What would your business look like if you could make informed decisions?
Would you continue to run your business on "instinct" with your hands in too many pots and books that are sloppier than a a toddler who just smashed spaghetti…
...with no clue how to clean up the mess because you've been burned one too many times by financial professionals and tools that fail to deliver?
Or would you partner with a firm that doesn’t stop at bookkeeping, but takes a deep dive into your entire business model, industry, and customers to help you identify and eliminate problems before they rear their ugly heads…
...so that you can stop treading water and lead your rapidly growing company with confidence?
tell me,
is this you?
- 1 Feeling overwhelmed as your revenue reaches new heights. You started out wanting to just help people.
- 2 Running a successful practice came with a side of uncertainty on how to manage your finances.
- 3 Aware that running a successful practice comes with a price. You’ve invested a lot of effort in growing your practice and you want a financial partner to make sure you’re doing things right.
- 4 Growing so fast that things (and MONEY) are slipping through the cracks. You can’t keep up with all the moving financial pieces.
- 5 You need advice on when to hire, how to grow, and how to make sure you’re getting paid for the work you’re putting in.
- 6 Ready to get some of your TIME back. You can’t manage everything anymore and you don’t want that responsibility. You may be ready to step fully into the CEO role.
imagine if...
- Have peace of mind that a team of experts is handling your money management, allowing you to focus on what you do best.
- Worry less about whether you're making the most of the money you've worked so hard to earn - your finances will be working for you, helping you achieve the lifestyle you've always dreamed of.
- Think about the time you'll save by having a team handle your bookkeeping and budgeting. No more last-minute scrambling to get everything in order or not being clear on what you can afford.
- Have an expert service that not only helps you keep accurate financial records, but also provides valuable insights that allow you and your tax professional to identify and take advantage of tax minimization opportunities.
- Have the satisfaction of paying your team well, having space to breathe without feeling the constant pressure of worry about payroll, and feeling confident that your business is financially healthy.

hey there
i'm racquelle
Former corporate turned small business accountant and advisor. Mother of 4, fianée, first-generation immigrant and an all around boss lady.
I’m a senior accountant, business advisor, interior design fanatic and super mom. With extensive experience serving as an accountant and strategic advisor to many of LOLA's clients, I have helped many entrepreneurs and startup founders grow their business through smart financial management and tailored bookkeeping and accounting solutions.
I hold both a Bachelor’s of Science in Business with a Specialization in Accounting and a Master of Business Administration from Capella University in Minneapolis. Soon after graduating I launched Lola Accounting and Tax, which is self-funded, grown 100% organically and debt-free.
I founded LOLA out of the desire to take the hard work my parents put in as immigrants from the third world who worked tirelessly in a country that always viewed them as second class citizens to provide for me, to another level. A level that will break the generational curse of financial insecurity not only to my family but to everyone LOLA serves.
But, something wasn’t quite right. Categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, running payroll, and preparing tax returns made good money, but it wasn’t fun. And, it definitely wasn’t fulfilling. Very few of my clients were truly thankful for my help and that was, in a way, exhausting.
Believe it or not, in the accounting world, that’s a somewhat controversial opinion. Accountants view themselves as numbers-people. We take financial data, rearrange it, and prepare it to be used for tax returns, management reports, and financial audits. Maybe we give clients tips here or there. Or, answer a few questions that have nothing to do with numbers. But, we definitely don’t give advice.
Yet, without even knowing you, I’d bet you crave your accountant’s advice. The numbers are nice. You appreciate the tax return keeping the IRS off your back. But, you want advice. You need help navigating the business of running a business. 9 times out of 10, you call your accountant with general business questions and concerns. How can I make more? Am I saving enough? Why is there never any money left in my bank account at the end of the month? Which retirement account do I open? Should I hire some employees? Am I charging enough? …and so on…
I realized that I love that part of the job. I love helping business owners talk through the problems in their business. I enjoy talking to clients, discussing their issues, giving targeted advice, and hearing about their success. I live for helping clients improve their businesses, make more money, and sleep better at night.
I’d loved consulting all along. I just didn’t call it that yet.
I want to help your business. I want to help it grow and become more profitable. I want to help systemize it so you can live your life instead of burning the midnight oil. I want to talk your ear off about saving for retirement so you don’t wind up working until you’re 75 (unless you want to, of course).
My goal is helping business owners, like you, build better businesses (and lives) that they can be proud of.
