Julie Moriarty – Founder
Julie has spent over 15 years helping service and trades-based businesses get a handle on their finances. Whether it’s a local contractor, plumber, consultant, or real estate agent, she knows how to make bookkeeping and payroll simple, so her clients can focus on what they do best. She’s certified in QuickBooks Online, Gusto Payroll, and QuickBooks Payroll, making her a pro at handling the numbers.
In 2022, Julie started Compass Rose Accounting, inspired by her love of the ocean and her New England roots, plus time spent living on Cape. Now based in Chicago’s Jefferson Park neighborhood, she runs her business with the same clear sense of direction you get from a compass rose.
At home, Julie lives with her husband, three kids, two cats, and a big, friendly mastiff. When she’s not helping clients or improving workflows, she loves reading, working in the yard, and cheering on the Chicago Fire.
