"Hi, I’m De’Anne Kelly, the founder of South Ridge Financial Solutions."

My Story

With experience across several industries and a strong understanding of the challenges local businesses face, I founded Southridge Financial Solutions to help small business owners in Lake County, Cleveland, and Northeast Ohio simplify their finances and stay on top of their books.

I focus on delivering precise, reliable financial support, designed to solve problems and streamline your operations. My services are tailored to your business—not a template solution.

Before launching Southridge, I built my skills through a hands-on professional journey:

• Travel Industry: I began my career in the travel sector, where I developed strong organizational and client service skills while working across South Africa, Ireland, and England
• Construction Industry: I transitioned into office management, overseeing day-to-day operations, bookkeeping, website development, and working closely with a CPA on accounting and tax preparation
• Healthcare: I also worked in a dental practice, managing scheduling, billing, and patient care ... all with the same attention to detail I bring to bookkeeping

These roles sharpened my attention to detail, adaptability, and problem-solving. These are the same skills I now use to support business owners with their financial systems and compliance.  I understand how local businesses operate, from seasonal changes that affect lakefront cafés to the specific tax requirements Ohio businesses need to follow. Whether you're running a Fashion Eyewear sales company, a salon, managing rental properties, or operating a construction company, I offer bookkeeping that fits your day-to-day reality and long-term goals.

At Southridge Financial Solutions, I make your numbers make sense so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.
