From the Kitchen Table to a Proper Office Desk & Beyond
It all began like so many stories of entrepreneurship: with a kitchen table, a project, and a dream or two. Jenn Tilley was juggling side work for a small business while still showing up fully as a Project Manager and Financial Controller. Yet her passion for helping small businesses tackle issues within their bookkeeping and recordkeeping processes couldn’t remain hidden forever. Word of mouth about Jenn’s excellent service and deep professional expertise grew the business quickly, moving her from just one client in 2016 to four clients in less than a year’s time.
A growing business deserves a promotion, so Jenn took things from the kitchen table to an office desk set up in the bedroom. From there, it was time to take the leap: in December 2017, she went full-time as a business owner. In fact, the company she worked for valued her services enough to sign a contract for ongoing project management and bookkeeping services.
Jenn’s deep focus on bookkeeping, payroll, remittances, GST returns, and fundamental financial analysis continued to grow the company to new heights.
Jenn Tilley Accounting Services is now an incorporated company far beyond that first kitchen table in beautiful Belnan, Nova Scotia. Not only does she have a dedicated home office in lovely Enfield, Nova Scotia, she also has a team that’s equally dedicated to the mission.

Meet Jenn
Behind the accounting practice is Jenn Tilley herself, a proud Newfoundlander with a quiet determination to do what’s right every time.

When she isn’t busy helping clients start, grow, and refine their businesses, she is focused on her family, including four children with their own range of hobbies and sports. As a wife, mother, and business owner, she knows how important it is to give the various aspects of life genuine attention and focus.
Her passion for blending day-to-day accounting and bookkeeping services with business coaching, support, and advice makes her a unique member of her profession. Jenn’s past community involvement includes working with Girl Guides of Canada, the Yarmouth Association for Community Residential Options (in support of children with disabilities), and serving as a team manager in the East Hants Minor Hockey Association for six years.

Meet Mark

Mark loves spending time with his wife Jenn and their kids and finds great happiness in watching them dance, play basketball, or simply go for a ride together in the woods on the family’s side-by-side.
Mark’s desire to help others extends beyond work as well, including 15+ years coaching minor hockey and a stint working with the QEII Foundation to help improve health care for all Atlantic Canadians.
Meet Molly
What’s a team without a friendly office supervisor? She may only be six years old right now, but she’s along for the ride. When things get busy in the office, this high-energy pup is on the case! She’s happy to wait for petting time, but not too long. She is still a puppy at heart.
Who can be genuinely stressed when the golden retriever nudges you for cuddles and love?
