We handle the day-to-day tracking of your income and expenses, categorize transactions, reconcile bank accounts, and keep your books accurate and up to date. Whether you're just starting out or scaling fast, we make sure your financial foundation is solid.
Need more than just bookkeeping? We offer strategic financial guidance. From budgeting and forecasting to pricing strategies and growth planning. It’s like having a CFO in your corner, without the full-time cost.
We deliver clear, easy to understand reports that show how your business is performing. From profit and loss statements to balance sheets and cash flow summaries, we give you the insights you need to make informed decisions.
We help you stay on top of what you owe and what’s owed to you. That means timely bill payments, accurate invoicing, and proactive follow-ups so your cash flow stays healthy and your relationships stay strong.
From calculating wages and taxes to issuing pay stubs and 1099s, we manage the entire payroll process. We ensure your employees and contractors are paid correctly, on time and that you stay compliant with all payroll regulations.
Behind on your books? No judgment here. We specialize in cleaning up messy or outdated records, correcting errors, and bringing everything current so you can move forward with confidence.
But we don’t stop there—we’ll also help you develop simple, sustainable processes tailored to your workflow, so you can keep your books clean and organized going forward.
We’ll get you set up with modern, cloud-based accounting tools like QuickBooks Online. Then we’ll train you (or your team) on how to use them effectively so you’re empowered, not overwhelmed.
Training your internal team in bookkeeping is not just about data entry. It’s about fostering financial literacy, accountability, and operational excellence. With the right tools, processes, and support, we empower your team to confidently manage financial tasks and contribute meaningfully to your organization’s success.
State and local taxes, especially sales tax, can be tricky. With different rules across states and platforms. We handle registration, tracking, filing, and compliance so you can avoid penalties and stay on the right side of the taxman.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive financial support, we offer convenient and reliable notary services exclusively for our bookkeeping clients. Whether you need to notarize financial documents, contracts, affidavits, or other important paperwork, our certified notary public is here to ensure your documents are legally recognized and securely handled.

We’re officially certified in QuickBooks Online, which means we know the software inside and out.

We even dream in double-entry accounting.
It’s weird, but functional…

Jennifer Gaveske

OUTSOURCED CFO & ADVISOR
Jennifer is the founder of Tully Accounting and Advisory, where she helps small and mid-sized businesses feel more in control of their finances. With over 15 years of experience, she knows that accounting can feel overwhelming—and she’s made it her mission to simplify the process and make it work for real people running real businesses.
Before starting her own firm in 2019, Jennifer worked in leadership roles at CBIZ and Boulay, partnering with business owners to clean up their books, improve systems, and make smarter decisions. She’s also been in the trenches as an in-house controller for hospitality and retail businesses, so she understands the day-to-day challenges entrepreneurs face.
Jennifer holds degrees in both Accounting and Fine Art, which means she brings a rare mix of precision and creativity to her work. She’s a certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and holds a Client Accounting Services credential from the AICPA.
Outside of work, Jennifer is passionate about giving back. She’s served as Treasurer for the Saint Anthony Area Chamber of Commerce for nearly a decade and has volunteered her accounting skills to support local nonprofits.
At the heart of it all, Jennifer loves helping business owners feel confident about their numbers—and she’s built Tully to be a trusted partner every step of the way.
Jennifer Hockers

OUTSOURCED CONTROLLER
Jennifer is a dedicated financial professional who brings a rare mix of financial know-how and people-first thinking to the table. With a background in both Community Health Education and Accounting, she’s all about helping businesses not just stay on top of their numbers—but truly understand them.
As a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Jennifer knows how to make accounting tech work smarter for small and mid-sized businesses. She helps streamline operations, tighten up month-end close processes, and deliver financial reports that actually make sense—so leadership teams can make confident, informed decisions.
Her education in community health shaped her ability to communicate clearly and with empathy—skills that now make her a trusted financial partner across all levels of an organization. Whether she’s breaking down complex reports or helping a team get organized, Jennifer’s goal is always the same: to bring clarity, confidence, and calm to the financial side of running a business.
When she’s not working with clients, you’ll likely find her outdoors—biking scenic trails, hiking, or paddle boarding. Staying active and connected to nature helps her recharge and bring fresh energy to her work.

STAFF ACCOUNTANT
Brian is a driven and detail-oriented Staff Accountant who brings a thoughtful mix of precision and people skills to his work. With a recently completed degree in Accounting from the University of Minnesota Crookston and a previous degree in Audio Recording Technologies from McNally Smith College of Music, he offers a fresh perspective that blends technical expertise with musical discipline.
Before starting his career in accounting, Brian spent years in the Minneapolis restaurant hospitality industry as a server and bartender. That experience has sharpened his communication skills, adaptability, and ability to stay cool under pressure—all of which have helped him thrive in fast-paced accounting environments.
In his current role, Brian supports daily accounting operations, helps with financial reporting, and keeps things running smoothly across bookkeeping, payroll, and compliance tasks. His background in music, bartending, and the performing arts gives him a unique edge when it comes to problem-solving and thinking outside the box.
Outside of work, Brian stays connected with his love of music and the performing arts by teaching the visual program for a local high school marching band. It’s a way for him to give back, stay creative, and mentor the next generation of performers.
