For us, that project was our unfinished basement—a catch-all space full of outgrown kids’ clothes, broken furniture, seasonal decorations, and my husband’s beloved antique train table taking up most of the floor space. Like many families, we were overwhelmed by the amount of stuff and the lack of time to deal with it. My husband and I finally committed to tackling it head-on. And the results? Life-changing. Here’s exactly how we did it—and how you can too.

As a professional organizer and bookkeeper with over two decades of experience, I understand how stressful this time of year can be—especially for those who avoid dealing with their finances. Meeting with your accountant often uncovers a slew of questions and leads to a frantic search for paperwork. But here’s the truth: when your finances are out of order, the impact goes far beyond taxes. You might be missing out on savings goals, overspending beyond your monthly income, or even damaging your credit score. That’s why gaining control over your finances—and the paperwork that comes with them—is essential for long-term financial health and retirement planning. To help you get started, I’ve broken the process down into six simple steps that will set you on the path to financial clarity.
