My Story: From Insurance and Financial Services to Dedicated Bookkeeper

Hi, I’m Jessica Hillinger, the founder and lead bookkeeper at Hillinger Bookkeeping. Based in beautiful Waxhaw, NC, I’ve built a career around supporting businesses like yours. Married with 4 children, I cherish my time outdoors—whether hiking local trails, reading a good book over coffee, or enjoying a glass of wine after a productive day. My journey started with State Farm in insurance and financial services, where I navigated complex policies, client accounts, and financial planning. This experience honed my skills in meticulous record-keeping, risk management, and helping clients achieve financial stability.

Transitioning to bookkeeping was a natural fit. That’s where I discovered how empowering clear financial records can be for business owners. Drawing from my insurance and financial services background, I bring a deep understanding of compliance, cash flow, and strategic planning to every client. Today, as a bookkeeper, I focus on providing bookkeeping support that frees you up for what matters most: growing your enterprise and enjoying life. My optimistic outlook and commitment to community service drive me to help others succeed, whether through accurate small business bookkeeping or sharing insights at local events.

At Hillinger Bookkeeping, we’re not just about ledgers; we’re about fostering growth and peace of mind for entrepreneurs in Waxhaw and beyond.
