WHO I AM

My name is Matt Tucker and I originally started Small Systems Consulting because I enjoy setting up big picture systems to help business owners manage their data. Over the past eleven years, I have worked with hundreds of farmers, food producers and manufacturers in setting up and fixing their QuickBooks and inventory systems. I enjoy working with people and groups and specialize in customizing suggestions for processes that will meet your needs.

My background is in economics and accounting and have taught and designed college-level accounting courses. I also specialize in communication skills. After extensive training in nonviolent communication, I am now enrolled in a master’s program for counseling. I bring these skills when I work with you on your books. A big part of accounting, and running a small business, is about the soft skills. I help you understand a bit about yourself and your capacity to manage an appropriate-sized accounting system. 

In the past, I have owned a small business (a bakery called From the Ground Up), worked on a farm, taught financial management, and worked professionally in finance and accounting. I have a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, and a master’s degree in Community Development and Applied Economics, and I am a Certified Quickbooks ProAdvisor

HOW I HELP YOU

Accounting Systems + Accounting Consulting

I can help you set up and explore your options for managing your accounting data in QuickBooks. I enjoy the setup process and will help you create a chart of accounts and determine what you need and don’t need. 

I can also help you fix an existing system and problem solve ways to get you back on track. 

If you have general accounting questions, I can also provide assistance on an as-needed basis to help you navigate whatever questions arise. 

Questions? Contact me

Business Coaching + Communication Consulting

Hire me for a business coaching session to help organize your thoughts, learn a bit about yourself, or set a course of action in how you respond to an overwhelming email. I use my skills from nonviolent communication to help you craft a message or set a plan that meets your needs. 

I understand what it’s like to run a small business, I know how it’s lonely and scary and a bit more personal. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone else who can hear you, see you, and advocate for your needs. Sometimes it helps to have someone else encourage you to advocate for yourself or reflect on what you are really asking for from others.
