid-sized nonprofit with 17 employees. I handled everything from budgeting and payroll to financial planning and reporting — all while balancing the unique needs of a retail operation, a construction team, and a nonprofit mission.
After that, I served as the Manager of Statewide Support for Habitat for Humanity of Illinois, working closely with affiliates across the state to strengthen their operations. That experience gave me a broader view of how organizations grow, where they struggle, and how much of that comes down to understanding (or not understanding) the numbers.
Now, I help small business owners and nonprofits gain clarity and confidence in their financials.
Real-world experience running both small retail and construction operations
Hands-on financial leadership at the executive level — budgeting, forecasting, reporting, compliance
Deep understanding of nonprofits, small businesses, and the growing pains that come with scaling
A calm, judgment-free approach — no jargon, no lectures, no suits
A heart for service — because helping others succeed is what led me here in the first place
I work best with small business owners and nonprofit leaders who are doing a lot — and need someone they can trust to make sense of the numbers. If you’re trying to grow but feel held back by messy books or financial uncertainty, I can help.
Whether you’re a solopreneur just starting out, or a growing team ready to get serious about your systems, I’ll meet you where you are.
Bookkeeping doesn’t have to be overwhelming or intimidating. I believe it should be:
Clear – so you always know where your money’s going
Consistent – so you’re never left guessing at tax time
Collaborative – so you can make smart decisions with confidence
I take care of the day-to-day financial tracking, so you can stay focused on your clients, your team, and your big-picture goals.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll probably find me spending time with my family, watching a good movie, or thinking up ways to make processes more efficient (I can’t help it). I’ve always believed that good systems create freedom — in business and in life.
If you're ready to finally feel confident about your business finances, let’s talk.
