About Brenda

Cleared

I've spent over two decades keeping other people's records precise — first as a legal secretary drafting contracts, pleadings, and agreements, and tracking attorney billable hours and invoices at Edano & Pangan Law Office since 2003. Since August 2024, I've brought that same discipline into remote bookkeeping and U.S. tax preparation.

I hold a TESDA Bookkeeping NCII certification, a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certification from Intuit, and completed Borderless Accountants' 7-week U.S. Bookkeeping and QuickBooks Online training program. I work with U.S.-based attorneys, property managers, and small business owners to set up, clean up, and maintain books that reconcile to the penny — because a business that doesn't know its numbers can't grow with confidence.
