Erin (she/her) founded Advocate Accounting in 2013, recognizing a deep need for approachable and accessible tax and accounting services within the LQGBTQIA+ community. After finding that traditional firms were at best ignoring this community she became one of few experts in tax preparation for registered domestic partners and same-sex married couples living in WA, CA and NV, before marriage equality. Over the years she found the same gap existed for many non-profit organizations and expanded the business to offer specialized services to values-aligned nonprofit organizations. She is both proud and humbled to work with internal and external teams who have held her accountable to making values-aligned business decisions. Prior to accounting, Erin was a professional Texas Hold ‘Em poker dealer and still regularly visits Las Vegas to play. But don’t worry, when it comes to your accounting, she never gambles!
Emily (she/her) joined Advocate Accounting in 2023 with over 15 years of bookkeeping experience. Whether crunching numbers for a flower farm, public television station or general contractor, she has approached every stage of her career with enthusiasm and an open mind, guided by the principle that no task is too small if it needs doing. As a fresh transplant to the Pacific Northwest, she is looking forward to exploring all the lush natural beauty the region has to offer. She is also a lawn sport enthusiast, quick to create a playlist for any occasion and would like to pet your dog.
Lisa (she/her) joined Advocate Accounting in 2023 and has well over twenty years of public accounting experience, specializing in tax planning & preparation, auditing, accounting, and consulting. She has experience working with all entity types, including individuals, small businesses, counties, cities, and nonprofit organizations. She takes pride in working with and supporting her local community. She enjoys spending her free time outdoors, on her mini ranch caring for her horses, mini KuneKune pigs, Irish Wolfhound and two feisty ginger cats.
Anis (they/them) is grateful to be part of Advocate Accounting. Their survival under capitalism has included housekeeping, bartending, performing, feature writing, and all manner of sitting. As an office manager and bookkeeper, they've worked exclusively with nonprofits and small businesses. When they're not scheming for the fall of capitalism, they're enjoying moments of humanity with clients and community. They like quiet cats and loud Geminis.
