Our Team

Marloes van Lent – Owner

Marloes van Lent

My name is Marloes van Lent. I am the owner, visionary, business coach, consultant and bookkeeper for Day2Day Books.
I have over ten years experience in finance.

Moving to Golden in September 2009 from the Netherlands, I soon realized that I didn’t want to leave this beautiful country. After getting my permanent residency in 2014, I started to make my dream come true – owning my own business Day2Day Books (circa 2015).

Before running my own company, I worked in the finance departments for two major players in the ski industry in Canada, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort and Canadian Mountain Holidays. This helped me build my understanding and insight into Canadian and local business. Prior to moving to Canada, I worked at Ballast Nedam, one of the biggest construction companies in the Netherlands working on multi-million European projects.

While I was studying for my bachelor degree accounting, I worked for BDO CampsObers in the Netherlands, one of the top five accounting firms in the world. Currently, I am focusing on business coaching, developing and evolving my clients’ businesses, and growing my team of professionals. I am also a Quickbooks Online Pro-advisor and have helped multiple clients to set up their online accountant software, making life easier for everyone involved.

One of my core strengths is the ability to help companies to improve their processes and become more efficient. Besides moving companies into cloud technology, I implement invoice and automatic payment systems for big and small businesses.

As an entrepreneur at heart, I like to balance number and my life. Bike rides, visits to the (climbing) gym, yoga and skiing are on my daily ‘To do’ list.

Jenness McGrath – Bookkeeper

Jeness McGrath

My name is Jeness McGrath. I was born and raised in Golden and have moved back to town in 2019, after spending 8 years in Calgary where I completed my post-secondary education in the field of accounting.
After University, I worked as an accountant for two Calgary-based firms while obtaining my accounting designation.
Happy to be back in my hometown, I have the opportunity to collaborate and utilize my work experience with the team at Day2Day Books. Helping local businesses thrive in the community is truly gratifying. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors while camping, hiking, biking, skiing, or simply walking my dogs.

Alyson Beitz – Bookkeeping Assistant

Alyson Beitz

My name is Alyson Beitz. I decided to move to Golden 9 years ago after spending time in the area on a camping trip. I had never been to the East Kootenay and was just in awe of it’s natural beauty.
I grew up on a farm in Ontario, and have lived in a few cities before finding out that Golden is the place for me. Like most residents here, I enjoy being outside in nature. Whether it be gardening, paddle boarding, camping, hiking or cross country skiing, I’m in my happy place.

I am new to bookkeeping and am grateful to have employment within a company where I can learn all about cloud based bookkeeping. With an array of clients to work with, and the staff being so friendly and knowledgeable, I feel like I can grow to become successful in this industry.

Passionate about the outdoors, people and culture. For several years, I have worked in Western Canada in Senior HR roles for Kicking Horse Mountain Resort and Sunshine Village Ski & Snowboarding Resort.

Prior to moving out west, I lived abroad studying in Japan, ski/snowboard coaching within the Swiss Alps, and working in Europe for Deutsche Borse. I have a Bachelor of Commerce Degree, specializing in Human Resources Management.

John McAulay – IT Professional

John McAulay

Hi! I’m John McAulay. I moved to Golden, BC in 2008. Since then, I’ve moved around the area quite a lot. I currently reside in Banff, AB. In my free time I like to learn new skills. Trail / road running is how I get my exercise.

Since graduating from the University of Canterbury in 2003, I have worked in many facets of the IT industry. From software and web development to system administration, network administration and security. I’ve been involved in many projects throughout my career. Some of the projects I am most proud of include: Managing the roll out of a new POS system at a ski resort and some of the GIS based projects I’ve worked on for a public transit organization.

Computers have always been very interesting to me. As such, I consider myself very lucky to have been able to create a career out of something that I have always been drawn to.

Alex Peeples – Payroll Specialist

Alex Peeples

I was born and raised in eastern Ontario. I have an honours degree in business administration, specializing in human resources. I have extensive experience working in finance and management, with a particular interest in employment law.

My favourite part about working with Day2Day Books has been meeting the friendly team and clients that we serve. In my spare time, I love mountain biking, hiking and skiing – very classic activities for life here in Golden!
