About Us
Fused Accounting arose through conversations with other business owners needing help in their businesses. In conversations with these business owners, each had varying levels of the same concerns; we saw a prevalent pattern emerge. The need for clarity, structure, connection, and knowledgeable support.
We found that a knowledgeable support network is a key factor in a businesses growth and success, without it, a business can only grow to the level of experience of the business owner. This is where Fused Accounting helps entrepreneurs thrive. We understand that you may not know what questions to ask to get the answers you need – we do! We understand that you can not be everything to everyone – we can support and connect you, allowing your time to be focused on the profitable aspects of your business.

Deane Campbell, Senior Bookkeeper
Deane started her accounting/bookkeeping journey while exploring options at NAIT. Knowing Denise through the local baseball community she “touched base” to see what her thoughts where on a career in accounting, as she knew Denise had many years experience in this area. This conversation led to Deane enrolling and finishing Nait’s Applied Bookkeeping program. From there, Denise and Deane kept connected and eventually Fused Accounting hired Deane..…the rest is history!
“It has been a great experience learning everything there is to know about bookkeeping and I am always learning something new… this is what I love about this job - the learning never ends!”, says Deane.
Natty Lyslo, Bookkeeper & Tax Preparer
Growing up with a mom that is a bookkeeper, I knew I wanted to follow in the same footsteps. Math and numbers were always a strong suit of mine throughout school, so bookkeeping came naturally to me.
I enjoy the challenge of organizing and maintaining our clients books and being a part of their business in a way that supports their growth and success.
I find the bookkeeping world is one of continual learning, and with Denise as my coach and guide, I look forward to a career in bookkeeping and tax preparation for entrepreneurs and business owners.
