Scott enjoys working with a great team of people that have a passion for what they do!

Office Assistant

Amiee was a stay at home mom for almost 10 years before helping out at her children’s Montessori school with their bookkeeping. It was there that she learned QuickBooks. At about the same time that her last child was transitioning to the elementary school, Blue Terra was looking for a bookkeeper. Enter Blue Terra! Amiee enjoys helping to ensure that the financial records are in order, allowing the Blue Terra team to focus on delivering top-notch service to their clients. She’s also not afraid to swing a hammer. Amiee takes pride in being able to help out wherever she is needed.

Away from the office, Amiee enjoys spending time with husband and four children, friends, and the greatest dog ever, Simon. She loves to read, listen to funny podcasts while walking, and cook (mostly soup, which is infuriating to her children).
