About

In 2006, after years of working in finance and public accounting, I founded Greenleaf Accounting Services to help small business owners like you.

During my time in the banking industry, I saw a lot of scared and clueless business owners who didn’t understand their own books. I was heartbroken when I moved into public accounting and realized that many of the small business owners I worked with didn’t understand what we produced and certainly never used the information to improve their businesses.

That’s when I realized that what I really wanted to do was help small businesses. I felt I could become their very own “accounting department,” not just taking care of their books but also helping them understand what they mean.

And that’s exactly what my team and I do! We love working with small business owners, but we’re much more than that. Read on to find out more about us.


Deb Howard Greenleaf, EA, CEO & Principal

Deb Howard-Greenleaf

I’ve always been passionate about small businesses, even before I was a small business owner myself. After graduating from Bowdoin College with a degree in economics, I worked in a variety of accounting and finance positions before starting Greenleaf Accounting Services. Since then I’ve pursued a variety of certifications and coursework to improve my skills, including:

  • Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor (2006)
  • Advanced Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor (2007)
  • Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor (2012)
  • Advanced Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor (2016)

When I’m not helping small business owners, I’m volunteering with my local animal shelter and school booster clubs. I also lead a Great PA Cleanup team in our neighborhood, dragging unsuspecting volunteers through the ditches of Franklin Township in the name of environmental responsibility!

You, Small Business Owner

“Deb is an amazing person, not only at what she does (in which she excels) but her personality is simply the best! She is always in clear control of her work; she knows her stuff inside and out; and she’s such a joy to work with and to count as a friend!
