About Sara

My career journey began in sunny California with a startup company. It’s where I discovered my true passion and natural talent for accounting and business operations – my career took flight from there.

In the years since, I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of companies across different industries, including finance, manufacturing, engineering and services. My roles have ranged from a bookkeeper to general ledger accountant and financial manager to controller – but my experience working with startups specifically gave me the chance to wear many hats and understand how a business runs and grows.

With my diverse professional background, not only can I provide bookkeeping and accounting services, but I can also share expert advice that ensures your financial success and gives you peace of mind.

The name InLyne carries a heartfelt connection to my two daughters, Lyla and Nessa. The "LY" in Lyla and "NE" in Nessa merge to create "Lyne." As a mother, my girls are my inspiration and motivation in everything I do – including starting and growing this business.

I currently live in central Iowa with my husband Joel, two daughters and dog Mochi. We moved to Iowa in 2021, inspired to be closer to my family after our years in California. We are very active as a family, always finding ways to get out to enjoy nature and new adventures together. In my free time, I enjoy thrifting, sampling the latest charcuterie board trends, doing hot yoga and listening to live music.

InLyne symbolizes the love and dedication I pour into both my personal life and my work. I do everything with the vision to give my people and my clients the utmost care, commitment and heart.

Our Clients' Review Our Bookkeeping Services

Whitney Warne, Ivory House Photography

Sara stepped into my business's financial life in a moment of total chaos and fear. We had just come to terms with how badly our previous bookkeeper had dropped the ball and we were scrambling to pick up the pieces and make our business safe. Sara took the challenge head-on, living up to her title as fractional controller. We are now a few short months into working with Sara and I can already see the positive benefits of her precision, problem-solving, and practicality. She has created processes we'd been asking for for years. She made our P&Ls easy and clean to read. She asked all the right questions and supported us when we didn't have the right answers.

I can't say enough good things about Sara. Her commitment to her clients, their successes and their future financial prosperity is unmatched. If you're looking for more than a bookkeeper, you've found the right woman.

Mose & Jennifer O'Griffin, APROE

Hiring someone to help one’s company in a financial administrative role requires a high level of trust due to the level of access that must be provided. We have worked with Sara at InLyne Solutions for the past 7 years. We could not ask for a more trustworthy and professional service to help us operate and grow our company. A+ Service!

Eric Quiner, Precision DSM

One plus one equals three when working with Sara. She is engaged, intelligent, and responsive. She has worked to streamline my budgeting and estimating process for my flipping homes and real estate business. Soo happy she is on our team!

Mike Kirschmann, ZT Amplifiers

I have had the good fortune of hiring Sara for our company’s accounting position when we first launched ZT Amplifiers and also have the luxury to say we still work together 15+ years later. She has great energy and is driven to improve not only her skills, but also the success of the company. During the many years we have worked together, I know that whatever she is working on it will be done right and beyond what I imagined.

Austin Gibbons, Austin Musical Electronics

I've been working with Sara for a decade and couldn't be happier with her services. As a small business, it's invaluable to have someone who's flexible enough to work in a very chaotic environment, tenacious enough to hold me accountable when I forget to send her receipts and invoices, and trustworthy enough that I can give her access to everything without having to worry about it.

Jenny Quiner, Dogpatch Urban Gardens

Sara started helping me with my books and turned a disaster into a masterpiece! She's an amazing resource and has really helped me better understand my business numbers. My business has grown since working with Sara and she has been a major asset.

Rachel Townsend, Elan Spa

I love the ease of working with Sara. She has been a great help with my business by getting us organized and helping with all of our bookkeeping needs. I love that I can send her texts as well. With our busy schedule, it helps so much to just be able to send a quick message.
