Mary James is the bookkeeper at Twig & Fig. She's responsible for all aspects of A/P and keeping of the accounts ledger. We'd be hard pressed to find someone who handles all aspects of our books with such a unique combination of finesse, efficiency, kindness and levity. She puts fun into the finances, and takes that part off our minds so we can concentrate on creating things! We love Mary, and having her as part of our team!!

Mary collects, inputs and organizes my accounting in QuickBooks.  She provides detailed reports and helps me prepare for taxes throughout the year. I have had the pleasure of working with her for several years now ~ and have gained much more than a skilled bookkeeper.   Her humanity shines through all the numbers, which is greatly welcomed when working on finances.   Mary has the QuickBooks knowledge to provide me with the reports I need to not only to run but improve my business and tax prep.   Simply put, she is a gem.
