Meet Jessica
Jessica Harris founded Magnolia Ways to help service-based business owners understand their numbers and make confident financial decisions.
After years working in construction and service-based companies, Jessica saw the same pattern again and again: hardworking business owners doing great work but feeling unsure about the financial side of their business.
With over 15 years of accounting experience, she focuses on clear reporting, practical advice, and helping business owners stay organized and tax-ready.
Jessica also enjoys exploring new technology and AI tools that help simplify accounting systems and make financial workflows more efficient for small businesses.
When she’s not working with clients, she enjoys photography and staying active — you’ll often find her playing pickleball around Woodstock.
How It Started
Magnolia Ways was built for business owners who are good at what they do — but don’t always have time to stop and decode their numbers.
After years working inside construction and service-based companies, I saw the same pattern over and over: strong businesses running on gut instinct because the financial side felt confusing, reactive, or unclear.
I created Magnolia Ways to change that. We bring structure, clean reporting, tax awareness, and straight answers — without judgment and without corporate fluff.
I enjoy working with established businesses, but also love working with startups. Starting it right makes all the difference.
Some clients come to us feeling behind. Others are growing fast and want better systems. Either way, you’ll get clarity, a plan, and someone who can talk through the numbers in plain English.
