A Few Words
About Me
Hi, My name is Maria Drake
I’m a Believer of Jesus Christ, Minister, wife, a proud mother of a beautiful adult daughter, author of Overcomer: A Memoir, and owner of Simply Balanced Bookkeeping Services, LLC.
I have dedicated my life to serving others and helping them succeed. For 25+ years, I worked for the State of Arizona Department of Corrections, retired as Deputy Warden of Operations. While I valued every aspect of my career, the most rewarding part was mentoring and guiding young professionals as they developed successful and fulfilling careers. Watching others grow in confidence, achieve their goals, and reach their full potential was both an honor and a privilege.
That passion for helping others grow and succeed inspired me to start my own business to help small to medium business owners be successful by relieving you of the stress and burden of managing your books while you have the freedom and peace of mind to focus on what you love most –your Business!
Your business isn’t just numbers to me; it’s about building a stronger, more profitable future. I’m your business growth partner.
Although I reside in Texas, my services are fully remote, allowing me to support clients nationwide with efficient, real-time bookkeeping solutions. I’m also a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, providing professional support tailored to your business needs.
