Meet our Founders

Chelsea Anderson
Co-Founder

Hi, I'm Chelsea Anderson, I am a partner in a Texas based bookkeeping firm, and Co-Founder of Coaching the Books, an online virtual QuickBooks training and bookkeeping company. Originally from the breathtaking mountains of Colorado, I started my career in banking, building a strong foundation in finance before moving to Texas. Since 2021, I've been dedicated to bookkeeping, leveraging my expertise to help businesses manage their finances with precision and clarity.

I'm happily married and a devoted parent, cherishing every moment with my children. When I'm not immersed in numbers, you can find me enjoying a captivating book, exploring the great outdoors, or reminiscing about the Colorado mountains that will always hold a special place in my heart.

John Anderson
Co-Founder

I’m John Anderson, a dedicated professional with a Master’s degree in Accounting from Texas A&M University, class of 2012. My career began in public accounting, where I honed my financial expertise before transitioning to entrepreneurship. Since then, I’ve owned several businesses and, in 2022, became a partner in a thriving bookkeeping firm, bringing my passion for precision and financial clarity to clients.

Outside of work, I’m a family man, happily married with two children—a boy and a girl—who keep life vibrant and fulfilling. In my free time, you’ll find me on the tennis or pickleball court, where I love the thrill of a good rally, or relaxing at the beach, soaking in the sun and surf. I’m driven by a commitment to excellence in both my professional and personal life, and I look forward to connecting with you through my work.
