It’s so nice to meet you!

Hi and thanks for stopping by! My name is Elgin, the face behind MET Core Bookkeeping. I’m a detail-loving person with a passion for helping online business owners get their books organized and stress-free. I’ve been in banking for awhile now, specializing in credit underwriting which involves reviewing financial reports day in and day out. Alongside my banking career, I work as a passionate virtual bookkeeper. My corporate job experience showed me just how important clean and accurate bookkeeping is for business success. I saw how solid financials opened doors, while messy books held people back from funding, growth, and clarity.

That insight inspired me to help small business owners take control of their finances with confidence. Through MET Core Bookkeeping, I provide simple, reliable, and personalized support to keep their books in order and their business moving forward. Let me deal with the receipts and reports, while you get back to doing what lights you up!

Qualifications:

  • Graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration focus in Management.

  • Certified QuickBooks Online Proadvisor and Xero Advisor.

  • Proven strengths in analytical thinking, time management, attention to details, accuracy, problem-solving, and confidentiality backed by 11+ years of experience as a Banker in one of the country’s most reputable banks.

  • Successful completion of Bookkeeping Masterclass Course with hands-on bookkeeping experience using QBO and Xero.

THE APPROACH

I like to keep things relaxed but reliable.

I like to keep things simple, clear, and tailored to what you need. I take a hands-on but stress-free approach, whether it’s cleaning up your books, keeping everything up to date monthly, or helping you understand numbers better.

I make sure to give you peace of mind so you can focus on growing your business while I handle the back-end with care and accuracy.

I’m all about clear and honest communication, no guesswork, no confusion, just straight-up understanding.

Bookkeeping’s my thing. I actually enjoy making sense of numbers and keeping everything in order.

Why Specialize in Helping Coaches, Consultants & Online Educators

As a bookkeeping professional, I focus on supporting Coaches, Consultants, and Online Educators—service-driven entrepreneurs who are building impactful businesses, often online.

These individuals are brilliant at what they do but can struggle with staying financially organized while juggling content, clients, and growth. Their income streams are often complex, think digital products, memberships, brand deals, and consulting. They need a bookkeeper who understands their world.

By specializing in this niche, I am able to provide tailored, efficient, and reliable bookkeeping that fits the way they work. My goal is to help them feel confident about their numbers, stay tax-ready year-round, and make smart financial decisions with clarity.

If this is you, let’s chat!

  • You want financial clarity and peace of mind. You’re ready to finally understand your numbers, not just guess them

  • You’re tired of feeling behind on your books. You’ve got months of uncategorized transactions (or haven’t opened your bookkeeping app in weeks.

  • You want to focus on growing your business, not tracking receipts. You’re ready to delegate the financial admin that’s draining your time.

  • You want organized, tax-ready books. No more scrambling during tax season, you want your books neat, accurate, and up to date.

  • You’re not sure if you’re profitable. You know money is coming in, but you don’t have a clear picture of where it’s going.

  • You’re craving support, not judgment. You want someone who can clean up the mess without making you feel bad about it.
