Jess Stahulak, MHA
Founder of Friendly Ledger Financial, LLC
Friendly Ledger Financial is a bookkeeping, payroll, and tax firm built on the belief that good accounting should feel approachable, empowering, and above all, friendly.
Before launching her firm, Jess built a successful career in health administration, leading finance, budgeting, and operations for hospital departments and academic programs. Known for her attention to detail, strategic mindset, and steady leadership, she managed multimillion-dollar budgets, guided complex initiatives, and helped organizations deliver on their missions with financial integrity.
As a New Year’s resolution, Jess decided to return to her accounting roots and complete her CPA licensure qualifications, an endeavor that quickly reignited her passion for financial management and entrepreneurship. That decision sparked the creation of her own firm, where she now helps small businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals bring clarity, confidence, and strategy to their finances.
Today, Jess blends her background in administration with her expertise in bookkeeping, payroll, and tax to provide approachable, high-quality financial support for clients who want to grow with intention. Her mission is simple: make accounting feel friendly, transparent, and empowering.
