Heather Crippen's Résumé

Hard Working? Multitasking? Driven to Succeed? Definitely. I am a former small business owner and current grad of Lane Community College with an associate's degree in accounting. I have maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.97 while still helping to raise four children. I enjoy the hustle and bustle of life. Combine this with strong organizational skills, a love for routine and rules, and a desire to crunch numbers and you have an ideal accountant.

I am currently taking the steps required in opening my own Limited Liability Company, Black Morgan Accounting & Bookkeeping. I will provide low cost accounting and bookkeeping services either on-site or at my office. Current software being used includes QuickBooks and Peachtree Complete.
