Monica Mercer, Bookkeeper
Monica enjoys working with BKA’s wide range of smart clients who are passionate about their business. Streamlining efficiency and processes is what Monica’s about – at work and at home. Monica counts herself fortunate to have been a stay-at-home mom after working in engineering as a graduate of Texas A&M. As her daughter and two sons became more independent, part-time accounting work really fit the bill for her. She’s especially happy with her BKA role, identifying with Katherine’s care for her clients and the creativity Katherine brings to guiding them on their financial journey. When not at her desk, Monica can be found enjoying time with her family, at sporting events, playing games, and, as bookkeepers can relate, on the watch for great deals!
