About Shana

A musician who speaks the language of the ledger.

I am Shana Stepanek — a musician and bookkeeper who believes creative people deserve financial clarity. My bookkeeping experience began long before earning my QuickBooks certification. I have worked in a car dealership office, managed accounts receivable and accounts payable for a hotel, prepared payroll information for processing, and spent years managing budgets and operations in educational and business settings.

Today, I combine that hands-on experience with ongoing QuickBooks training to help musicians gain clarity and confidence in their finances. Full Score Bookkeeping is a practice for working musicians, run by someone who actually knows what a session fee, a sync license, and a per diem look like on a P&L.

  • Decades inside music — performing, teaching, conducting
  • Specialist in creative and small-business bookkeeping
  • Based in Hillsboro, Kansas — working with clients nationwide
  • Plain-English communication, monthly reporting, no jargon

QuickBooks ProAdvisor Certified

Full Score Bookkeeping is certified by Intuit as a QuickBooks ProAdvisor — so your books are in the hands of someone who knows the software inside and out.

How I work — three commitments to every client.

An ear for the work

Years of playing means I understand the rhythms — gigs that pay late, royalties that trickle, expenses that don't fit any normal category.

Quiet discipline

Books closed on the same day every month. No drama, no surprise invoices, no scramble at year-end.

Plain language

Reports you can read without a glossary. A standing call so questions don't pile up.
