Hello!
Lovely to meet you. I’m Stef Penrod, owner of Sunlight Bookkeeping.

Learn My Story
I grew up all across the United States and called many states my home: Pennsylvania, Arizona, California, and Texas to name a few. And I hear you asking this as you read, I didn’t grow up in a military family. With all this moving, I grew to be adaptable and caring for all the people I come across.
My life centered around creativity and mental health which lead me to study Psychology in college.
In this era of my life, I met my now husband Spencer during a vacation. I thoroughly enjoyed studying Psychology but that fondness was not strong enough to sustain all the years of college I needed for any meaningful work in the field. My passion for supporting people can flourish in other careers and I dove into the working world.
To describe my working life would be akin to describing an abstract artwork.
From video production to website creation to financial reports, my work skills developed as a Swiss Army Knife. I noticed a strength in organization building but never knew how to utilize it in my day to day, outside of knowing where specific items in our home belonged!
Our beautiful daughter entered our lives right at the start of the 2020 Pandemic.
She instantly became the center of my world and continues to make me smile every day. I knew that whatever direction the future would take me, she always needed to be my top priority. Additionally, I want to be an inspiration to her as she continues to grow.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, my once stable career started to rock about like a ship on stormy seas in 2023.
There were so many paths laid ahead of me for my career, but one reverberated with my organizational skills. I took the plunge and stated Sunlight Bookkeeping that same year. Not only could I utilize my organizational mind, bookkeeping allowed me to support others like I wanted back in college.

Through my work, I love making a positive impact on the businesses I connect with.
Seeing how much time other’s gain back once they start working with me is a delight. The relief they feel knowing their books are in order is magical. My organization skills get put to the test often and continue to blossom. But there are more parts of me fueled through my work! My creative eye loves spotting patterns and making beautiful reports. I enjoy flexibility so my daughter continues to receive my attention and care.
I’d love to meet with you and make a positive impact on your business as well!
