About

Hello

Hi my name is Safara (pronounced Sa-fair-ra). I live in Calgary, AB. I've been in the accounting field for almost 6 years now, having helped a variety of small/medium business clientele with their virtual bookeeping/accounting and personal & corporate taxes.

Through my accounting experience, I became more motivated to support local small businesses and help them succeed; thus Butterfly Bookkeeper YYC really took flight!

Outside of work I enjoy going on walks, watching documentaries or listening to true crime podcasts and volunteering with my husband at our local library branch with kids. I also like artsy things such as watercolour painting, macrame and doing arts/crafts at the library with kids as well!

My Story

I started Butterfly Bookkeeper YYC with an eagerness to work with small businesses and help make sense of their accounting.

I am very passionate about supporting Canadian small businesses, whether that's the coffee shop down the street; frequenting family-owned restaurants, buying second-hand clothes from local consignment shops/Canadian brands or some good reads from an independent bookstore. So why not continue to support the small business community with their bookkeeping and financial needs?

I don't subscribe to the stereotypes of boring and stressful accounting work; I love to help my clients understand and feel less intimidated by the accounting process. I also break down the financials on a monthly basis on a call to ensure you feel supported and can make informed business decisions.
