About Us
First Hill Bookkeeping is run by two accountants who are passionate about building community by helping small businesses succeed financially. We believe financial wellness can be achieved by anyone.
Danielle Ford
Danielle is an accountant by trade who specializes in bringing structure and clarity to small-business finance. She works full-time in the aerospace industry, and she brings first-hand experience with digital business ownership into her work.
She turns messy, unclear financials into clean, decision-ready systems. Not just bookkeeping for compliance, but bookkeeping that actually tells you what’s going on in your business.
Danielle believes most small business owners don’t fall behind because they lack effort—they just don’t have the right financial visibility. Her goal is to give clients clarity, control, and a foundation they can build on with confidence.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find her climbing at the bouldering gym, exploring Seattle, or playing a board game with friends.
Aero Verkler
Aero focuses on keeping the day-to-day details of a business’s finances accurate, organized, and up to date. Currently completing their certification for bookkeeping, they bring a practical, hands-on approach shaped by real-world experience and a strong attention to detail.
They specialize in maintaining clean records, consistent transaction tracking, and reliable financial data—making sure everything is in place so clients always know where they stand.
Aero believes good bookkeeping is about creating a sense of stability and confidence for business owners. Their goal is to make the financial side of running a business feel manageable, steady, and under control.
In their free time, Aero enjoys attending jazz funk lessons, rollerskating, reading, or taking a scenic walk in the city.
