Ella Thomas
Bookkeeping and Accounting Strategist
Ella Thomas is a seasoned Bookkeeping and Accounting Specialist and the founder of Strategic Bookkeeping Specialists (SBS San Diego). With extensive experience working closely with small to mid-sized business owners, Ella has dedicated her career to simplifying financial processes and empowering entrepreneurs to gain clarity, control, and confidence in their business finances.
Throughout her professional journey, Ella has witnessed firsthand how financial confusion and overwhelm can hold business owners back from fully focusing on growth and success. This inspired her to create SBS San Diego, a bookkeeping firm built on the core values of trust, transparency, and personalized support. Her mission is to provide clients not just with accurate bookkeeping, but with the financial clarity and peace of mind they need to make informed decisions and pursue their business goals without stress.
Ella specializes in working with entrepreneurs who seek more than just number crunching—they want a trusted financial partner who understands their unique challenges and ambitions. She offers practical, strategic bookkeeping solutions tailored to each client’s needs, helping them unlock business potential through clear financial insights.
Beyond her technical skills, Ella believes that strong client relationships and open communication are essential to successful financial management. She strives to create a supportive environment where business owners feel empowered and at ease with their finances.
