About Numbers Without The Noise
About Me
Hi, I’m Lorenzo Marrese, founder of Numbers Without the Noise: a consulting-focused bookkeeping and financial clarity partner for small business owners. I believe entrepreneurs shouldn’t have to feel overwhelmed, confused, or embarrassed by their financials. My goal is simple: help you understand your numbers clearly so you can make confident decisions.
Who I Am
I hold an Associate’s degree in Accounting and have worked in a variety of hands-on accounting roles including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and tax preparation. I’ve also helped operate businesses in between those roles, which gave me firsthand experience with how numbers impact real decision-making.
Because of that mix, working inside accounting AND helping run businesses—I bring a consulting approach that focuses on clarity, direction, and practical action, not just data entry.
Right now, Numbers Without The Noise is just me, which means you work directly with the person doing the work, not a rotating staff member. You get personal communication, consistent support, and someone genuinely invested in your success.
What I do
I combine bookkeeping with a consulting approach that focuses on helping you actually understand your financial picture.
Here’s what that looks like:
Clean, organized, accurate books (even if they’re behind)
Visual financial dashboards
Regular review sessions
Plain-English explanations
Clear recommendations and next steps
Yes, I do bookkeeping, but I’m primarily here to help you make business decisions with confidence.
Who I work With
I specialize in small business owners and independent service providers who:
want clarity, not accounting jargon
want someone they can talk to regularly
want help making business decisions based on real numbers
are tired of guessing or “just hoping it’s all working out”
If you focus on your craft and clients, I help you understand the financial side that supports all of it.
My Philosophy
Clarity before complexity — most entrepreneurs don’t need more spreadsheets, they need understanding.
No judgment, ever — if your books are messy or behind, that’s normal. I fix that, fast.
Consulting first — every number should tell you something about what to do next.
You get a partner — not just a bookkeeping service.
Why Choose Me
Because I’ve been on both sides: the accounting department and the small-business seat. That means I understand how the numbers affect decisions like hiring, pricing, taxes, and growth, not just how to categorize transactions.
Consulting is built into everything I do. You’re not getting data, you’re getting direction.
