About you

Based on experience, we preform best working with new entrepreneurs who are new to bookkeeping and like to start with cloud based systems. Or with companies that have outgrown their current systems and are looking to transition into the cloud. For a transition, we will come up with a transfer plan with a time frame that works for everyone and allows for a smooth transition.

Our Team

Marloes van Lent

Owner

Marloes van Lent

My name is Marloes van Lent, and I am a bookkeeper soon to be accountant at Day2Day Books. I have over ten years experience in finance.

I moved to Golden in September 2009 from the Netherlands and soon I knew that I didn’t want to leave this beautiful country. After getting my permanent residency in 2014, I could start to make my dream come true and I started Day2Day Books in summer 2015.

Before running my own company, I have 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 business and local business.

Prior to moving to Canada I worked at Ballast Nedam, one of the biggest construction companies in the Netherlands where I worked on multimillion Euro 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 studying to become a Certified Professional Accountant, which I’m excited about to add as an extended service in the near future. I am also a Quickbooks Online Pro-advisor and have helped multiple clients to set up their online accountant software, making life so much easier for everyone involved.

I think one of my core strengths is to help companies to improve their processes and to help them work more efficient. Besides moving companies into the cloud, I have helped implementing new invoice and automatic payment systems for big and small businesses.

As a real accountant at heart, I like to balance not only numbers, also my life. I love to include a bike ride, a visit to the (climbing) gym, some yoga and in winter some skiing off course to my daily to do list.

Amanda Caldwell

Bookkeeping Assistant

Amanda Caldwell

My name is Amanda Caldwell and I am a mother of three. I have lived most of my life in many different parts of Canada, including a few of the more remote areas. As a result I have always loved the outdoors and love little towns like Golden. Even though I am new to this area, my family and I explored and greatly enjoy living in the mountains. Some of my passions include, horseback riding, hiking, camping, and music. I also enjoy taking my family to new places and adventures in the local areas.

I have been looking to settle down and provide stability for myself and my family. At Day2Day Books I have been given the opportunity to achieve this goal. I am new to book keeping but have always been meticulous and enjoy the work that I do. Through training and practice I hope to use my skills and background to provide excellent service to customers and be valued asset to Day2Day Books.

Claudia Stead

Bookkeeping Assistant

Claudia Stead

My name is Claudia Stead. I have previously lived in Surrey, BC for almost 10 years. My husband and I decided to move to Abbotsford and expand our family, and now we have been living here for more than 2 years and love it. I’m a mother to a little boy, and a Corgi dog, which basically means two super energetic kids. My family and I enjoy hiking/snowshoeing new trails, finding hidden waterfalls and road tripping.

I have been a bookkeeper for more than 8 years and always enjoyed working in this field. My favorite part of bookkeeping is doing clean ups and making sure the books are tidy and balanced.

I am thankful for Marloes to welcome me to the Day2Day Books’ team and giving me the opportunity to work remotely from Abbotsford. I look forward in increasing my knowledge in latest technologies and automation and serving various businesses.
