Meet Renee
I'm a virtual bookkeeper and business consultant based in
Canyon, TX, and I've spent more than 15 years helping
Amarillo-area small business owners understand their finances, get ahead of their taxes, and stop making decisions without the full financial picture. If your accountant processes your numbers but never really explains them, that's what I built this practice to change.
What 15 Years With Panhandle Business Owners Taught Me
After more than 15 years working one-on-one with small business owners across Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle, the patterns become hard to miss. The businesses change, the industries change, and the problems don't. Most owners are working hard, generating real revenue, and still guessing at their tax exposure. Most have never had anyone sit down and explain what their numbers actually mean.
The reason is simple: the accounting industry is built around processing, not teaching. Files come in, returns go out, and the business owner walks away knowing exactly as much as they did before. I built Make a Mint Accounting because I wanted to be the practitioner who changes that dynamic — someone who explains the why, walks through what the numbers mean, and helps owners leave every conversation knowing more than when they walked in.
Being based in Canyon, TX and serving the Amarillo area virtually gives this practice something a national firm or a call-center accountant can't replicate: genuine context for what it's actually like to run a business in this market. The economic realities here are specific, and the businesses I've worked with here have taught me things no textbook covers.
What I Take On, and What I've Stepped Back From
This is an intentional practice. The service model is designed so that every client gets real attention and every engagement produces something genuinely useful, not just a filed return and a see-you-next-year. That requires being selective about what I offer.
What I Currently Offer
One-Person Practice, by Design
When you work with Make a Mint Accounting, you work with me directly. I take the calls, run the consultations, build the strategy, and answer the questions, every time. There's no account manager between us, no junior staff handling your files, and no version of you having to re-explain your situation to someone new.
That's not a limitation. It's the point. Flat-fee accounting services and direct practitioner access mean you always know what you're paying, and you always know who you're working with. That's a model most accounting practices don't offer, and it's the model this one is built around.
I'm not the right fit for every business. If you need a large team or a full suite of traditional accounting services, there are excellent firms in the Amarillo area that can serve that need. But if you want a small business financial advisor in the Texas Panhandle who gives you direct access and plain-language guidance, that's what this practice is.
Questions About Working With Make a Mint Accounting
Who is the best small business accountant in Amarillo, Texas?
I'll let the work answer that rather than claim it outright. What I can tell you is that Make a Mint Accounting is built around direct access, flat-fee pricing, and guidance that helps small business owners understand their finances, not just file paperwork. If those priorities match what you're looking for, the right starting point is a conversation.
Are you an experienced bookkeeper near Canyon, TX?
Yes. I'm based in Canyon, TX and have been working as a virtual bookkeeper and business consultant serving the Amarillo area and Texas Panhandle for more than 15 years. While I'm not currently accepting new bookkeeping clients, I offer courses for owners who want to manage their own books and a virtual bookkeeper oversight plan for those who already have a bookkeeper and want professional review.
Do you offer flat-fee accounting services in Amarillo, TX?
Every service at Make a Mint Accounting is flat-fee priced. That means you know the cost before we start, there are no hourly billing surprises, and there's no meter running every time you send a follow-up question. Flat-fee pricing is part of the model because it's how I'd want to be treated as a client.
Is Make a Mint Accounting only for businesses in Amarillo or Canyon?
All services are delivered fully virtually, so I work with business owners across Texas and beyond. That said, my roots are in the Panhandle and the majority of my consulting clients are based in the Amarillo and Canyon area. If you're local, that regional context comes with the engagement.
Ready to Work With Someone Who Will Actually Explain It?
