Tanya Prescott
Principal & Founder of My Virtual Bookkeeper
Tanya Prescott understands that a solid structure is only as strong as its foundation and in business, that foundation is the numbers. With over 20 years of experience in the financial industry, Tanya has dedicated her career to providing the clarity and precision that small businesses need to thrive. As the founder of My Virtual Bookkeeper, she bridges the gap between high-level accounting and the everyday needs of the modern entrepreneur.
Tanya’s connection to the trades is both professional and personal. Her background is rooted in a respect for technical expertise, influenced by her father’s career as an aircraft mechanic and her stepfather’s work as a professor of business math and accounting. This upbringing allowed Tanya to develop a deep appreciation for the hard work and exactness required in specialized fields.
She realized that her own "trade"—the precision of a balanced ledger—could help fuel the mission to bring more women into the industry. By applying the same level of mastery to the books that a tradeswoman brings to her craft, Tanya is dedicated to supporting the growth and success of women pursuing their professional goals.
