About Us

Meet the Founder

Bosco Tanson, founder of Lighthouse Bookkeeping

Bosco Tanson

Founder & Managing Director

Bosco Tanson founded Lighthouse Bookkeeping to help service-based businesses and nonprofits gain greater clarity, confidence, and control over their finances. He understands that most owners and nonprofit leaders would rather focus on serving their customers and communities than spend hours sorting transactions, correcting QuickBooks, or chasing financial reports.

His approach is shaped by practical experience in bookkeeping, business management, and nonprofit leadership. As the founder of Prayer Nest Ministries and Great Mercy Outreach Ministry, Bosco understands firsthand the responsibility of managing limited resources, maintaining accurate records, preparing reports, and building systems that support sustainable growth.

Through Lighthouse Bookkeeping, Bosco provides reliable monthly bookkeeping, catch-up cleanup, tax-ready records, cash-flow support, and clear financial reporting. Nonprofit organizations also receive support with board-ready reporting, financial organization, and grant readiness. Lighthouse’s tools, including Nonprofit Navigator AI, provide additional support for organizations working with limited staff and resources.

Bosco’s commitment is simple: to provide dependable financial support, clear communication, and accurate records so every client can make better decisions and focus on the work that matters most.
