ABOUT ECLECTIC BOOKKEEPING

Eclectic Bookkeeping was built with one goal: to give creative business owners reliable books they can trust.

I’m Craig Polding. Before becoming a bookkeeper, I spent over 20 years as a creative business owner myself. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to keep up with the numbers when what you really want is to focus on your work.

That experience is what drives how I show up for clients today.

I keep my client list intentionally small, so every business gets the accuracy and attention it deserves. My role is simple: organize your books, deliver clear reports, and keep everything in order — quietly, consistently, and without stress.

At Eclectic Bookkeeping, you won’t get jargon or judgment. You’ll get clean, accurate books and a steady hand making sure nothing slips through the cracks, so you can focus on the work you love.

My role is simple: no chaos, no judgment, and no more avoiding your books. Just steady systems you can trust — built in QuickBooks Online and tailored to how your business actually runs.

Hi, I’m Craig

Quickbooks Certified Bookkeeper

My background is in sound editing, where attention to detail and technical precision mattered as much as creativity. After more than 20 years as a creative business owner, I know how overwhelming it can feel to manage the numbers when all you really want is to focus on your work.

That’s why I started Eclectic Bookkeeping — to bring the same precision I honed in sound editing, along with the perspective of someone who’s been in your shoes.

WHY I DO THIS WORK

Too many creative business owners are running on talent and hard work — but without organized books to back them up. That means making decisions without accurate numbers, scrambling at tax time, or feeling overwhelmed by systems that don’t quite fit.

I started Eclectic Bookkeeping to change that.

Because creativity deserves reliable support.
Because strong businesses are built on accurate books.
Because every owner deserves clarity they can trust.

I’m not here to hand you a complicated framework.

I’m here to keep your books organized, deliver clear reports you can actually use, and give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your numbers are right.
